ragbrairoute2009There is perhaps NO other event across the fruited plains that says “Grassroots Movement” like RAGBRAI.  For those of you unfamiliar, RAGBRAI is the “Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa.”  Typically, 15k-20k of your closest friends ride, camp and eat their way across the great state of Iowa.  Well this year is different.  We won’t have Lance Armstrong again because he’s doing a slightly different ride this year called the Tour de France.

So in conjuntion with the launch of OperationRedState, we’re putting on Operation Red Ride to rally conservative citizens and Congresspeople to share ideas, build realtionships, and find new ways to connect with each other through technology.

Those of us on Operation Red Ride will be using the Twitter hashtag #ORS along with #RAGBRAI to show our support, organize, and communicate during the ride.  We’ll  also have a support van providing RED Gatorade for our grassroots troops at the Operation Red Ride headquarters in each overnight town.  Operation Red Ride jersey’s may be available as well if we get enough interest.

If you’d like to connect, please contact us directly at info@operationredstate.com.  Otherwise, until then, stay in the loop and subscribe to our email or RSS updates.

Thank you for supporting Operation Red Ride 2009.
