RAGBRAI 2008 Day minus 2
The Bobbit Bus made it to Iowa! After a long hot bumpy bus ride (just kidding Paul it wasn't all the bad!) we pulled into Davenport IA around 6pm local time. We docked up to a long in the tooth Motel 6 for the night, had a decent meal and a beer across the street (where I was able to get the last 15miles of the TdF on TV then hit the bed. Meeting us here were about 8 people from various places like Philaedelphia, PA, Milwaukee WI and a few other places I can't remember.
Davenport, Iowa
This morning, we're up and almost ready to depart Davenport. We're heading down Route 80W to pick up a few more stragglers in De Moines then heading straight across Iowa to the RAGBRAI start in Missouri Valley.
Russ (Portland, ME) and I are itching to ride, so if we get into Missouri Valley at a decent time, we're planning on doing the 12 mile ride down to the Missouri River tonight so that we're able to dip our rear ties in the river properly and fulfil the traditonal starting ritual.
Time to catch a bus!
