Even on RAGBRAI...

...I crochet.
"What's ragbrai?" You ask.
The Des Moines (Iowa) newspaper is the Register and for 43 years they have sponsored the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. This year, there were over 15,000 registered riders! Some go for the whole week. Others only go for one day. The route is different every year.
One begins by dipping the back bike tire in the Missouri River. On the final day, the front bike tire is dipped in the Mississippi River.
How did I crochet while biking? I didn't. I was the support driver for my family's team. I got up at 5 in the morning with the riders, helped take down our tents,  and load all the gear in the truck. They started biking on the day's route, I started driving to the town where we would spend that night, buying gas, bottled water, and ice as needed. I usually arrived in less than 2 hours. I would set up the tents and have HOURS to crochet before any of my team arrived.
I took:
My green and white shoulder bag. I seldom get those bags, so progress is slow. I'm on the handle. After crocheting the 6 bags I had cut, fastened, and rolled into a ball, I'm still working on the handle.

My grey plarn stadium cushion.
I had rolled 7 balls of 6 bags each. After crocheting those, I'm still only about half finished. Oh well, I'm happy with that progress.

Thread for a red, white, and blue coaster. I started a coaster and worked into row 11 of 12.

I feel that I accomplished a lot this past week, but I'm very glad to be home!
