This is from John Karras, one of the Founders of Ragbrai in Iowa, and worthy to be passed on.  Go to Iowa to climb mountains?????

Bob;

If you think this might give a few folks a chuckle, please forward it to Summit Biking members.

Friends:

The following is from an Iowa friend quoting a paragraph from an Adventure Cycling publication called bikebits:

 

BIKE THE ROCKIES... IN IOWA!

Here's another one from Biking Bits, this one perhaps even more surprising than the National Park Service reaching out to cyclists: This summer's seven-day Register's Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) has a nearly identical amount of climbing as this summer's six-day Denver Post Ride the Rockies--both coming in at more than 21,000 feet of elevation gain!

 

And they say Iowa is flat.
