Ragbrai is a cycling event providing entertaining challenge for thousands of people from around the world! An event such as this requires an individual to consume large quantities of quality (pork chops and chocolate pudding) food and gallons of delicious energizing drinks. Along the grueling 78 mile trek from Ames to Tama, a typical male, weighing between 50 and 600 pound would consume between 5 and 10 gallons of these delectable combinations of caffeine, water, secret artificial chemically enhanced ingredients, and copious amounts of sugar; 5-8 pound of pork and 10-15 pudding cups (or respectable alternative) would suffice for food.

Now where and how would someone be able to acquire all that he needed to make it to Tama!? One of the best ways to do this is through the numerous vendors handing out free drinks. These beautiful people give out AWESOME goodies to weary drivers; products that can only be found on Ragbrai! What are these amazing products? Perhaps the greatest of all is the flavored water-like beverage Metromint™ which comes in a variety of flavors, such as chocolate mint and raspberry mint. Sporting virtually no flavor and an harsh aftertaste of something resembling mint, this is an essential supplement to any Ragbrai riders diet. Another in the beverage category is Activ© water, a blander alternative to actual water, which is distributed by overly eager young women throwing the multicolored bottles of liquid-lightning at riders.

As one travels through Colo, State Center, Albion, Montour (and the famous Rube’s Steakhouse), take note of the various opportunities that exist. Through the rolling hills, past the throngs of screaming children with garden hoses, one would be foolish to pass up the delicious, potentially nutritious options that abound all along the route. As these pictures vividly show, traveling on Ragbrai is not as much a trip across Iowa, as a trek through flavor country!
