Day 31 DesMoines to Tama/Toledo
Day 31 DesMoines to Tama/Toledo day 5 of Ragbrai., 93 miles. I left with Mike about 6. Riding out of DesMoines there were some killer hills. The first through towns were really boring with not a lot of food vendors. I thought I would move on to Newton, but again nothing I ended up with a couple breakfast burritos from McDonald's. The ride had lots of hills with 4125 feet of climbing and it was very Hot. The route took me on gravel for about 2 miles. We are tenting at our hosts tonight, kind of hot to sleep outside.We are close enough to get to the concert venue. Foghat was really good
I bet you sleep well once you fall asleep! Audrey
ReplyDeleteWhere was the concert...and did they plan that just for the riders?
ReplyDeleteFoghat...heck yeah
I send you “cooling meditations”’ to ponder while pedaling. Lord knows I would have already died in this year’s heat 🥵 I heard Lynard Skynard is playing at some point? So weird the towns didn’t have more food vendors in that neck of the woods. Eating at McDonalds is almost sacrilegious on RAGBRAI but a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do….
ReplyDelete"Killer hills" in IOWA? Huh? 😁
