RAGBRAI route

Life and facts do. I love Ames and hate all things U of I, but IC is running laps around every place in Iowa, college town or not.

Uhh. What? Des Moines is on a completely different level than Iowa City.

Am I reading this quote out of the Des Moines Register correctly?! This was in a recent RAGBRAI article.

There's still a chance to make a few more of those memories, though, as the ride passes through the center of Iowa's premier college town, Iowa City, and descends to the Mississippi at the scenic old river town of Muscatine.

Who gives the author the authority to make this statement?

I think I was laughing at the Muscatine part more. At least Iowa City has an argument.
