RAGBRAI started on Sunday morning in Glenwood. It's the 51st year for the annual bicycle ride across Iowa. There was a party atmosphere at the first breakfast stop in Silver City. “I’ve heard through the grapevine that last year was super hot. This year is just a blessing,” said a rider from Wyoming while petting a baby goat in front of a farm backdrop. Eight-year-old Gabe Bauer from Sioux Falls has a goal for this year: “Trying to beat 20 miles because that’s my limit so far." Riders were enjoying a break at Richard Roenfeld's "man cave" in Silver City, a former service station converted into an informal social club and full of Roenfeld's collectibles.
