Charlie's Bike Stuff

Here's some new pictures from RAGBRAI XXV - 1997


Erik takes a shave in Clarksville Tennessee on the way up.


Diner stop at the "Chuck Wagon" in Keokuk on our way up. We won't look this fresh again for quite a while.

The night before the first day.
(L-R: Chris K., Greg, Andrew)


This was a rough morning. Two storms blew through around 5:30am. Took several days to dry out.
(L-R: Greg, Andrew, Chris K., Monica)


Checkin' out the playground.
(L-R: Andrew, Chris K.)


This was the first great party - day two. We were buying by the 12 pack before noon with 30 or more miles left to ride.
(L-R: Mary, Whiner, Monica, Erik, Whiner)


Immediately following the first great party - before we left town actually.
(L-R: Roger, Charlie, Monica, Erik)


New Yorkers at their best. Waterballon canon exchange with a team bus.
(L-R: Bill, Tim, ?Vince?)


Andrew takes on Norman and Cubby in a shotgun contest just outside of DesMoines. Norman brought home the victory. Thanks for the great time in West Point Norm and Cubby!

Impromptu limbo contest in Indianola. Monica will do anything for the right price ; >
(L-R: Monica, Greg, Andrew)


Maybe the best party of the trip. Didn't get in 'till after dark that day. Moving up for a better view.
(L-R: Monica, Andrew, Greg, Chris K.)


A drunken bead exchange follow the party above - kind of brings a tear to the eye.
(L-R: ??, Greg)
