We snorkeled here 2 years ago but one of the only beaches I didn’t see turtles. How far out did you have to swim to see them? Also to the right side by the point or left side?

the Turtles aren't far out at all. If you just swim along the grassy area about 20-30 yards off the middle of the beach you should see them. Pretty much could find them 75% of the time we looked.

Great video. RAGBRAI L (50) was prbly the most challenging ride in a long time. Heat/humidity isn’t uncommon for July & August in Iowa, but this year’s heat - lasting virtually the entire week - was unprecedented. And the fact it was the 50th anniversary ride, with so many returners and first-time riders, only added to the challenge with unusually crowded roads/more stressful bike traffic, longer lines for food/bathrooms, etc. and just more of everything amassed together (bikes, tents, support vehicles, vendors…). In a way the crowding and heat this year may prove to be a blessing, keeping the # of riders in the future down at a more normal/comfortable level. We’ll see. To me, the best thing about RAGBRAI is the people in the small towns and the overall “vibe” of the ride. It’s not a race, it’s not about “putting in the miles.” You should be there to eat a pork chop, pet a goat, ride through a sprinkler & get one of Thelma’s ice cream sandwiches. And ride a bike with friends, new and old.

I had already done BAK (Bike Across Kansas). Now I'm signed up to ride Mountains to Coast arcross North Carolina. It startd Sept. 30th and I can't wait.

Hello...let me first start by congratulating you both...great accomplishment to get through such a hot and hilly and what I thought was a at times very stressful RAGBRAi with so many riders. Your video in my opinion is one if not the best ones that I have seeing. Your approach to describe the ride during each day is spot on and all the ups and downs ( not withstanding how hilly this ride was) is as close as one can imagine how difficult because of the terrain, weather and time lines. The thing I think many of these videos except yours, is they fail to describe how stressful is to ride with over 40 thousand riders of all abilities, demeanor and approach. I also got yelled a lot by many riders who were dressed and fit to be a bicycle racer but the never as good as they thought they were like if they were good enough for Le Tour...I think your wife is a rock and total bad ass and believe me when I say this ride was difficult and not something that would be a priority on my radar again...I rode RAGBRAI on a Velo Orange Mini Velo Neutrino and I was comfortable knowing I was going to be in the saddle for at least 8 hours each day averaging 11-12 mph but what got me stress out besides sleeping in hot humid weather was the constant guarding of bad etiquette riders and the many crashes I got to see, including having a lady hit my bag wheel and taking herself out with a concussion. Your video is likely the most realistic one of all the recaps I have seen. I appreciate very much your hard work in filming and editing and I am grateful for it. Thank you for your efforts and again, congratulations in such a great accomplishment and if I ever run into you down the road, I would be the guy with two little stuff bisons hanging in the back on the saddle bag, stop me and the beers and a burger are on me. Cheers.
