Karras Loop - Wednesday

In 1972, 4 Des Moines Register Sportswriters started RAGBRAI. This was the idea of John Karras 44 years ago! 

For the last 30 years, there is a day with an extra 30-35 mile loop to take it to a "century day" (100+ miles) and  that loop is called the Karras Loop. Riders get a special patch. 

Joel and Kyle from the team rode the karras Loop is year! 

Here's the Lake Rathbun dam! 

 

At the Honey Creek Resort, the mid point of the Loop, you got the patches plus had a chance to relax and unwind!

 

Most riders chose to jump in the lake including Kyle
