This is RAPSody's seventh year, and we've learned that when people finish this challenging and beautiful ride, they want to relax and rejuvenate at the finish line before heading home. This year, in addition to ice cream bars, snacks, and free showers, we'll have live music to enjoy (guess we'll have to tone down the cowbells a bit...)
The band "Mostly Water" donated a concert to the Bicycle Alliance of Washington auction a few years ago, and now we'll all get to enjoy their roots-Americana. They play original songs along with gems from some of America's greatest songwriters, accompanied by mandolin, dobro, guitar, and upright bass. The band takes its name from a sentiment expressed by an eloquent alien in Star Trek: The Next Generation who described human beings as "ugly bags of mostly water."
Remind your riding friends that the early registration deadline (a.k.a. save $15) is July 27th.
