Day 1 of RAGBRAI from Sergeant Bluff to Ida Grove. <br />Miles: 53.2<br />Feet of climb: 2,545 <br />Themes: Air Force 75th Anniversary Celebration, Mile of Silence<br /><br />Contact Laura Faxon at 630-450-6324 when you&#39;ve registered to be added to the list of riders. We do not need to ride together but to get credit for the miles ridden, you must send me an email within two days after completing the ride that lists each day and the miles rode, and a line with the total miles ridden. If you are riding in a group then one person can submit the miles for everyone, please include their name and email address.<br /><br />Overnight Town Info:<br />Riders reaching Ida Grove will be greeted by castles. The town isn&#39;t trying to keep feuding warlords — or cyclists — out. Byron Godbersen, founder of Ida Grove&#39;s Midwest Industries, liked castles and made sure castle-like features such as gates and turrets were incorporated into the designs of buildings around the city of 2,050, including his company&#39;s plant.<br /><br />In addition to serving as an overnight town in 2006, Ida Grove, which bills itself as CastleTown, U.S.A., accommodated riders in 1977 and 1988, incorporating castle themes into its festivities.
