The FOGBEES organized a group to participate in the 2014 Registers Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa, known as the RAGBRAI. This ride is a 7-day, 500 mile camping tour. It is a cyclists “bucket list” ride. The ride boasts of not only being the largest organized ride in the US, but in the world.
Their ride was on July 20 through July 26 2014. Ther group left Hendersonville on July 18 and traveled to Eastern Iowa. On July 19, it took a bus to the west where the ride began on the 20'th. At the end of the ride the group returned to Hendersonville on Monday July 27.
Doug Depew registered the FOGBEE group. There were very specific registration requirements. Everyone had to follow the rules specifically to stay in the Lottery for a group spot. The main rule applies to group registration,
If one registered as an individual, it can disqualify both the individual and the group from riding. So if anyone plans on riding with the FOGBEEs, they had to contact Doug for specific instructions, or attend his organizational meeting.
Doug had an initial information and organization meeting at his house in January. Shan Boone, who had ridden in the ride several times, discussed his experiences and showed a couple of videos.
The discussion entailed registration, cost, transportation, and arrangements for camping gear with Porkbelly Ventures. The FOGBEE group registered on February 14'th, when group registration closed.
