| This is what the riders see as they roll down the big hill west of Lacona. |
WELCOME
You can't miss this welcome sign and mural as you enter Lacona from the west. Several riders thought this
was special for RAGBRAI. Let's not tell them that a local church group placed this welcome mural on the side of their building
4 years ago.
The riders we talked to as they departed Lacona were impressed with the hospitality shown by the local residents. They
also liked the food and refreshments. (note- The #1. #5 and #10 pies rated by the register pie eating team were from
Melcher, Lacona and Attica). All these laocations were on this leg of the ride and within 18 miles of each other. Great pie baking country!
