| This is my ideal workday route including biking with my kids to school, then to the office to get my computer, a trip downtown to the bike shop, coffee shop, and favorite downtown tavern, and finally back home. Include some nice scenes by Brookside park and ISU campus. |

This day's 78-mile ride sets out on one of the longest of RAGBRAI's traverses of the Lincoln Highway, through Nevada, Colo and State Center, to name just a few of the towns. All along the way are remnants of businesses that sprang up along the old two-lane highway in the first half of the last century. The route will take riders along the fringes of the Meskwaki Indian Settlement on the way to the overnight in Iowa's twin cities of Tama and Toledo. |
