A short ride (only 472 miles) across Iowa from Sioux City to Dubuque with a small select group of about 10,000, give or take 15,000. I rode with the Quad Cities Bike Club (QCBC).
RAGBRAI is put on by the Des Moines Register, and stands for Register Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa.
Iowa is *NOT* flat....
C'est Moi!
