2016 Iowa and Upper Mississippi River

This tour consisted of RAGBRAI XLIV plus an additional self-contained week heading up the Mississippi River into Minnesota and Wisconsin.   This was the 3rd RAGBRAI for both Jack and me.  We were joined by Phil, who completed his 4th RAGBRAI and also his first self-contained bicycle tour.  The Upper Mississippi River region was particularly great both for riding and camping.   More at the posts below:
