The weather was perfect for riding (temperatures stayed in the 80's; cloud cover in the afternoon helped cool us off); roads were generally smoother with just a few rolling hills to negotiate.
We will definitely be sleeping well tonight.

82 miles conquered
Lee was worried about today's 82 miles, but we did just fine. We didn't set any speed records, but, remember - RAGBRAI is a ride, not a race! There were interesting towns along the way, things to see and do, people to chat with and food to eat and more food to eat. A helpful citizen of Parkersburg, Iowa, took our picture in front of a creative bike sculpture erected on the edge of town so you can see us both together enjoying our day.

Hey, congrats on the ride so far!! I've been in SF and haven't had a pc this week up until today, so I'm catching up now on RAGBRAI. Good luck with the finish.
