Have you ever gotten that feeling of pure excitement. It starts in your shoulders and radiates through the rest of your body. Even though you try to stay calm you still can't help but smile. I have that feeling at the moment. I have decided to ride in RAGBRAI again this year. The route has just been posted and it looks like it is going to be a good time. RAGBRAI stands for Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. It is a bike ride that lasts 7 days. Each day a person rides between 40-100 miles in order to ride from the West side of the Iowa border (the Missouri River) to the East side of the Iowa border (the Mississippi River). The ride totals about 472 miles.
The last time I went it was soooo tiring and hard. But it was fun in a weird sort of way. It was a huge accomplishment when you rode into the overnight town, people would stand along the side of the road and cheer you in. I can't explain it, you will just have to join me and see for yourself!!
I guess now would be a good time to finally get new tires for my bike!!

Wow. And I thought running a marathon would be hard! How exciting!
I'm so proud of you for deciding to race in Ragbrai!! Last year, Jake Gyllenthal was preparing to ride it. Maybe this year you will meet him! And MAYBE you will talk about me and he will fall in love with me and he and i will have babies together!
either way, it's gonna be a great ride! now start pumping iron and don't forget the sunblock (SPF 2,000 should about do it.)
The Field of Dreams is located in Dyersville.
If you bike it...they will come.
It's going to be a fun ride. Don't train too hard!
Let's talk about the third day in...
