Meet the team

	Angie Angie is not only the newest of the Chupacabras but also the most high maintenance of the bunch. Angie is a veteran of one RAGBRAI and several charity rides in the Indianapolis area. When not spending time on her bike Angie can be found in an air conditioned room watching television and listening to country music.
	Brad Brad is a veteran of 14 RAGBRAIs, 1 RAIN, a Triple Bypass, and dozens of bike rides throughout Central Indiana. In his spare time Brad can be found selling real estate in the Indianapolis area.
	Ethan Despite being only 11 Ethan is a veteran of 9 bike rides across Iowa. As a toddler he mastered the art of sitting quietly in a buggy while being pulled across Iowa. Eventually he graduated to a tandem and now powers himself across Iowa. Ethan loves all sports, is ambivalent towards school, and wishes his dad would let him play more video games. Ethan rides a 2010 Trek 1.1.
	Geri When Geri crosses Iowa for the first time this summer it'll be something she can cross off her bucket list along with summiting all the 14s in Colorado and getting a tattoo. A veteran of 6 Ride the Rockies, Geri will trek across Iowa even though it's too flat and too humid for her liking. When not biking, Geri can be found in the bow of a canoe in the BWCAW or on a golf course. Geri rides a 2010 Scott CR1 Pro.
	Gerry and Judy A good team is only as good as the support they receive and Los Chupacabras have a great support team. Gerry is a veteran of a dozen RAGBRAIs and has mastered the science of getting gear from one small Iowa town to another in a timely manner. When not hauling bicyclists across Iowa Gerry plays way too many game of Solitaire on his computer and follows the University of Northern Iowa athletic teams. Judy decided to tag along because she heard so many great stories about the people her husband met every year and the fabulous onion rings he'd sample in every overnight town. In the beginning she loved watching the teams roll into town and crazy outfits they wear. Now there are days she wishes she had never agreed to support the group and tires of Hy-Vee breakfasts and hauling bags of ice after three days.
	Mark The oldest and nicest of the group, Mark is a veteran of 16 RAGBRAIs and several Hilly Hundreds in Southern Indiana. Mark is also the defacto logistics planner for the group and spends most of his trip trying to keep all the riders happy which is usually fruitless. In his spare time Mark follows the Northern Iowa Panthers and Indianapolis Colts. Mark rides a 2009 Specialized Tarmac.
	Paul After years of listening to RAGBRAI stories Paul finally joined the group and is now a veteran of six RAGBRAIs and one Hotter-N-Hell 100. Paul also spends lots of time riding in Kansas which makes him the perfect rider to hide behind on windy days. It should be noted that if you do opt to draft behind Paul you should bring your own map because he's always getting lost. Paul rides a 2008 Fuji Roubaix without a Garmin computer.
	John John is a veteran of 16 RAGBRAIs, a RAIN, a Triple Bypass and a Hotter-N-Hell 100 as well as dozens of charity rides around Central Texas. In his spare time John can be found in local bike shops drooling over bikes he'd rather be riding. John mostly rides a 2009 Cannondale Synapse but when one of his family wants to ride with him they ride their 2011 DaVinci in2ition Tandem.
	Sharon Sharon once swore she'd never spend her vacation riding her bike across Iowa. Seven RAGBRAIs later Sharon is a pro at finding bathrooms with running water and avoiding lines to buy any food on a stick. Sharon is the hospitality queen of the group and treats the group and host families to a daily spread of homemade baked goods. Sharon can most often be found riding her 2006 Iris Blue Trek 5.0 WSD. On hilly days she can be found on the back of her Burley Samba.
	Tyler The newest of the Chupacabras, Tyler decided to start biking to lose weight for his recent wedding. While Tyler has yet to ride across Iowa, he has ridden in several charity rides in Central Texas. Now that he's married, Tyler spends most of his time playing video games and watching his beloved Iowa Hawkeyes and Green Bay Packers. Tyler rides a black and yellow 2010 Specialized Allez Comp.
