I'll add text later. But this gives you a snapshot of today's RAGBRAI ride.
 |
| Radar at 4:42 a.m. Earlier, the cells to the west were all connected into one big storm system in a crescent around Omaha/Council Bluffs. The break allowed us to stay dry that morning. |
 |
A beautiful dawn break to start RAGBRAI with.
|
 |
| Early riders at the official dip in site. This was a couple miles from camp. |
 |
| Officially starting my RAGBRAI with the dipping of my back tire in the Missouri River. |
 |
| Riders rolling out of Council Bluffs to start the 406.6 mile trek to Ft Madison. |
 |
| RAGBRAI breakfast - sausage, potato, egg, cheese, salsa, sour cream on the left and maple nut french toast with strawberries and cream on the right. |
 |
| CONGRATS to the happy couple! (I actually saw another recently married couple later in the week.) |
 |
Things get a little corny on RAGBRAI.
|
 |
The Welcome to Shelby Sign.
|
 |
Team COW. Yes, that is an ear tag (#122) attached to the ear on her helmet. Yes, there were more than a few members of Team Cow.
|
 |
Tennant, IA. Last stop before Harlan.
|
 |
| Beekman's Ice Cream - a staple and "must have" of RAGBRAI. This is made fresh daily using these single-cylinder engines to turn the mixer. You can see the small glass "tank" above the motor. Great ice cream. Almost worth the $6.00 for a cup of it. |
