Bicyclists on The Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa love to dream up wild, kooky team names that often are as loud and colorful as their Spandex duds.
Real RAGBRAI crews such as “Butt Ice” and “Road Kill” make that much plain.
To get everybody in the mood for the Jan. 24 announcement of this year’s RAGBRAI overnight towns we wanted to help you brainstorm even more names.
Go to http://ift.tt/1FmNMbN play our new “What’s your RAGBRAI team name?” game – a way to generate your very own name based on your first initial and your date of birth.
The “Chain Lube Guzzlers” and the “Deep-fried Grannies” (not real teams) will thank you.
