2006 Videos
The 2006 ride was a short one for me this year. This is the second year where a herniated disk has kept me off of the bike and my plans were to ride the trip across Iowa by car. I immediately learned that this was a not fun plan. It would be pretty close to going to Six Flags and watching everyone else ride on the rides. In addition, trying to go to some of the towns along the route by car is also a bad idea. I have more resolve than ever to be riding next year, however. We have been quite successful with the intenet movies and I have some high quality ones for you this year. I hope you enjoy them. 1. Give the movie at least 10 seconds to load. 2. You might have to click play twice. 3. Make sure your sound is cranked up 4. When the movie begins playing, double click it for full screen. 5. These movies probably will not work with dial up or old computers.
	Prologue- Getting the Hawg bus across the state with a full load of Hawgs and bikes is sometimes a bit of an ordeal. Yesterday was not exception, but we made the 200 plus mile trek from Waterloo to Sergeant Bluff in Just a bit more than 8 hours. Now this of course included fueling and repairs. But “Boss Hawg” Larry has an uncanny sense of finding the right places to break down with the Hawg Bus. After all who else could time it where the bus breaks down in location with an abundant supply of parts and a place also convenient for the Hawgs waiting to get back underway. Enjoy the video and we’ll get the first day’s ride report to you as soon as possible. Today was a first in Ragbrai technology. Not only do you have streaming video with the reports, but we also were able to turn on the laptops at our wonderful host’s backyard and note that they left their wireless network unsecured! Way to go!
This is the town of Anthon and we meet some old (and not so old) friends.
