July 23, 2011 – Pre-Ragbrai Events

Today, we headed down to Glenwood. There will be no dipping tires in the Missouri River with the recent flooding of the river. When we arrived, it was incredibly humid – a humid I hadn’t experienced in a long time. The type of humid that can only mean a big storm is coming (must come). We headed down to the bike expo only to have to seek shelter in the high school as the storm moved in and then cooled things off. After eating at the high school, we headed back to our host’s home and prepared for the upcoming day. We put our hats on our helmets and got our bikes prepared. We should be able to see each other in the distance as we ride. We are a little worried about what they will do to our aerodynamics and what will happen if it rains - oh well. The hats at least need to make it 2 days so Laura can see them when we ride into Carroll. The Fishcious Cyclers are set!
