RAGBRAI t-minus one day

We left Nashville at six am yesterday and drove 13 hours to Hudson, IA.

My grandmother’s very full house served as an overnight location for us as well as my Mom, nephews, sister and sister’s fiancé who are all up here for a wedding shower.

This morning we got up and rode a quick 22 miles to stretch out the legs, ate a ribeye sandwich outside of Ransall’s Grocery, and hit the road for Council Bluffs.

A 450 mile Pub Crawl?

Apparently that’s the viewpoint of Team Good Beer, who recently published their Official 2009 RAGBRAI Bar Guide for this year’s ride. This document has the potential to dramatically increase the overall cost of a week of cycling in Iowa, as well as drastically reduce the amount of MillCoorWeiser consumed in sponsored beer tents during the week. Both of these outcomes I am ok with.

Pat Clements, one of my Harpeth Bike Club compatriots is riding this year’s RAGBRAI with Team Good Beer. Thanks for sending the link to the Bar Guide, Pat. I will be printing a few copies for James, Rob, and Jonathan.
