Ragbrai - Day 1 - for us at least

Day 1 is under our belt. We headed out of our friends parents house in Elk Run (Waterloo) at about 7:30AM on bike with about a 15 mile ride to get to the RAGBRAI start. Total miles today were about 78. We averaged 14.7 mph all day...a stellar day. I'm uploading pictures soon and I must say that we all did very well. We'll head out tomorrow and crank out another great day.

Highlights include rib eye sandwiches, great gyros, smoothies in the middle of corn fields, and a few adult beverages. Tomorrow, we're on "mission imPIEssible. Rhubard-Strawberry for me please.

Until tomorrow. Ride safe.
