(Mason City, IA) Nearly 20 thousand riders completed “The Ride of the Century” on Wednesday as the overnight stop for the 49th RAGBRAI was in Mason City. Riders trekked 105 miles from Emmetsburg on Wednesday, the first 100-mile leg of the Des Moines Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa since 1985. Colleen Nagengast of Naples, Florida, says despite the 100-mile-plus ride, it wasn’t that bad, as the previous day brought a headwind. Tonia Richter from Fox Lake, Illinois, says she wasn’t going to do the 105-mile ride from Emmetsburg to Mason City, but she’s glad she did. Riders have a shorter ride today (Thursday) as it’s only 48 miles from Mason City to Charles City.
