RAGBRAI – Slater – I
The second day I followed RAGBRAI, I hit up two towns. Slater and then Madrid. I mentioned I wasn’t that impressed with the setup in Ames. It really just felt like every other town festival in Ames. On the opposite end of that spectrum, I was really impressed with both… Read More »RAGBRAI – Slater – I

She has just become the all-time leading scorer in women’s basketball history! Only, not so fast. Did… Read More »George Perry Floyd Square – III

RAGBRAI – Jefferson
RAGBRAI came through Greene County and Boone County and Story County last year.

On July 25, the cyclists left Carroll and… Read More »RAGBRAI – Jefferson

A Miniature Birthday
Last year the only real birthday celebration I had was playing miniature golf with Jesse and Jay at Jester Park. I’m not old and unathletic enough to play real golf yet.

This… Read More »Taco Tailgate 2023
