(Forest City, Iowa) -- If you are reading this blog, you must know .... Waldorf College has a team of faculty and staff riding Ragbrai this year!
We'll be leaving on July 19 to begin our journey across the great state of Iowa. The ride will begin on July 20 in Missouri Valley and it ends on July 26 in Le Claire. According to Ragbrai tradition, we'll dip our rear tire in the Missouri River and our front tire in the Mississippi River one week later!
Our "Catch the Fire" jerseys came in the mail the other day and Seth Miner, Waldorf's Ragbrai organizer, presented a team jersey to Waldorf President Richard Hanson.
We are excited to ride across Iowa and meet prospective students, current students and Waldorf alumni and friends.
Make sure you bookmark this page so you can continue to follow our adventures. We'll soon be posting pictures, video and plenty of interesting stories so check back everyday starting July 19 for new content.
You can also visit Ragbrai's official website for more information.

Hello,
I just found out that Waldorf has a team riding in Ragbrai. I know it is probably too late to join it, but what do I do to sign up for next year.. I am an alumni. May I join the team? Can I buy the jersey?
Please let me know. Thanks..
Hey Rujuta!
This year is basically an "experimental year" as we try to build our Waldorf team.
We will definitely let alumni know about the ride if we have a team again next year.
I am almost sure that we will have a team for 2009. This has been a great opportunity to spread Waldorf College's name and meet a lot of great people.
Please contact Seth Miner for info about buying a jersey (miners@waldorf.edu).
We do a better job of informing alumni next year and hopefully Team Waldorf will continue to grow!
Best wishes,
Josh
