Yes, I’m a slow bike rider. Slow enough, in fact, that those I’ve ridden Ragbrai with over the past two years have occasionally referred to my biking style as “tortoise pace.” It’s true, actually and I don’t mind at all. Indeed, last year I decided I would ride SLOWER than the year before, and this year it looks quite likely that I will ride even slower yet. Any real biker would be ashamed of that. Not me. Ragbrai isn’t a race; it’s more like a family reunion or a county fair. So this year I decided to embrace my pace and celebrate it.
How? You might ask… I ordered bracelets. Blue… glow in the dark… silicone with a trendy little tortoise and my new motto: …the slower the better!
They just arrived, and I know, you’re jealous. I ordered enough to share though; all you have to do is ride a little tortoise pace and I might even give you one!
1 week….
Grace and Peace,

PS. Interested in ordering your own bracelets for something? The company I went through was great: http://www.wristbandsnow.com/
