Day 3 Success

Roger beat Chris to Emmettsburg and they were both done with the route before 2pm.
Chris was wiped out and didn't really recover today. Tired of camping, etc. Actually, he's dreading the century day tomorrow.
I met Roger at the beer garden. Ridiculous. You had to show a RAGBRAI wristband or pay $5 to get in the single entrance. I picked up veg & noodles from the wok booth, Pepsi and apple pie. We met Victoria (solid, red/burgundy hair, traveling with her boyfriend, 63) and settled down to drink and chat.
Chris showed up tired from the walk. He had a burrito, and 2 pieces of pie. Later I picked up pizza and cheese curds for the group, including Victoria.

Chris was not having any more walking and like a miracle the shuttle bus was waiting for us and almost empty. Chris was also unhappy about all the cow pies, ad nauseam.
I pointed Roger down the street towards the fairgrounds and said I'd meet him at the entrance. He still had his bike. Another miracle. It All worked.

Both guys were in pre bedtime nap mode before 7pm. And stayed there all night. Czytaj więcej
