Over seven days, thousands of riders cross #Iowa end to end, from the Missouri River to the Mississippi, turning quiet highways into a week-long festival of sweat, stories, and small-town magic.

    This was my 20th year of riding #RAGBRAI It was on paper one of the easiest, but due to the weather conditions (humidity, headwinds and high overnight temperatures) was one of the most difficult I’ve ever ridden.
