Day 30 Carroll to Ames day 3 of Ragbrai Day 31 Ames to DesMoines
Day 30 Carroll to Ames 88 miles. I rolled out at 6:30 to try to beat some of the heat. The road was crowded until I blew past the first through town. Then it thinned out. I supported the Methodist church in Jefferson buying one of their breakfast burritos. I fought head winds most of the day. Lunch stop was Mr Pork Chop while I listened to a great brass band. I hand to make my Lemonade stand stop.We stayed with my friend since kindergarten, Travis and his wife Linda. Loved petting their golden Mollie but had to look from a distance at their other golden Chief. Lisa, another of my long-time friends since kindergarten dropped by and we had a great chat. Her husband Marty and Lisa have participated in lots of Ragbrai's. It was great to see old friends, but then it was time for bed.
Great pictures!

ReplyDeleteI’ve been watching the weather as you roll across the state - looks like it’s warm enough🥵 Any big lightning storms at night? Are you factoring in a Beekman’s ice cream stop? Very cool to be riding with friends you e known since kindergarten
ReplyDeleteThe last good lightning storm was in South Dakota. There's always room for Beekmans
