In this photo I'm at the Iowa State Capitol - built between 1871 and 1866. A beautiful building with great masonry employing 29 types of marble. I just loved it. The central dome, not visible in the photo, is gilded in 23-karat gold leaf.
Today I meet my Adelaide mate, Ray Taarnby, and head off to Missouri Valley for the start of Ragbrai 2008. This essentially means my solo bike tour is over! The end is nigh.

Hi David,
My name is Brenda (from St. Louis, Missouri) and I randomly found your blog...I was intregred by your cycling world tour and wanted to congratulate you on your tour so far. I have a friend and coworker who will be doing the Ragbrai in Iowa next week. Good luck to you and thank you for the inspiration.
Following the whole venture with admiration. They say the 60s are new 40s and I sure believe it! Goodonyer Davo!
MM Adelaide
