I rode my bike across Iowa last week with 15,000+ other wild people. Whew.
Here are snapshots of what I saw and why Iowa is the best, especially on two wheels.
I saw old friends.

And made new ones too.

Some days, I saw too much.

But most days, I couldn't get enough.

Thanks for the good times, Iowa. It feels good to be back home.
