Re: [RBW] RAGBRAI 2023 50th Anniversary Ride

Saw that Franklin Frames bike too. So slick! And all of those Rivs inspired 
me to buy a Roadini!

 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.

I saw all of the above plus a custom touring bike from Franklin Frames,
which the internet tells me is a now-defunct framebuilder from Ohio. 26"
wheels, Rene Herse 1x, SRAM AXS shifting. A really cool bike.

[Lyman Labry]

I rode for the first time on my Homer.  I recall seeing a Saluki, Homers,
 an Atlantis, a couple of Hillbornes, a Heron, a Rambouillet, and a Frank
Gomez (I think it was). I met a gentleman mid-week who recently retired
from Waterford. Fun week.

[RBW] RAGBRAI 2023 50th Anniversary Ride

[R. Alexis]

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.
