THERE'S NO WHINING ON RAGBRAI

But there might be a few teeny tiny exceptions.

1 It is 94F when you get in your tent at 9PM.
2. Thunderstorm hits at 9:15 with 40mph winds. Driving rain crushes tents.
3. Camp portable toilets topple in the wind.
4. Screams emanate from general vicinity of toilet area.
5. Police cruiser drives into park announcing "SEEK SHELTER, SEEK SHELTER" and then speeds away as over 200 riders run from their tents and try to get in his backseat after realizing there's no shelter in this park.

It was a long, long night. But I didn't whine. I was too busy hanging on to my air mattress promising to be good for a long, long time.

Ride on and promise to be good.
