The last three days we have been traveling through Iowa. I told everyone Iowa was flat. Was I ever wrong. The first day we actually did more climbing than we did when we crossed the Rockies. We were very glad to see our hosts in Edgewood, the next night in Central City and tonight in Muscatine. Tomorrow we are on to Illinois.
Today was quite interesting. First our route overlapped the huge RAG BRAI ride that involves about ten thousand cyclists going across Iowa. For about 15-20 miles we ended up riding with them. Their day ended well before ours. The last section took us across roads wiped out by the flooding in Iowa earlier this summer. They were closed to traffic, but on our bikes we could get by. The destruction is really unbelievable. Well--most of us went through. A few of our riders followed the detours signs and ended up putting on an extra 16 miles. Ouch!
God continues to be good to us by providing us with wonderful hosts, good weather and supporters along the way. Someone on the RAG BRAI ride today even gave us a donation. All of our riders are still raising funds, so pass the word! We want to raise as much as we can to help reach young people around the world through YFC.
