RAGBRAI ride

This is a photo of my friend Tracy's father on the Bike Ride Across Iowa-he is the older one on the rear of the tandem.

What can I say, it is Bourbon Street!

Well the Odyssey is completed-ALMOST

What a trip this has been. I have made so many new friends along the way. I did not have any problems, other than the wind, bad drivers, no place to camp, no stores for a store stop, shoulderless roads, 112 degree heat index, and oh yes, no one to talk with-other than my own personal SELF-just kidding.

I am hoping to do the final "LEG" to the Gulf of Mexico this fall, when it is cooler-about 100 miles.

Would I do it again-the ultimate test-yes, emphatically. I learned a lot about myself and the great people of our country. Am thinking about another trip-Odyssey 2!
I will add a few more photos to Picasa later..
Thanks to everyone who looked at this.
Love ya'll,
Terry
