RAGBRAI City Profile - Lake View and Webster City
After riding 62 miles of Iowa hills, the town of Lake View will be a welcomed site. Most riders will gladly "Take a Brake at the Lake" as the Lake View theme suggests. Situated alongside beautiful Black Hawk Lake, this small Iowa town boasts that it is a bicycle friendly town that is ready for RAGBRAI.
The main entertainment stage will feature 4 different bands, the headliner being The Johnny Holm Band. Riders that want to enjoy the entertainment will finda band on the stage anytime between 4:00 and midnight.
This would not be a good time to rock and roll all night though! The ride from Lake View to Webster City will give you a chance to complete the Karras Loop.
If you were happy to get into Lake View after riding 62 miles, then you'll be overjoyed to ride into Webster City if you choose to complete the Karras Loop. The Webster City RAGBRAI website promises that riders will find a place to sit a while, soothe their aching muscles and fill up on great food, beverages and music. What sort of music you may ask? Well if the lyrics Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog make you want to get up and dance, then you'll want to check out the Three Dog Night show beginning at 10:00pm. Details on that concert are located here.
