Among the 60 or so cyclists on the third annual “Tour the Raccoon” bike ride June 11 & 12 on the Raccoon River Valley Trail were pals Miranda Cassens (left), of Boone, and Angela Mickelson of Ames. The two were on their first organized bike tour, and on their first-ever ride on the RRVT. They are shown here ready to leave the overnight stop in Jefferson, where the tour was the first group to use the new Jefferson Trailhead Campground. More photos and a brief story about the tour are n the RRVT News below.
