Ragbrai - ho!

My 2nd post! First one was about short vs. long breaks. Very good advice. I have been trying the stretches. Here is the thing, hubby has been sick so he probably will not be riding much. We have other team members I could ride with but here is what I am thinking. I have not ridden every mile of RAGBRAI yet. It is a goal of mine. On my own this may be my best opportunity, go my own pace, take breaks when I need etc. I know the route is hilly this year and predictions are for 90+ each day but what the heck, I am not getting any younger and I have trained more miles this year than ever before. I am therefore asking for some support of like minded cycling gals. I want to post my progress every day to stay accountable. Thank you all that read this post.

Good, good luck! And have fun! We just went through Iowa in our motorhome (we're in MN now), and I can certainly vouch for it not being flat. And there's some really tough heat and humidity coming too. I will keep everything crossed for you and hope to read your updates here. Take care, have fun, and don't push past your ability. But have fun! Can't wait to hear about it!
