Images of RAGBRAI


Typical Iowa countryside - fields of corn and soybean planted in long neat rowsFarmhouses dotted along the road selling water and Gatorade to tired and thirsty riders. Some had waterslides and kiddy pools allowing riders to strip down to their speedos and show off their bike tan (not a good look).

Roadside vendors selling sweet corn (above) and pork chop's (below)


Lunch stop - hungry riders as far as the eye can see. What's on offer? I tried the grilled chicken burger, turkey burger, cheesburger, beef brisket burger - putting meat in a bun was the typical lunchtime fare. Items not sampled: deep fryed zucchini, chocolate dipped cheescake, armadillo eggs (hard boiled eggs crumbed and deep fried).
