RASH Ride 2005


Although the BEACH was at Bill's Pizza, many SONs-OF-BEACHES partied late and loud at a gazebo near the MelonHead campsite. Hey! CLAM-UP Guys!

   
Sara and Judi set up their tents before leaving on the RASH Ride.
Tony, Denny, Carmen, Tom and Ginny stop for a cold one at Pat's Tap.
After a long one mile ride, everyone stops at Pat's Tap for a break.
Judi, Stephanie and Sara on their first...but not last RASH Ride.
Tom, Bendar and Ginny. I actually get into a few of the pictures this ride.
MelonHead gals get revenge on Denny for the "alternate route" fiasco on RAGBRAI.
This team gets ready to leave the Littleton Bar. Send names please.
MelonHeads rest under the great white awning at the Littleton Bar.
T'was muggy in the bar...therefore the minimum clothing is worn. Okay!!!
The Littleton stop. It was nicer outside the building.
Two on left are unknown, then Karen, Jodi, Riley, Clint and Clint's dad.
Ken and Donna facing us. Not sure who the others are...can't see their faces.
Is she wearing her boyfriend's shorts or advertising for something?
You all know this team. Why do such pretty women hang with such ugly guys?
Carmen, Tom, Annie and Brian are seated while Nick, Denny, Myra and Randy stand.
Craig gets a big hug and tongue in the ear.
Autumn sits on Jodi's future father-in-law's lap while Julie watches.
Sara practices MelonHead tattooing on a willing participant as Ginny watches.
Is this not eerie? Annie, Nick, Tom, Patsy, Carmen, Myra, Brian and Denny.
She misunderstood what I said. I told her to go over and "kick" his ass!
Four more people who I do not know. To send me their names click the box below.
Alicia and Jenn wave. Along with Donna, the only BUD girls I saw on the ride.
At the first oasis. "I can't wait until I'm old enough to do RASH Ride!"
At the first oasis, Judi tries her hand or should I say hips at Hula Hooping.
Not to be outdone by her sister, Sara also demonstrates her hip gyration skills.
The Savages arrive. Judi discovers things hanging free under the kilts.
Although we didn't see Chickenman, we did get to draw beer from his truck.
Although it might look like burnt offerings, the burgers were great.
Brenda, Brian, Marv and Yvonne take a break at the second oasis stop.
Most of the MelonHeads take a rest stop at Wee Willy's in Quasqueton.
Julie, aka Vegas (red top) with friends who recently moved to Independence.
After dining at Bill's, some of us posed with owner Bill (red shirt). Great guy!
We're amazed that we could build a sand castle that looks like a giant penis.
In two weeks, Kim and Dave celebrate 17 years of marriage by doing Stiff Ride.
Julie and Donna said, "Gee Tom, we are not used to seeing you with clothes on!"
Who's playing the tambourine while she's dancing? Is she in the band?
The band whoops it up while everyone dances.
Sara and Judi boogie to the band at Bill's Beach Party.
Another view from our campsite after the tents were taken down.
A beautiful picture of the Independence Mill taken from our campsite.
Packing our tents and preparing to go home. It was fun...even without sleeping.
Someone sleeping near table at scene of late nite party. Guilty perhaps???
