Two Pella teens trek RAGBRAI across Iowa on bikes
Barry Sagraves and Tony De Boef both fourteen set out from Hawarden toward Fort Madison on a 450 mile ride. Barry previously rode Des Moines to Marshalltown last year and is riding a Sagrave's International built with mixed parts. Tony rides a Kalkhoff 10 he rebuilt. They plan nightly camping with luggage truck support and allot five dollars per day for expenses plus fifteen dollars detasseling funds. They praise bike culture and expect towns along the route to welcome them as they cover the mid journey between Boone and Newton.
