Grace? Phewey!

Posted by teejtc on June 3rd, 2008 filed in Biking (with pedals!)

Ok, I know I should state the grace-based option here…. that everyone deserves forgiveness and that everyone makes mistakes… but….

Car Crashes into Bike Race
Peace…. ok… and grace too…

The Pride Ride…

Posted by teejtc on May 18th, 2008 filed in Knitting & Tatting, Biking (with pedals!), Ragbrai

I came into a place mute of all light,
Which bellows as the sea does in a tempest,
If by opposing winds ‘t is combated.

The infernal hurricane that never rests
Hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine;
Whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them.

When they arrive before the precipice,
There are the shrieks, the plaints, and the […]

Pride Ride, Here I come…

Posted by teejtc on May 4th, 2008 filed in Biking (with pedals!)

Actually, it’s not what you think, there aren’t any rainbows involved with this one.
Pride=A Group of Lions…
It’s a fund-raising gig for the local Lion’s Club (which I don’t know much about, but they raise money for the likes of glasses, hearing aids, United Way, etc.)  It’s on Saturday, May 17th (the morning after our all-church […]

Posted by teejtc on April 30th, 2008 filed in Announcements, Biking (with pedals!), Ragbrai

OK, I know some of you (joining a large group of people including my wife and most of my congregation) will think this is a crazy thing, but I’m TOTALLY excited.  We found out today that Team Dunningwut? was selected in the random lottery for a place at Ragbrai again this year.
If you’ve never heard […]

I’m Registered… Yipee!!!

Posted by teejtc on November 15th, 2007 filed in Biking (with pedals!), Ragbrai

This is one of those weeks… If nobody dies, I have 7 sermons to write/preach/etc. over the next 10 days. ugh. I love my job, but the holidays are exhausting. Which is why I’m so excited to point out that today was the VERY first day Ragbrai registration was open… and […]

Ragbrai, the Monday After

Posted by teejtc on July 30th, 2007 filed in Biking (with pedals!), Ragbrai

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, […]

Welcome to Dyersville…

Posted by teejtc on July 27th, 2007 filed in Biking (with pedals!), Ragbrai

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 […]
