A tin cup or a gilded goblet, a hut or a castle, wobbly bicycles or a Bentley -- to wherever and by whatever means, my love, our journey is splendid,
our cup is full.

RAGBRAI 2008 - Wednesday update

Just a quick update since (as we've found everywhere) WiFi is very limited, with 10,000+ riders all trying to get on line one way or the other . . . . . .
We're in Tama, IA after our fourth day of RAGBRAI and all is well.  The rides are a bit more difficult than we'd anticipated, but all are doable -- we just need to remember that we have all day.  We've ridden over 200 miles and no major incidents.  We've had a few hassles with the motorhome -- the toilet mechanism stopped working last night, and Mark had to take it into Des Moines to try to get it fixed today.  No parts were available so Tiffin will be overnighting a new complete toilet to us at the campground by tomorrow morning -- we'll install it and be on our way.  Its the reason we are so convinced that TMH not only makes the best motorhomes today, but backs them up with unbelievable customer support.
We're on another 70 mile day tomorrow with 12,000 of our best cycling friends.  We'll update the blog when we can, but will do some complete posts with pictures next week.
