RAGBRAI 2022

We had trouble waking up and didn't really start moving seriously until 6:00. There was a concession stand inside our campground/soccerfield/fairgrounds. They of course ran out of coffee. I wondered back to pick up around the campsite and then headed back to the horrendous line. This means Chris was loose in the tent for almost 15 minutes without me. Of course he broke his prescription glasses. Rogers come through with some sunglasses and he had some reading glasses in the car. Still, it's early in the week.
The day is beautiful, Rodger and I had donuts and coffee. And they were ready to hit the road by 6:45 ish. This is a short day and that was fine.
After packing up I drove downtown. I never saw a sign as to where the non-gravel RAGBRAI bike should go. Lots of lost bicyclists. The Aspen Leaf Cafe had people out the door.
After gassing up at the Sinclair I hit the road. Just like at the campground there was no sweetener for my coffee. I'm almost getting used to black coffee.
Arrived at the main campground around 9:45.
Found a place to park and set up my tents. No idea where the porta potties will be. Should be interesting.
The tents are set up and the porta potties have been delivered. The flies are terrible..

The info booth has no maps for the next town. Grrrrrrr.Leia mais
