RAGBRAI, the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa, is held the last full week of July ever summer. Register's is a reference to the Des Moines Register newspaper a sponsor of the event. The bike ride attracts cyclists from around the globe including numerous cycling clubs and has included such luminaries as Lance Armstrong. The six-day long event leads riders through a multitude of Iowa's city with each church (and in Iowa, there are many) competing to have the best pie in town. The event is so popular that only 10,000 cyclists are allowed in each days 68 mile average run. It is a non-competitive event done simply for the pleasure of the journey. It is a week filled with riding, eating, friends, family and fun. RAGBRAI XXXVII will be the 37th annual event in 2009.
