I like to fill one water bottle with propel and the other with water. I find that granola bars fit in a bike bag easier, and are a cheap alternative to energy bars. Pie is a big-time RAGBRAI...

I'm not familiar with that song, but the movie is The Big Easy, with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin. Great zydeco music.

So sorry about your furry friend. I have lost pets too, and the pain is real.

My favorite teacher of all time was Mrs. D. She taught an American lit class my junior year and speech my senior year of high school. I really enjoyed her personality, and the subject area came...

I got chain grease on a yellow bike jacket, and Simple Green got it out, so now I'm a fan.

I check the Decorah eagles every day. I felt sorry for them when everything was covered with snow, but they are good parents and kept their babies safe and warm. Everyone is doing fine.

Rollie, I'm so sorry about your pain. I think Knotted has good advice. Don't throw it all away.

Becca, I'm so sorry. Animals we love become part of our lives. The Rainbow Bridge website was helpful for me when I went through a kitty loss.

I'll be 60 next month. I've had a bike around almost my whole life, but I started seriously cycling more at age 52.

I laughed out loud at the naked pictures - in bed, next to the glasses of wine, in the shower. Too funny, and very creative.:D

I almost forgot. Dipping your tire in the Mississippi at the end is optional, but you should do it. It ends in Dubuque this year. As you ride through, there will be people on the street who will...

I live in Algona, one of the overnight stops. I've known about RAGBRAI from the very first one in 1973, and always thought, well, someday. I hosted some friends for the 2002 RAGBRAI when I lived in...

I'm sorry about your loss. I got the non-interactive wristband version a couple of years ago. I remember reading about the same issue involving internet access, and decided to just get the regular...

Hi Emily,

I'm in rural Iowa, and I have found packets of the dry Propel with calcium mix at supermarkets and places like WalMart. Some of them only have the regular Propel, so you have to look...

I was diagnosed with osteopenia about 5 years ago, and I've taken Evista for the last 4 years. After looking over the reviews at Amazon, I just ordered Better Bones, Better Body : Beyond Estrogen...

There is really a price difference between basic and quality equipment in any s sport or hobby - cycling, photography, audio equipment, golf, boating, etc. Most people are willing to spend more on a...

I'm with the rest on this. It seems that you want more from a relationship than guy #1 is willing to give. Seeing guy #2 is not cheating on guy #1. Give guy #2 a chance, and try that kiss...

When I first got clipless pedals, I spent about 20 minutes in an empty parking lot, starting and stopping, clipping in and clipping out. I'm really glad that I did. I was able to avoid falling, and...

For me it's mostly been chafing of the inner labia. As I said in the original post, trying that sample of chamois butt'r helped. I bought the bike from a shop where the owner is REALLY into proper...

Spear, I absolutely agree about trying out different bikes. Most bike shops won't have a problem with it. As you try a variety of bikes, consider including some recumbents in bikes that you try. I...

I'm actually not new to cycling, but the vast majority of my riding for the last 7 years has been on recumbents. I recently got an upright Serotta, and have experienced some discomfort in that area...

Darn, it must have been pretty irritating for him to be in the way when she wanted to back out. Shame on him. Pretty good stuff.:)

I think that the spelling of herd was part of her use of word play, so it was part of the joke. A group of cattle is called a herd, spelled just like that. ;)

We had 2 digit phone numbers in the town where I grew up when I first learned to use the phone. My parents had a furniture store, and the store's number was 96. It was before dial telephones, and...

I biked around as a kid, like the rest of you. When I was in grad school, the bike shop in town had a moving sale, and I got a good Raliegh Super Course Mk II. I enjoyed it, but my back and rear...
