2007 Team Knight Riders

The Wartburg College Knight Riders will cycle on the Register’s Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) from July 20-26, 2008. Approximately 29 alumni, parents, current students, and friends of the college are part of this year’s Knight Riders team.

The team will leave from Waverly on July 19 for Missouri Valley, the first overnight town. The route also includes Harlan, Jefferson, Ames, Tama/Toledo, North Liberty, Tipton and Le Claire. The Knight Riders would like to thank in advance the many Wartburg alums, parents, and friends of the college that are opening their homes and backyards for the team to stay throughout the week. Thank you!
