Ready for Ragbrai

The whole town of Jefferson has been a beehive of activity all week. Some people just left town...on purpose! We live on a fairly direct road to the Fairgrounds and it has been a steady stream of RV's all morning. Virginia and I did get our walk in before the heavy traffic started. She is hosting some riders. We said 'yes' to a couple of askers but no one confirmed with us so we are cleaned up and ready but doubt we get too personally involved. I do plan to try for photos but being a very much anti-crowd person it may be a minimal sampling.
So stay tuned for more...
Leo sent me some pre Raigbrai pictures:

Butch and I spotted Sharon and Dugan and Larry J. at the HyVee so stopped for a visit on our way home. A bike Taxi pulled up with a customer and I tried to get a photo.

Not very successful.
