Day 4: Webster City to Marshalltown (stuff you see at Ragbrai)


Bowed out of the 4H Club today.  Decided that it would be better not to end up in the hospital again.  There were a lot more names on the SAG list  this morning.  The 4H’s are taking a toll on everyone.  Initially we were scheduled to sleep in a soccer field behind a nursing home but Jason (the negotiator) drove around and found a American Legion building that allowed us to sleep in their air conditioned basement.  We got to the American Legion just in time to escape a ferocious lighting storm.  It was an incredibly sight BECAUSE we were inside.  It wouldn’t have been  such a great sight from inside a tent (so sorry for regular Ragbraiers). 

Ragbrai is more than just a bike ride, it’s an adventure. So here’s a little picture montage of some of the sights of Ragbrai and Iowa.
