Wet roads, southerly winds and a temperature of 43 degrees met the bicyclists at the 10 a.m. start of the 42nd annual BRR Bike Ride to Rippey Saturday in downtown Perry.
With more then 500 pre-registered riders and several hundred day-of entrants, the annual endurance ride drew visitors from 10 states outside Iowa.
The after-party continues until 6 p.m. with the Lil Red and the Medicated Moose Band playing at the Hotel Pattee, 1112 Willis Ave.
