Day 3 started off cold and wet. We spent the first hour riding in the rain, but by mid afternoon it turned out to be the nicest day that we have had so far. We spent most of the day riding in Madison county made famous by the book and movie, "Bridges of Madison County". Did we see any covered bridges? The answer for five of us would be no, but Vicky said that we passed right by one. So much for taking in all the beauty of Iowa.
More importantly, we are happy to report that the rumors of Elvis Presley's death are false. We have proof (see pictures below) that he is alive and well working as a dairy farmer in Prole, IA. Fortunately, for RAGBRAI riders he still performs occasionally at Gabby's.
Tomorrow is the easiest day of the ride. We are only riding 44 miles. So, we will be able to sleep in and have a big breakfast.
Headlining in Vegas or Prole it doesn't matter. He is still The King.
Elvis with adoring fans.
Elvis with some biker chick.
Biker chick's new tattoo.
The people in Iowa open their homes for RAGBRAI, literally.
Beer, concerts and bikers with tatoos, are you sure you are not in the Shamrock Shuffle??
