    Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***

    Good luck to you man. I think for all of us the time comes where we have to change our habits. I try to eat fairly healthy (but not on a diet) and stay fairly active (but not on a consistent workout schedule). I'm 5'10" and about 215-220, get much above that and it's time to cut back on the beer...

    Relevant here, farmer suicides are on the rise because of how difficult it is to make it. I know this first-hand, unfortunately. If people who have been doing it their whole lives have so much trouble that leaving their entire life, friends, and family behind seems like a viable option, then it...

    Friday OT #1 - I'm Head of the Class, I'm Popular

    Nebraska is not a boring state to drive through. You just have to do it some place other than I-80, which was designed specifically to be fast (following flat Platte River valley, thus boring) so you didn't ***** about it taking too long.

    Iowa's love affair with gas station pizza

    Might be good timing for Casey's to become an official sponsor of the "Iowa Ride". I swear every one I ever saw on RAGBRAI made more money in a day than they normally do in a month. Disclosure: I am a stockholder in Casey's General Store

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    I'm gonna go ahead and assume this was a keystroke error.

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    I always joke that you don't need a bike to do RAGBRAI, you just need to be fun and have a friend with a bus. And there's a lot of truth to that. Our group has people that ride hard, people that party hard, and is mostly people that do both at the same time. And everyone treats it like a...

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    Respectfully disagree, this is about much more than RAGBRAI. Right now you have a dozen Democrats in Iowa 24/7, trying to get on a ballot. This issue really boils down to 1st Amendment rights, political correctness, media relations ("fake" or not), forgiveness, doing the right thing, and "Iowa...

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    All of this makes sense. Bold part is interesting. I ride with what is essentially a self-supported pirate team. And while we make jokes about "The RAGBRAI Race" and avoiding the masses, I don't think the infrastructure (e.g. vendors, entertainment, law enforcement) would be there for separate...

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    How much of this was influenced by the "northern route" pre-announcement? :)

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    They've said ALL proceeds will go to Iowa charities, FWIW.

    RAGBRAI Organizers Split from Register

    I think this is the most likely outcome. They were on record for wanting the Carson King controversy die down. If the Rag tries to continue RAGBRAI, it puts them smack in the middle of controversy.

    Synder joining Nitty Lions RTC

    Big fan of Kyven, but both Cox and Snyder are at a much higher level right now. I would be absolutely shocked if Kyven beat either of them, at this point in time.

    Friday OT #2 - The Nines

    I hear the word Vegas and all I can think of is a drunk bridesmaid in a bachelorette party, awkwardly walking in heels, with a fruity drink in hand drinking out of a penis straw, talking really loud and crying, with mascara running down her face. Probably saying she hates drama. That exact...

    Friday OT #2 - The Nines

    Top Tier: New Orleans - as others have stated, the music, the food, the culture, is uniquely it's own thing unlike anything in the country, but bring Gold Bond and an extra wallet Chicago - lived there for a year after undergrad, great city, I would argue the only truly Midwestern "big city", so...

    Iowa's president seems to threaten future of Cy-Hawk game

    As long as JP gets on the horn and says this was Iowa's decision, not ours, I'm fine with leaving that the narrative. This whole story is ridiculous. As many have stated before, if these accusations are true, they shouldn't have happened and people should be held accountable. But thus far it...

    Gary Barta everybody

    Funny to me that these two messages were in order. Barta, apparently also, went to social media first before going to the police. At least as far as we know. Also stupid, if true.
