RBW List Members, I had a chance to ride the first day of RAGBRAI late last month. Things aligned that I had that weekend off and then discovered the first day of RAGBRAI was that Sunday and that it was the 50th anniversary of the ride. Found out that late Friday and thought about it. After thinking of doing a possible century that Saturday and not doing it I decided to jump in and do the first day of RAGBRAI that Sunday and also do a century by turning around at the second to last stop and going back. By my calculations doing so would have put me at the century mark. First day was 71 miles to the end city.
I was on the Rivendell Mountain. Met some list RBW/iBOB members along the way. Names escape me. There was three of them, I think all from the Chicago area. One riding a 650B converted Trek stating he had just gotten an Appaloosa earlier in the week, another on a Sam Hillborne and the other on a Bridgestone RB-T or T 1000. I fell short of my goal. In doubling back I calculated I got to 64 miles. Should have just rode to the end and hitched a ride back. Still enjoyed doing the ride. If I do it again will definitely be more prepared.
