The morning fog was eerie at times. Could only see taillights of the bikes ahead even after the sunrise. Thank you for the memories. The nice couple on an awesome bike.
I am with Lori....I thought Friday was tougher than Thursday.....not say say Thursday was easy.....it was ..just so hot..for this New Englander ! Nice that you both kept smiling !
This was a tough day, but Friday is the one that got to me on those last hills going in to Coralville. it was just so HOT ! Nice video. This 66 year old managed not to walk any hills either. I stoppped for pie to keep me going on this day.
I have a verse about day 5 in the recap poem I wrote! We left early also…beat the heat Day 5 we had dreaded all of the week, With nearly a mile of climb. We knew we had to beat the heat, So we left at the five AM time. The hills, the hills, they mocked us all day, But with exertion we were able to pass. Except for the hill right out of Colfax That one just flat kicked my ass! But as Tama did near, the route flattened out “Can’t leave ninety on the table,” said I. So we hatched a wild and crazy idea Let’s add ten and bag a century ride!
All those small towns you pass thru, its their "super bowl sunday" for the year. After all the riders towards the end of the line are gone, the residence must have an empty feeling knowing the last of the riders means its over till the next time they may get chosen to be part of the next RAGBRAI. The people of Iowa are genuine good people.
Seems like I missed some things with the early starts but sure didn't regret getting off the bike each day. My saddle sore was getting bad and the hand was going numb.i could hear how tired you were when you said "here is what lunch is today ....sandwhiches breakfast of champions". Lol. This was a tough a day. Be well.
@@searay7410 so sorry were not able to make it this year. We retired and moved to Florida last month. Sure going to miss this coming week. Be safe and keep spinning and moving!

I 100% agree with you.

It was a tough ride.
Yup. Was a tough one. Tomorrow even hotter if I remember correctly.
Day 5 was tough on me and day 6 was tough on Lori.
Looks like you both persevered. Still loved it. Planning when I can do it again. @@terrymackel2907
Grinnell is where I lost my wallet but luckily I got it back at the end of the ride
Lucky you!!!
How about 2024
