The Driver and Crew Apply within - be famous! Drive Buszilla. Be loved by all Brewhawgs. Be featured in a DMR interview. Really.

Jeff 'Mullah' Wilford of Oskaloosa. Member of the BEER. One of the co-founders of BrewHAHA. Anti-hyphen. Very big on alias's. Made the career leap from being a reporter to owning a bike shop - Bobzillas's in Oskaloosa!

Tina 'Mama Doc' Wilford also of Oskaloosa. Married to Mullah. Once - many moons ago, found a way to get out of riding Ragbrai by breaking her foot. More recently, she could be known as the Bionic Mama doc as she rode ragbrai with a titanium plate installed a month after breaking her clavicle (while riding with Team goldbond.)

Pam 'Lark' White from Oskaloosa, IA. BEER Member. That's Lark as in Prairie Larkspur - and she is some kind of wildflower.

George 'Herm' Herman of Solon, IA. Original Brewhawg. got sick of it just being himself and Mullah so was happy when the team got bigger.

Donna 'Crash' Herman of Solon, IA. The nickname is self-explanatory - though not her fault.

Ross 'Squirt' of Colorado.

'Brooklyn Tony' From Brooklyn - yes the one in New York. Papa found him hanging around a town square in Iowa with his bike and brought him in. Like Pootdaddy likes to pose with animals.

Dave 'Huffy' Nissen from Grayslake, Il. Beer Member and keeper of the Bar Guide. Doesn't actually ride a Huffy - but considers it great training.

Dave 'Papa T' Taylor from Vernon Hills, Il. Say Hi to the Papa when you go by. The inspirational leader, Papa was the first to admit to training on an actual bike. Rode XXIX with a truss - to convince his broken bone in his shoulder that he could still ride.

Mike 'Pootdaddy' Taylor from Antioch, Il. Rode first Ragbrai in 2000. Was only team member who was able to crash BEFORE the start while on the way to dip his tires.

Neal 'Stuck' Osler from Missouri (no points for guessing. Knew PapaT but decided to join the team anyway.

Dave 'The Bullet' from Berthoud, Colorado. Ask him for his pictures riding with Lance.

Jenny 'Happy' from Romeoville, IL.

Diana 'Bike-a-lounger' Cooper Rockton, IL. Burley recumbent, spoiled water aerobics instructor.In the hard cover "River to River" book. Ask for an autograph. She's been known as the Christmas lady, the holiday lady, and even the pajama girl, complete with bunny slippers. The idea was prompted by one too many people asking me how she kept from falling asleep because the 'Bent is way too comfortable. Hey, wearing pjs is comfy, and why waste time getting dressed in the morning.

'Cricket' from Eden Prairie, MN.

Matt 'Chewie' Taylor from Salem, WI. First Ragbrai in 2007.

Mike 'Turtle' Long of Oskaloosa. He's slow - but he'll get there. Wrecked something in his leg on XXIX and has been complaining about it every mile of Ragbrai since. Likes to go trapping and caught a squirrel once.

Nick 'Action' Taylor Yoda's little brother, PapaT's grandkid, and Pootdaddys anchor. This kid follows Pootdaddy everywhere!

'Muley' of Houston, TX

Matt 'Weezy' Whicker of Westfield, IN

ALUMNI

Greg 'Ass-Hat/Ass-Captain/Ass-Trumpet' Nuelle from Missouri. Go ahead and ask him - he'll tell. If not Stuck sure will.

Clint 'Perv' Osler from Illinois. His wife came up with the nickname. Now he has a whole year to respond in kind.

Beth Osler Also from Illinois.

Glenn 'Woody' Burns from The Bronx, NY. If you hang with this guy long enough you will end up on the internet somnwhere.

Susan 'Froglady' from Kansas City, Missouri.

Zachary 'Yoda' Taylor from Antioch, Il. Was youngest rider on team. Rode behind Pootdaddy. If he hasn't talked to you then you missed your chance. He is ahead of us now on point. Miss you Yoda. See you down the road. 1998-2007.

Karen 'Carrots' Taylor from Antioch, Il. Got her nickname during a shouting match with Pootdaddy over the salad bar at Old Country Buffet

Bob 'BuddhaBob' Goodfriend of Chicago. Spends all year training for Ragbrai - the part at night.

'Pink Squirrel' Long of Oskaloosa, IA. What happens when a Turtle and a Squirrel get together for a little private time?

Bob 'Bobzilla' Wilford Always provided the first night sleepover, beer, motivation, etc. for the team. Also managed to build out Buszilla even with Huffys interference -errr help. Riding with Yoda now- miss you a lot!

Sue 'Queen B' Wilford from Oskaloosa, IA. BrewHAHA co-founder and keeper of the Asswhipping stick.

Darin 'D-Man' Grimm of Bondurant, IA Darren earned the Ernest Borgnine moniker because disaster always follows. Like crashing on gravel. Like crashing into some local kid on his bike. Like breaking the seatpost on his bike and being forced to ride standing up. Darren has done some good things too, arranging free shirtwear as well as free beer for the team at at a real Irish Bar!

'DOC' Come Back Doc - we miss you!

Mike Hildebrand Driver Extraordinaire

Dixie Hildebrand Keeper of the Boys. Great at keeping Mike in Check too.

Mishele 'The Forgotton One' DeGeest Currently residing in Omaha - ha , NE. Due to an oversight lasting over 6 months - Mishele was omitted from this roster. Humble apologies from us all.

Kam 'Kam-I-Am' Gupta Arlington Heights, Il. Pal and cohort of PapaT. Team driver and Part-time rider.

Daylene Ransom of Cedar Falls. She will miss seeing Dave N in the camper John. In her defense someone else opened the door - she just screamed real loud. Hmmmm.

Gene 'Chief' Murphy of Burlington, IA. All around team support person - forces team members to go along with him to the bars - so that we can make sure he gets home.

Guy 'Moo Goo Guy' Almon from Oskaloosa, IA. Left his wallet at a 'lemonade stand' or so he claims. I think is was some other estabishment and he wanted thirds. That would explain why PapaT was so anxious to help. Can be found wrenching at Bobzillas bikes

Mary 'MEP' Ellen Pothoven from Oskaloosa as well. Our kind of member - signed up for the big ride and THEN bought a bike.

Brian 'Ozzy' Nissen from Cedar Falls, IA. Left for the dustier pastures of GoldBond Powder to start team of the same name(see homepage). If you are a bat, stay away - he has had more than one encounter.

Steve 'Waldo' Boesen From Minnesota. Lost from this team along with Ozzy as well.

Mit Williams P>Judy Williams The somebody who married Mit.
