A dead tree near the center of Central Park has been partially painted to serve as an autograph structure for RAGBRAI riders who will arrive Friday. Brightly colored Sharpie markers will hang from the tree so riders can sign the tree. Josie Hannes, who spearheaded decorating efforts for RAGBRAI, said local artists and volunteers spent more than 500 man hours preparing for the festivities.
