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!

Iowa Is Not Flat

For all of you that told us Iowa is flat, you lied. Unreal. We saw more hills in the first five miles than we've seen in our four year cycling career. Paul rocked up the hills. And was such a gentlemen --he waited at the top for me on each. At least it was cool and overcast. Now,17 miles from our ending town today, we are back in the sun. Must keep moving. We will write more later.

WOW - I feel your pain too! I know what New Hampshire claims to call a hill! They are really mountains!! I so thought Iowa would have been flat with cornfields...

I'm so proud to know you and support you in this life experience! You and Paul are the best!!!

Keep peddling right straight back to SRQ. No right turns in Kansas!

Be well -
Laurel
