These are my favorite photos from my bike ride across Iowa a few weeks ago, called Ragbrai. I completed the ride weeks ago, but I started a new job soon after the ride. That kept me busy, so I just went through my pictures yesterday.
Yes, he rode this bike, sometimes over 50 miles.
A view from my handlebar.
We went through Amish country. All these pies are home-made and unbelievably delicious.
My favorite cycling breakfast: Strawberry-rhubarb Amish pie, smotheed in homemade ice cream, with a cupe of coffe.
Read the yellow sign.
This picture is one of my all-time favorites. It shows a lot. First, find the yellow ball on the left. Then, take a close look at who threw it. In my time, girls didn’t dunk guys, but I love seeing it now, especially from these inner-city kids.
I had to ride my folder because I there wasn’t space for my full-size bike.
Thanks for sharing the sights Steven!
You’re welcome. And if you ever want to experience the wonders of Ragbrai, I’d thoroughly enjoy joining you. And since you have peeps in Minnesota, you could easily stop by and see them. Tempted? 🙂
Love the pictures, Steven. Diane and I were just down in Iowa ourselves visiting my son.
Hi Rick,
Good hearing from you! And sorry it’s taken me a while to reply. My new job is taking more time than I expected.
Hope you had a great trip to Iowa!
Steven
Looks like yet another GREAT adventure. Thanks for keeping me in the loop. Looking forward to the day when you and I are able to actually kick back, relax, and shoot the breeze in person. But until then… safe cycling! And please keep me posted of your next adventure. – Karl
PS. Just got back after moving Ernest to WSU in Pullman. Classes start Monday. And if you’re ever watching a Cougars football game, be sure to look at the trumpet section of the Pep/Marching Band because he’ll be playing. 🙂
