We made it to Keokuk, IA, got checked in, and received our shirts from Bubba’s Pampered Pedalers – our charter / transportation provider. Tomorrow we bus across the state to Council Bluffs, IA.
Well, we made it to Iowa. Tonight we sleep in Keokuk, IA. In the morning we check in, load bikes, and venture to the other side of the State, Council Bluffs, for the start of RAGBRAI. I’ll be lucky if I can get to sleep tonight. Nerves are setting in. A little self-doubt. What is it going to be like? Did I train enough? Will I be able to complete the entire week? Wow. A lot to process. A lot to see. A lot to experience. A lot. In the words of our charter company, “It’s all good.” I hope they are right.
Teresa and I will get on the bus for Council Bluffs in the morning. Looks for photos and stuff.
