John Karras and maps

On Tuesday of the ride, four of the team members of the team road the "Karras Loop" which is an extra 25 mile loop to take you over 100 miles in a day. 

John Karras is one of the two Des Moines register staff members who started the ride back in 1972. 

He and his wife were sitting at the far point of the extra loop under a tent and letting people take photos with "Grandpa RAGBRAI"

It's also interesting looking at the maps along the way where people can indicate where they are from
