Sorry followers of the blog, but tent city (the camping grounds on Ragbrai) has not been kind to our phones.
Brief Recap:
Day Zero- bus breaks down twice. People quit before it starts and we get in at 4:15am.
Day One- three hours of sleep but a great ride.
Major happenings since then:
I got heatstroke and dehydration. Tried to ride it off but ended up having to sag a day to get back to square.
Met a guy riding across the country to raise money for pancreatic cancer. He lost his best friend after taking care of him for a long time. His website is Mona rides or something like that. Google him, support his cause.
Have met people that have read the blog, they have all been really cool.
It has been hot. Like 120 with heat index hot.
It has been windy. Like 20 miles per hour headwind.
Big storm last night. We were betting on which tent would blow over. We watched the madness from a pavilion in tent city.
We rode 98 miles and just got in. I'll be sure to report more info tomorrow as we'll have a late start and we have a host house with our friends Nolan and Melissa Determan.
Tomorrow is supposedly adding 5,000 to 10,000 more riders due to the short day and star at a big city. We'll see.
More tomorrow, hopefully!
Until then,
KRS
