July 21, 2015: Please do not lick your screen.
The traveling celebration of Iowa on wheels otherwise known as RAGBRAI rolled into Eldora last night, and heads to Cedar Falls via Ackley and Parkersburg today. Pictures from the ride in 2004, which hit Steamboat Rock and Eldora in late morning, are included on my IA 118 page.
The headline comes from a rider’s rave review of the Eldora United Methodist Church spaghetti supper that I heard on the shuttle bus. The work it took to make that supper happen is highlighted in the Waterloo Courier. Part of the result is shown above.
Thursday, the ride will stairstep southeastward to Hiawatha, passing the intersection of Dysart Road and Tama Road but missing Tama County. It will go through Eagle Center before that — the official map omitted the unincorporated town while including Cleves, which consists of an elevator and maybe half a dozen houses.
UPDATE: One more kind of pie in Ackley — cow pie.
