The Biking Background of Chris Seuntjens (Owner of Christopher’s Fine Jewelry & Rare Coins)

As you can see by the photos, Chris has been an avid cyclist since the mid 1970's!

The "early" picture is Chris getting ready to leave Council Bluffs on Ragbrai 2 in 1974. He was only 15 years old. Chris and his friend Owen embarked on their first major bike ride across Iowa un-supervised!His parents hugged him goodbye and said, "see you in a week". They ended up in Dubuque at Chris’s Grandpa's house 7 days later. They had a great time, but did not ride Ragbrai again until 1999 - with the same bike!

The charity ride picture is Chris with a nun and some students at Danbury Catholic in Danbury, Iowa. For several years, he would take 2 days to ride from Waukee to Danbury to raise money for the school. Danbury Catholic has grades 1- 5 and has a total of only about 35 students. The school is kept open by nothing but donations. Danbury's total population is only about 350 people.

The picture of Chris in blue with his bike is a recent Ragbrai picture. Besides the 1974 Ragbrai, he has ridden every Ragbrai from 1999 to present.
