Curt and Yvonne pulled in to the park today and it was so great to see them after about 10 days. We are right next to each other and enjoying being together again. We have been in Clear Lake for over a week now so we’ve become the “tour guides” today. We walked down the main street and down to the lake and marveled at the preparations for the great bicycle ride which will come through here tomorrow.
“RAGBRAI”, the 7-day bicycle ride across Iowa, will find its way to Clear Lake tomorrow. This, the 38th year, is a route which averages 472 miles. It begins somewhere along Iowa’s western border on the Missouri and ends along the eastern border of the Mississippi (the route changes each year). It is amazing how this little town has prepared to host this event and welcome the thousands of participants and their crews. It would be fun to hang around and be part of it, but we will move on in the AM. Perhaps at some future time, we will come back and, who knows, Ivan may decide to join the ride.
