RAGBRAI...

We spent last week in Iowa so the husb and son could ride RAGBRAI. This year, the 37th Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, had a 442-mile route through the southern half of the state, with overnight stops in Council Bluffs, Red Oak, Greenfield, Indianola, Chariton, Ottumwa, Mt. Pleasant and Burlington.

The team hitched a ride on the Bud Bus from Coralville, IA to the beginning of the route in Council Bluffs. This was their ride...


And here is Team Spare Tire leaving together on the first day...


The team takes a break {Charlie is the one in back with the colored jersey}.


Now, if you are not familiar with this ride... or Iowa... you may be imagining this...

or this...


but most of the time, with 10,000 registered riders... it is more like this...
