Today's update had mention of a sore (Father's), not sure if it bled or not but it was good enough to allow my theme for headings to continue. Your faithful blogger failed to collect all the facts yesterday and my assumption that riding occurred was mistaken. Saturday was setup day as they prepared with their sag group, but no bike work began until Sunday. The mileage estimate for today was 76 miles. Apparently there was an option to extend Monday's ride to a full 100 miles, but our intrepid duo declined this option so Monday will be a similar length.
Not satisfied to rest on the laurels of her Dutch Bingo dominance, Mother has extended herself into African Bingo. They met a fellow rider today who has relocated to Iowa from Kenya in the last year. For those scoring at home, this is the same nation to which the tandem last year hauled a small IT department worth of hardware to outfit a small school. We'll grade this as a "pretty close" pending any further information that he is attending Dordt or Hope in the fall. Apparently food is plentiful all along the route (those locals who know they are along the route are embracing the profit opportunity) and it is sounding like I will need to join in a future edition of the ride to meet some of their fellow riders who turn the Ragbrai into their own rolling bar.
Anyway, the work week beckons, you stay classy Iowa.
