- Steve, Dave and Rick head off to hospital in Mason City
- The others will do something that seems odd - ride the route and find breakfast with the rest of the riders
- The doctor wants to know why Steve didn't come in last night
- Because we were drinking and having fun - don't anger him or he'll steal something
- How hard is it to find a place to either eat or buy groceries in this town?
- The boys decide to hit I-80 and find some other place to eat
- That would be a dinner club in Floyd
- Meet rest of the team in Riceville
- We find a place to park outside of the fun - but close enough to VFW with a nice clean bathroom
- Rick takes off and Steve waits for the others to arrive; when they say they're sagging he takes off
- Saratoga had some fun but not enough pull to make us stay
- Lime Springs looks harmless enough in the pre-town - a nice place to have a pulled pork sandwich and watermelon
- Things change as Rick heads into town
- If you see Stretch and he's sticking around then you know that you're in for a long spell of drinking
- Steve joins Rick at the Lime Springs beer garden
- So do Die Hard, Chickenman and the rest of the rogues
- A giant trailer to throw our empties into - looks like a good place for Chickenman to crawl up on and show everyone his junk
- Steve and Rick can't stop getting beers
- Finally we hit the road and run into a HARD roadside party
- How solid are these guys - a "double bike stereo" and cold beers
- The whole group rides together and stops for another party at farm up the road
- Chickenman hitches a ride on an Amish wagon
- Johnny Law shows up, better stash the "stash"
- It's just Officer Schaefer and he's just making sure that we have lights on our bikes
- We all make it to Cresco and now we have to find Q's parents
- Eventually we make it to the Swestkas and we are greeted by the rest of the team and another set of fabulous hosts
- Michelle and Johnny Paco show up, fresh from Paris (the city of romance)
- After a few beers they take off to find the rest of the Die Hards
- After a few more beers most of the team heads to tent - Dave head to porch floor
- Rick stays up, sits out on the swing, has a few more beers and thinks about things under the stars (life, liberty, lost opportunities)
- He nods off on the swing only to wake up covered in dew - it is awfully thick tonight
- He heads off to porch floor
