What a sight as tens of thousands of bikers and support vehicles filled the streets and parking lots all over Ames. All the areas around towers, around the stadiums, Vet Med, and cross country fields were filled with tents, buses and RV's.
Here are some pics from the day.
I don't know who this guy thought he was fooling.
Seeing all the activity makes me wonder where some of these small towns find the place to hold all these people. Do they rent out neighboring pastures or something. Iowa State and Ames really did a great job organizing the people and it sure looked like a lot of fun for those who rode.
A couple interesting sights I saw....
-support vehicles setting up at 8 a.m.
-some crazy outfits.
-a guy wearing only sandals, a helmet and a speedo.
-Styx stage
-some people that looked like they must have been dropped off at the edge of town and rode in the last 2 miles.
Probably everyone riding (from Iowa at least) knew someone in Ames, so that makes it even more fun.

my friend kate said they got to ames at 8:30 to set up their guy's camp - the early you get to the next stop the closer you are to the potties!
I am not sure where N. Liberty is putting all these people???
