What Is Okra (Lady's Finger) And 6 Benefits Of Adding The Medicinal Vegetable To Your Diet. Sink your teeth into okraâs health benefits, which range from treating diabetes to preventing kidney disease.
RAGBRAI began in 1973 when Des Moines Register feature writers John Karras and Donald Kaul decided to go on a bicycle ride across Iowa. Both men were avid cyclists. Karras challenged Kaul to do the ride and write articles about what he experienced. Kaul agreed to do it, but only if Karras also did the ride.
For most cyclists, RAGBRAI is a supported camping tour.. That means you stuff a tent, sleeping bag and some clothes into a duffel bag, which you load on a truck or van each morning. On a typical day you ride 60 to 70 miles, passing through several small towns along the way.
