The full route with pass-thru towns for the 2013 RAGBRAI bike ride has been released.  It's been a while since it's come this close to home.  The mob will be about 3 miles from our house, and pass by one of our farms, but won't bother home base at all. (Finally, an advantage to living on a gravel road??)  Will sure make an impact on where and how our trucks run for a couple of days.  I hope it works out that some local organizations and businesses can benefit from the crowds.  I know they've put some pretty severe restrictions on community and individual participation as far as food, drinks, etc are concerned over the years.  Will be interesting in that light too.
