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.

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.

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.
