RAMCO-Ride Across Muscatine County





The Muscatine Cycling Club had it's first RAMCO ride this morning. And there was such a great turnout, around 50-60 riders. We left Discovery Park at 7:45 this morning. There had been some sprinkles just a few minutes before we left, but no more rain the rest of the day.

Our first stop was at Julie Evan's parent's house about 11 miles west of Muscatine. A nice breakfast buffet was set for us and we all dug in. The rest of the riders headed to Lone Tree where they were going to stop at Gin's to get their famous $1.00 super large pancakes. Patti and I had to get back for a graduation party and a wedding this afternoon, so we went to F70 then up to Nichols and back on Hwy 22. We ended up with 36 miles on our tandem. It will be interesting to hear how everyone else's day went that compelted the whole ride (62 miles).

Last night Patti and I went out to dinner and celebrated our wedding anniversary (38 years) and what a great time we have had looking back and will have looking forward.
