Hi folks,   I am really looking forward to riding with all of you on Ragbrai.  I had a question about bike security at night. Do you lock the bikes up in one place,  or is everyone kind of on their own? I ask because I understand that bike theft is a problem on the ride,  and I would like to bring my favorite bike,  but if it is a situation where I am going to have to always keep an eye on it and worry about the bike the whole time,  then I would just as soon bring something else that I won't care too much about if it is stolen or damaged,  etc. 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
