MadStatters' 2016 RAGBRAI Day 1 ReportPosted: 07/24/2016 - by Charlie NarmiUnfortunately the day started with fatally near Glenwood, but double rainbow at day's end in Shenandoah. Team Fighting Black Squirrels is (L-R): Ken Schreiber, Kevin Nielsen, Joe Nicholas, Matt Madsen, Kathleen Kilnoski and Jenna & Steve Hotze. Pat Schreiber is our driver. Let's take a closer look at those shirts... Tabor did a great job with their public park, though Joe lamented being thrown out at home plate twice(!) in a HS game at the ball diamond in 1973. So sad. Hot & hilly, but fun. In Shenandoah Rita Gibson worked tending bar at the Elks besides hosting us. Thanks! So we ate and had refreshments there. 7am - who's ready to ride?!? At Little Waite Lanes, Kathleen punked 7 year old shirtless Mikey in outdoor trailer bowling. Matt was the pin setup man. Then Pat & Joe fleeced Mikey & Matt at bags. It's more wholesome than inferred, really. Tomorrow 75 miles to Creston. Reporting for stalbertsportsfan.com ~Matt Madsen~ -ARCHIVES- |
