Day 5 of RAGBRAI. We've dealt with furious headwind all week. Food, beer, sleep, karaoke, and slip'n'slides have been the order of our downtime. The new Nasties from Chattanooga have given a new, fun flavor to our group. We also have Nasty stickers and have been plastering them on worthy objects and people. Guerrilla marketing at its best.

Apparently Monday was the third-hardest day in the history of this ride. Since then, the rides have felt easier, but headwind makes everything difficult. I feel as though I'm dragging a brick from my back wheel.

Just feasted on a meal prepared by relatives and friends from Cono. I'll post full highlights from the week when I get back, as I did last time..
