Ahoy!

Ragbrai, the annual bike ride across Iowa, stopped in North Liberty tonight. We went over and I'll say this - I was amazed at the number of people there. We were home by 10:00 and saw the local news. One station reported 800 cases of beer would be consumed tonight by the riders and their support staff. I believe it. It reminded me of Ragbrai stopping in Coralville in either 1993 or 1994. Karen and I went down to the beer garden and people were drinking 1/2 gallon milk cartons of beer. Tonight, people walked around with 2 16 oz bottles of beer. It would have been fun to stay. We saw a lot of people we knew so it was a social thing.
