O/T RAGBRAI comes to town....

10 years ago

Goes from the Missouri to the Mississippi(across the state of Iowa)and the final sleep over is here
in Fairfield where I live.

I read today that 30,000 riders went through Des Moines.......BTW,this is no ordinary bike ride
as this large hoard knows how to have fun!

It has been compared to Marti Gras or Woodstock
on wheels.
Usually a crowd of nudist that go skinny dipping-
I read over a 100 this year-LOL

Fairfield Iowa is a town of 9500 or so but as the
day progresses tomorrow,that number will swell to
as much as 30,000 to 40,000,should be interesting!.

Pics(not mine)from years past.

I believe Lance rode the first 3 or 4 days the last 5 years..flying in from Paris one year.


OMG!

Photo was titled "Aftermath of RAGBRAI"

Some reading and more pics if interested...
