Day 1 started out hot and humid. We left around 7:00 am, in a large pack of riders. At this point, I'm wondering what I got myself into, and if my preparation is going to be enough. The riding is pretty flat, so no problems there. We are crusing at a comfortable 16 MPH with no problems, except for the number of riders to contend with.
Breakfast today is Farm Boys breakfast burrito. Very good. Here is a photo of folks waiting in line for food in the morning. Its a long line and everybody justs lays their bikes in the ditch while they wait and eat.
RAGBRAI brings out the nuts from the woodwork. Its known for weird costumes and wild parties, but I think it has calmed down a lot, because we didn't run into any wildness or loud parties the whole week. We did, however, get passed by this group of riders wearing tutus.
Due to the heat and humidity, it felt like a long day, even though it was a shorter mileage day. Here's a shot of Dan taken in Orange City.
