It's RAGRAI time!!
For the third year in a row, I am going to be the sag wagon for my daughter's bike trek across Iowa.
What is a sag wagon, you ask?
"A sag wagon is a support vehicle for cyclists. As a general rule, cyclists on tour call the vehicle a sag wagon, while racers prefer the term 'broom wagon'. In either case, the sag wagon can be a vital part of the team which support cyclists along their journey. On long tours and trips, many cyclists grow quite attached to the sag wagon and its drivers, thanks to the comfort that the sag wagon provides."
So, that will be me, bringing comfort to a couple of cyclists.
RAGBRAI is a 7 day bike ride across the middle of Iowa. This year the route is 429 miles! YIKES!
I'm sure glad I will be driving the vehicle and not a bike.
Since we will be on road for 9 days total, posts here at The Book Bag are going to be scarce. The first year we did this, I created a post to go up each day and asked you all to leave encouraging words for my riders (in exchange for a chance at some giveaways). This year, like last year, I am not that organized and time is running out. *sigh*
The gals really, really enjoyed the comments that you have left for them in the past and they helped make the journey more fun for them. The gals were always asking what the latest comments were.
This year, there will be one giveaway with 7 winners, but you will have chances to leave comments, tweet, and share every day for more chances to win. Like I said, they really loved and appreciated all the comments.

And now the giveaway!
You get extra entries if you come back each day to tweet and/or leave comments for my riders. When I get back, I will select 7 names, one for each day of the ride. The winners will be able to select a book (up to $10) from either Amazon.com or The Book Depository.
So be sure to come back each day
to give these gals some support!
