In Line 〰️ Let’s get in line for 𝚷! RAGBRAI sure has a way of keeping you in line. In line for food; for the KYBO; etcetera. During Day Five, I rolled into one town; and saw the sign for 𝚷. I loved it; and a few yards farther on, a pair of signs: “For the slower ones … ; Pie”. Despite all the hype about RAGBRAI and pie, I had pi … 𝚷 … er, whatever it is, only once. Cherry crumble, or something like that. I had hoped to find Amish pie; and try shoofly pie! Well, there’s always next year. During RAGBRAI DAY Five, I managed without the SAG wagon; but I still had to walk some hills. Those kids on the Dream Team were putting me to shame. It wasn’t quite as hot today; and I got a Thelma’s Mint Double Chocolate ice cream sandwich! That was one of the items on  my must-try foods list. Drying Out 🌵 After last night’s mega-downpour, I and a number of other riders had clothing and other items that needed drying out. Fortunately, Pork Belly Ventures organized a laundry run for us that evening, for which we were very grateful. I wasn’t sure about care instructions for my sleeping bag; and didn’t dare put the dryer on high heat. So I still had a damp sleeping bag; but that was much better than a sodden one. That thing is incredibly heavy when it’s soaked! The weather was warm enough that I didn’t really need to sleep inside the bag; so it didn’t matter that it wasn’t completely dry. I hadn’t used Pork Belly’s mid-week laundry service; but since I had the chance, I washed some clothes. It was good to have a chance to catch up. I was glad the weather was drying out, too. The last thing any of us needed was a repeat of the previous night’s weather. I hoped we weren’t in line for more T-storms! Oh, and speaking of In Line, I did spot a group of in-line skaters one day!
