Welcome

Hey Guys!
Paul and I are deep into our preparation for RAGBRAI. Many of our family members and friends have asked us to keep in touch during the trip. So, we are going to attempt to blog about our experience. This is a hard task as I’ve always thought that you have to be a little self centered to write about yourself and then assume others will read your scribed thoughts. Therefore, this blog will be less about us and more about the characters we meet along the 470 mile journey across Iowa. The way we see it, there are 9,998 friends we haven’t yet met on this trip!

Something to consider:Our blog posts may be limited due to a lack of cell service, communications trailers or the will to walk, type or talk after 83 miles of hills! If posting delays occur please be patient. We will catch up with the journal as soon as we can!

We leave Friday. The ride starts Sunday and continues through the following Saturday!

Hallelujah, and pass the oxygen

We did it!
83 miles plus. First 60 miles were either straight up or down-- literally, no flat spots! Last 20-plus miles were rolling hills. It was the hardest thing we've ever done!
Too tired to say more.

Sounds like you two are having a great time. Wished I was there to share those hills with you.
