The Ragby elders have spoken, and decided... This was the best Ragby ever. Hung out with many short bus folks, some trouser mice, BTY, KP5000, Pirates, ran with the bulls, shit... this week was awesome.
Started the 43 hour on the bike/10 day journey at the Orphanage in Des Moines. KP5000, Kim, and I did a wet 90 into Harlan... I mean Atlantic, where we munched on Chips and tamales, and Replenished the NACL with Margaritas. Later that night, Kim Fell asleep, so Kristin and I went to see the Dark Knight. Best Batman movie ever.
Next up a 67 mile day into Missouri Valley. Hot, muggy, and lots of hills. Ragby was lucky it did not choose our rout into MV. Nary a flat section... This day had more climbing than a amalgamation of all the hilly stretches this year on ragby.
The next day was Turkey day, or Diaz El Toro. Brendon dressed up and painted himself as a bull. We all wore white and red. A fun 65 all and all.
The century Take one. I road with Kim, Kristin, Flava Dave, Mark, and Chris. Things slit up and Dave, Mark, and I took some quality pulls en route to the hundee. We even managed to cook some turkeys on the way! I ended up first in town and road around trying to find larry and the short buss. Little did I know, Larry had a mechanical and also got a ticket from some federale. 105 total miles.
The next couple days kind of blend into one. Vong went to the Hospital/met ups with Fiona and Erica(australians living in BC and Corvalis)/heckling on the hill/riding/more riding/riding Kim's bike with the burley for a beer run with Fry-guy/Coffee/ice cream/and beer, lots of beer. I even got a preview of the state rr course on the way to tipton.
65,81,76,100 and 60 mile days. Nice. All said, 729 miles of the stuff. pictures to come
