Mike from Iowa

I did a two day tour last week and rode from my home in Iowa City to my in-laws in Rock Island, Illinois, a trip I've wanted to do for years. I loaded up the '86 Raleigh Aleyska and left Thursday at noon. I took county roads and some gravel to a county park north of Muscatine, where I camped. Then on Friday I rode into Muscatine, then along the "Great River Road" to Davenport, and crossed the Mississippi River on Centennial Bridge. The Quad Cities River Bandits are in their final season of Class A ball. I saw them taking infield at their stadium next to the river as I crossed. I went about 40 miles on Thursday and 50 on Friday, a nice little trip. The bike did great as usual.
