My son and I had a great time on Ragbrai this year. Last year I did it by myself so it was fun to have DS along!
Weather was very nice -mostly in the 80's after last year's 100's.
The day before Des Moines stop it was estimated to have 35,000 bikers on the road.
Ragbrai is indeed a spectacle, to see and experience.
Milage was much lower than last year, so I enjoyed Iowa hills, corn, soybeans, food, bicyclists and Iowa folks more than ever.
Amazing how that many bicyclist can coexist on one road.
Here is a handful of my pictures:
