most will think Tour de France
and , you would be wrong
Tour de France might be the largest competitive Bicycle event ,
but.............
Ragbrai , here in Iowa is actually the largest event , it's a noncompetitive event , it brings in 20,000 bicyclers , from all over the US and around the world
the route changes every year , but it starts on the Missouri River and ends on the Mississippi River
this year route is 406 miles , it came through here in NW Iowa ,
I've often thought about giving it a try , but thats as far as it ever got
but if there are any big time cyclists out there , might be something to look into , every town they past through has some kind of event waiting for them , and the towns they stay in over night , always have live concerts and street dance , and carnivals , and stuff
it's really for those who like to spend a week with 20,000 other people who share your interests ................LOL
and plus , you get to enjoy Iowa's beautiful country side
