Bikes, Beers and Beards: My RAGBRAI experience

Well, I made it ... barely. Milford, as I cruised into town after 70 miles of sun and wind, was a sight for sore eyes -- not too mention a sore rear end! My RAGBRAI ride ran the gamut of possible experiences. It was both thrilling and challenging. I felt a sense of town pride in each community we passed through and a sense of community between the riders.
