No thanks.  That's why they make two wheelers with large engines.

^^^^^ What he said. I'd rather ride a mule then pedal a bicycle.

Where else can you do this:

So let me get this straight...instead of drinking the beer (which to me would be the wisest of choices), they use it to lubricate a slide?  What state is this in.....Iowa?  That's the state with all the corn in it, right?  So what do they do with the corn liquor?

[gPink]

They put it in your gas tank.
...and I thought they grew potatoes.

That would be Ohio, GP. Trust me, not all the beer is being used to slide on. And as an added bonus, the later in the day, the fewer the clothes being worn by the participants.

I think that's Idaho.

I think that's Idaho.

C'mon Sparky Iowa is also an "I" state.

[tweeter55]

You're right. My bad.   I never was very good in geography.

[Cholla]

What do they do with all that corn in Iowa? Turn it into ethanol and truck it to the Gulf coast for export.

My parents have hosted riders from RAGBRAI before.  THeir house is 2 blocks from the Mississippi.

Wait a minute here, I rode across Iowa on 2 wheels and I swear it took me a week, how can these riders do it with no motors?

[VirginiaJim]

What state has the most debt?   Iowa.....
