Well Mr Walrus since it was your first time on RAGBRAI I guess I have you to thank for 7 days with temps in the low 80's and a tailwind every day. Don't think we'll ever see weather that good again. One of the beautiful aspects of RAGBRAI is that everyone can do it the way they like best - from the party teams that roll out at 10:00 to those that leave camp in the dark at 4:00 and everyone in between.
I choose to use a charter that sets a tent up for me, takes it down, and moves my luggage every day. Yes it costs more than the Ragbrai truck but I'm on vacation!
