I especially like the photo of the tent-camp with the (morning?) sun shining on it (52329).

While I see one photo with different tents, I am surprised to see such a uniform camp in that photo. Is it some type of a tent-hotel, provided
by some organization/company?

Every year for the last 40, thousands (20,000 est this year) gather in
western Iowa to ride their bikes from the Missouri river to the Mississippi
river in one week 60-70miles a day. . They ride everything from unicycles to
tandem tricycles. They are all ages, sizes, and both sexes (more men than
women) It is a different route each year and many ride year after year. Some
of them start the ride by biking the route from east to west and then joining
the others for the return. They eat a lot of carbs drink lots of beer and
profess to have a great time. Many find out that Iowa is not as flat as they
had heard.

I rode a very short way with them. BTW my brother dubbed the ride Tour de
farms many years ago and made a tidy sum for many years selling T-shirts on
the ride with the slogan and original artwork by his wife.

This year they stopped in my hometown and here is small gallery of their
stop. Some Pentax; some not. C&C as always.
