Ragbrai, the Monday After
So.. what does someone think about Ragbrai two days after it’s all over? Here’s some of it…
My right knee is tight and my left little toe is a little puffy — Neither particularly hurt. I call that success.
The right shorts make all the difference in the world. I brought 4 pairs along, […]
Made it!
Made it! (1:00)!

Welcome to Dyersville…
We made it to Dyersville today (the home of the field of dreams, although I didn’t take the shuttle out to see it). The road was hilly and, when the sun peaked out from the clouds, very hot. Otherwise, it as pretty nice.
Slow and steady… For the third time slow and […]
Been a few days…
Well, it’s been a few days, but I finally got a spot at the internet truck and thought I’d check in. Here’s what’s happened…
Wednesday was a GREAT day. It went well. Spent the night in Cedar Falls and attended a Blues Traveler concert in the UniDome. The concert wasn’t good […]

Roasted corn on the cob.. yumm!
The biggest […]

It’s entirely possible to describe today’s ragbrai ride in the following words: headwinds, hot, sun (yes, JJ, I did wear sunscreen - I did get a little dark though), TONS of people, sweat and grime. That’s pretty much it.
We rode a little over 75 miles today starting in Rock Rapids and ending […]
We made it!
Thanks to Iowa Telcom — Free internet!
We made it to Rock Rapids; our tents our set up at the high school and we rode our bikes down town for dinner (Propel H20, Chips and a boneless rib sandwich) — yummy!
It’s HOT and there’s a TON of people around here, but we’re excited. Tomorrow we’re […]
Still Awake
Why am I still awake at 12:30? Not because I got my days mixed up and thought Harry Potter was coming out tonight - no, not that at all. I know that’s tomorrow night and (hrumph!) JJ gets the book first this time. (She’d better not tell me what happens!!!)
No, […]
