These are the travels and thoughts of the Flappy Birds in Team Flamingo. Team Flamingo is a RAGBRAI team riding across Iowa every summer. This blog began during the 2006 ride but will be used to chronicle our exploits in an ongoing basis.

Dr. Z (Z-Bird) Teaches Online Class on RAGBRAI
This was the first time that Dr. Z had ever taught a course during July. Due to its online nature, this course was one that allowed Dr. Z to engage in RAGBRAI as well as teach. Because of the class, Dr. Z rode a few half days so that he could keep up on the school work and provide his students prompt feedback.
This opportunity was made possible because of the wonderful assistance of Jennifer Sabourin, Director, Student Services, Housing and Retention at the Indian Hills Community College. In Ottumwa on Thursday night, Team Flamingo had arranged to stay in the residence halls. Dr. Z contacted the college to see if he would be able to use some of their facilities for the broadcast and Ms. Sabourin said that they would be able to connect him in a classroom in a nearby building, adjacent to the residence hall.
Everything went as planned and it was a wonderful class where 16 Instructional Technology Masters students were able to share the plans they had made for instigating change in their schools or institutions. A beneficial time was had by all. Thank you, Jennifer Sabourin and the helpful people at Indian Hills Community College.

RAGBRAI Time Again!!!!
Yes Indeed, Folks. Team Flamingo is preparing to engage in its 34th RAGBRAI.
Where will the route take us? That is still to be unveiled. In fact, it will be unveiled at 9:00 PM CST on Saturday, January 23.
Team Flamingo will hold the RAGBRAI Announcement Party in the Flamingo Lounge at the home of Leigh (Z-Bird) and Kathy (Artz Bird). Here are the specifics.
Place: 1304 Laverne Lane, Cedar Falls
Time: 7:00 - 10:00
Bring: Snacks, Munchies - stuff to eat while watching TV and hanging out with Flamingos. BYOB.
It will be fun. We will have a prize for whoever is most accurate in guessing the RAGBRAI route for this year. Last year it was Carolyn Hildebrand. What did you do, Carolyn - or is that a secret?
See you then. You can RSVP to klinkzeitz@gmail.com
