RAGBRAI Day 7: The Final Cycle! Today our team successfully completed the final 69 miles of their week-long adventure across Iowa! Today’s ride started in Iowa City, and took them to Davenport, where they rolled into their final destination. The team fulfilled the RAGBRAI tradition of ending the ride by dipping their tires into the rivers of the final host community. Clocking 428.1 miles total, we could not be more proud! This ride’s over, the finish line’s crossed, but BFI continues the journey!
