By the time Ray Kinsella is urged to sell his farm in “Field of Dreams,” the baseball diamond he built has already cost him almost everything.

Terence Mann, a reclusive author, pleads with him not to give up. “America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers,” the character played by James Earl Jones tells Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner. “It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again.”

But baseball, Mann says, has marked the time. For the past 53 years in Iowa, RAGBRAI has marked the time, too.

This year, as the nation marks its 250th birthday, thousands joining the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa will come to the movie’s original site in Dyersville for the first time in its 38-year history.
