RAGBRAI

Posted byknitterpat21Posted inUncategorized

After our bike ride across the USA last summer we were looking for a new adventure. This year we are attempting a ride across……Iowa. RAGBRAI is a week long ride from east to west in Iowa. Unlike last year we have a luggage service to carry our gear. Also unlike last year we will be joined by over 10,000 other cyclists.

Heading to the start of RAGBRAI (Bike across IOWA) this is a weeklong adventure. We will ride approximately 460 miles.

Mark with David a former co-worker of Pat’s at AT&T. This is David’s 3rd RAGBRAI so we are looking for his guidance.
Pat’s bike firmly mounted on top
Crossed over the Mississippi River into Iowa
Arrived in Lansing Iowa where we drop car, duffels and catch bus. We are using charter service called Pork Bellies that carry our luggage and set up our tent daily! so when we saw this van we knew we were in the right place.
Settled in for 5.5 hour bus ride to start town.

Beautiful scenery along river

Shelly and Jens from Oregon are also joining us.
Let the new adventure begin!

  12. Great to hear that you will be with a pack of people. Will you be traveling through Fairfield, Iowa? That is where Steve and family live and the RAGBRAI has stayed at their church overnight in the past. Take care and praying for good weather this week. Judy ________________________________
