Day 28 Sioux City to Storm Lake, Day 29 Storm Lake to Carroll
Day 28 Sioux City to Storm Lake 66 miles. First day on Ragbrai, First 10 miles was nerve racking with al the people learning to ride in the mass. Cleared up a little after the first through town. Most of the riders in my group leave early, so by the time I roll out at 7 I'm the last one. Plenty of people to keep me company. I chatted with people along the way. I got to the host families house about two. What a beautiful home close to Storm Lake. They made us a great dinner of pulled pork sandwiches, Mac & cheese, and baked beans.
Day 29 Storm Lake to Carroll 58 miles. Our host family sent us off with a breakfast pizza. A lot flatter ride then yesterday. In Lake View I found a wonderful coffee shop for my morning Mocha. I had a great chat with James from Northern CA. He has been on many cycling adventures including riding the Continental Divide trail. In Breda I had a yummy steak and egg sandwich and a piece of Strawberry/rhubarb pie. Ragbrai is famous for their pie. I was glad to be done by 2 o'clock as it got really hot. Our host family once again have a beautiful home with a pool. They are also feeding us dinner. Oh, we all are sleeping in their house tonight.
Wow! Your meals sound delicious! Audrey
ReplyDeleteWow...Mow That's the kind of Roughing it that I could deal with.........unless it's Not riding a bike and it's a Really nice all inclusive Resort on a beautiful beach right outside 🤔😎
ReplyDeleteDo you suppose your accommodations are so fabulous due to the fact you’re riding with St Ambrose group vs the Mothership? Just curious if any of these hosts are alumni?! Geez I wish I could be there and we could roll out together at our usual 7:00 start. Did you do a repeat visit to the auditorium where Buddy Holly and Co played? Have some pie for me please - berry if you can find it ~
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you made it to Iowa in time! It sounds like you are having a great time, even with the masses of humanity! All my love!
