It's The Same Weekend As The Bix

And you thought the Bix alone was a party weekend. Try this on for size. The Quad-City Times Bix 7 will be July 29th, which is the same day that RAGBRAI riders will wrap up their 500-mile journey across Iowa in Davenport. There will be thousands of people in Davenport for the festivities. Bix aside, according to RAGBRAI Davenport's website, they're expecting 30,000+ cyclists in the QC to dip their tires in the Mississippi River.
