Another year of RAGBRAI, 450 miles this year across Iowa. Usually 15,000 riders from all over the world, another great experience riding with the
U S Air Force team. Longest day was 110 miles at 103 road temps. Then cool weather, short 50 mile days and great towns. Amish women baking pies, homemade ice cream, buckets of fresh picked sweet corn, local pastries, tractors, old cars and picturesque villages.
Two young men jogged the whole distance. Lots of disabled people. A farm pond with riders skinny dipping. Beer, lots of it. Young moms and dads towing children in bike trailers. Family groups riding together. The Catholic church doing a blessing of the bikes. Lance Armstrong riding fast and mostly ignored.
Is this heaven? No, its Iowa.
