Standing in the bathroom

Sunrise at the UNI-dome


Bob and Dort Kampman with Mary and Steve


The only available location for the bikers to update your blogger was from the quiet of the restroom apparently. Details may be lost in translation. They are camped out in the University of Northern Iowa (Kurt Warner fans anyone?) dome this evening and are having the nightly concert there, tonight's edition features Blues Traveler along with Lance Armstrong (you may know him from such films as Dodgeball) who will also be speaking to the lowly crew of casual bikers.

The weather has been dry for Wednesday's ride and they arrived at the site quite early in the afternoon. Another Dutch Bingo bullseye was hit today as they ran into Bob and Dort Kampman on Wednesday, who apparently were involved with a trip they took some 30 years ago, in the B.C. era of their marriage. The folks along with the Moreaus, Wickstras, and Bootes took a week long trip with the Kampmans back in the 70's, and their son is apparently a current player for the Green Bay Packers. As a true Dutch Bingo champion, Mother is able to easily reach back into her 20's to remember previous contacts.

Father's sore spot from Sunday is still festering, so hopefully the end of the week will be coming without further incident, at least during the riding portion.
