Welcome to the little village of Shelby. Up the hill the crowd of riders is so dense you have to walk. Apologies for all pix on RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride across Iowa). This event was such a marvelous slice of Americana at its very best. 35,000 riders estimated.

Colossians 3, 1-5, 9-11  Seek what is above.

Luke 12, 13-21, You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you.

These little ladies told me they are Mennonites. They make a wicked Rhubarb-Strawberry pie, $2, per slice. I had 4 one day.

Day 4, departing from Des Moines, we arrived at the little town of Runnels, my favorite pass through town. The high school band welcomed us along with cheerleaders, big and little, and beautiful shade. Impossible to get out of Runnels in less than 2 hours.

Why come? This is why, to see such craziness. This guy is from England, comes every year. No brakes on this creature.

Why come? To stand in a line of 100 bikers to buy homemade ice cream. Only half the line covered by the picture.

True? 

Accept that some days you're the pigeon,

And some days you're the statue.

Want to get rid of your old school bus? Bus reincarnation here, "Shagbrai." The roof serves as a bike rack when traveling and a party venue when parked at the overnight towns. Beware of inibriation. It is a long way down.

The lady thanked me for taking the picture of her bus. She said they hired graffiti artists to do the job. Americana at its Best.
