Sioux City: We are in the main campground of Chris Larsen Park. Our illustrious drivers will find a spot for us on Friday night and guard it with their very lives until we arrive there on Sat. We were told it is first come, first serve, so we're going to try to be one of the first! Lisa and Scott will let me know where our spot is. I know some of you will be driving there yourself, so keep my cell number handy 515-669-6163 so you can call to get directions. We appreciate you two making the early trip. Also, thanks to Jerry Phelps for making that first call to get the wheel rolling!

Skunks!! It's almost time! Here are the final details for Ragbrai. TOO LATE TO TRAIN will happen on Thursday July 22 @ the Past Times Bar in Huxley 602 No.HWY 69. It's too late to train, so come and have a couple of cold ones and meet new and old (veteran!) skunks. Starting 6:00is to wheneverish!

Hey Hey Skunks!

Good Afternoon Skunks, Just a warm reminded that Ragbrai registrations are now being accepted. The sooner you sign up the better. A quick review of the process: Register on the Ragbrai web site with SKUNK. Print a copy of the waiver, sign it and mail it and your payment to me at my home address, which I will give below. If you have friends or family who are planning on coming with us this year, please have them go through the same process. The official Ragbrai club/team meeting is on Jan 30th before the big route announcement party.

RAGBRAI XXXVIII registration opens in one month. Now is a great time to review your online profile and make any necessary changes. Have you moved? Do you have a new email address? These are important forms of contact that need to be accurate in order for you to receive correspondence from RAGBRAI.

To review your profile, go to entries.ragbrai.org; login with your username and password; click “Edit your profile,” located on the right side of the page; and update your profile as needed.
