THE 50TH ANNUAL REGISTER’S GREAT BIKE RIDE ACROSS IOWA, BETTER KNOWN AS RAGBRAI, WRAPPED UP SATURDAY IN THE CITY OF DAVENPORT.
JOHN DEN BESTE MADE THE JOURNEY FROM SIOUX CITY TO DAVENPORT WITH MEMBERS OF THE SIOUXLAND CYCLISTS BIKE CLUB.
HE SAYS THE HEAT AND HILLS TOOK A TOLL ON EVERYONE THE LAST HALF OF THE RIDE WHEN TEMPERATURES GOT INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90’S:

RIDE6 OC……..MILES AT A TIME. :24
DEN BESTE SAYS FORTUNATELY, A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVING ALONG THE ROUTE HELPED COOL OFF THE BIKE RIDERS AND HE FOUND ANOTHER CREATIVE WAY TO BEAT THE HEAT:
