Every year for the last 40, thousands (20,000 est this year) gather in
western Iowa to ride their bikes from the Missouri river to the
Mississippi river in one week 60-70miles a day. . They ride everything
from unicycles to tandem tricycles. They are all ages, sizes, and both
sexes (more men than women) It is a different route each year and many
ride year after year. Some of them start the ride by biking the route
from east to west and then joining the others for the return. They eat a
lot of carbs drink lots of beer and profess to have a great time. Many
find out that Iowa is not as flat as they had heard.
I rode a very short way with them. BTW my brother dubbed the ride Tour
de farms many years ago and made a tidy sum for many years selling
T-shirts on the ride with the slogan and original artwork by his wife.
This year they stopped in my hometown and here is small gallery of their
stop. Some Pentax; some not. C&C as always.
