Ragbrai Follow-up

____We checked out Boone - the overnight town. Lots of people, but more room to spread out than Churdan. We turned and didn't try the downtown area they had blocked from traffic. The pictures are of the Wal-Mart parking lot, and also the replacement bus. ____I saw Pat in the grocery store this a.m. They didn't try serving sweet corn. He worked in Paton with the firemen. They had ribeye sandwiches. They served 1000, plus about 400 more that Churdan firemen had left over. Churdan had set up outside of town and didn't draw as big a crowd. A fellow at the edge of Paton tried to count the bikers as they left town. He had 16,000. When they were leaving Churdan, it would have been impossible to have an accurate count, just too many in groups.

  1. On July 29, they rode through our little town, they started around 6:15am and ended at 4:00pm. I spend most of the day on the front porch watching them peddling by.
