Bill,
RAGBRAI is a lot of fun. Taking showers in a car wash is always an interesting experience. Since you are using an RV rather than an old school bus, people may think that you are first-timers. What's the age range of your group?

Bill, I do hope you'll tell the tale. And why RAGBRAI?

This was my first RAGBRAI. Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. The ages ranged from 20 something to 60 something. One of our group easily rode at 25 MPH. His normal routine was to finish the mileage for the day and double back and meet at the lunch city.

The water on the RV wasn't working so we made do with hose showers and KYBO'S.

I had a great time. My best time was on the last day when I rode 62 miles in 4 hours. Normally we all took a more leisurely pace because it isn't a race and there is a lot to see along the way.

Others on the ride posted pictures on Dropbox. I'm still working on it.

Nice! Had some friends in Illinois do the ride last week. Sounded like fun.

What was the name of, and the cohesion of, your team?

Just a piece here and there between pork chops and ice cream. I didn't lose even one pound.

Ah yes, Mr. Pork Chop. That guy is a RAGBRAI and Iowa legend.

Jennie & I have always said that in Iowa, they keep the best pork for themselves, and send the rest out of state...
