Like last year I'm looking forward to participating and seeing the wonderful communities of Iowa, meeting new, interesting individuals, with a similar passion from the unique vantage point of a bicycle. I enjoy the temporary disconnection from the hectic outside world and emersion into an event with 30,000+ of your new friends. Neighborhood House programs have been a beacon of hope in the under served area communities they serve. Affording people the opportunity to better themselves by offering resources to improve their quality of life. Please prayerfully consider supporting our teams efforts to reach and exceed our fund raising goals. I look forward to sharing the potentially record breaking RAGBRAI L experience with all my supporters and friends.
