MANCHESTER, Iowa - This is day five of RAGBRAI and the cyclists traveled 82 miles from Charles City to Waterloo.

On Friday, they'll be heading to Manchester, the community we're featuring this week as Our Town. And when some of the riders get to Manchester, they'll also be arriving in their town.

Meet the RAGBRAI riders from Our Town Manchester. Out here they're known as Team KYBO.

The crew has been doing the ride for 22 years. Everything was going great this year, until the flood hit right before the team was to leave for Sioux City.

Many homes were flooded. And many were wondering if Manchester would be ready for the riders. Team KYBO says they'll be ready.

One thing is for certain, Team KYBO knows where they'll sleep Friday, in their own beds!
