20 Years Later

Twenty years ago Ragbrai '87

When I rode with a team, did all the right things like making it to a overnight stop by 6:00pm, before I found out you could stop at a bar on ride, was in overnight way to early.

Morning Ride In

Have to enjoy a morning commute.

Test bike from Specialized, Squirrel rode into work
Nice ride in today 1 hour 25 min for the 17+ miles from West Des Moines to Ankeny, Ran into a fellow bagger who was out playing loaded with panniers, getting in some practice before heading out to Ragbrai, Nick reminded me about tunnel party on the 11th starting at Orlando's heading to Cumming Tap, and back with parties at both tunnels

Uneventful Weekend

Moved I-pod up to space bar Saturday morning before heading of to a ride, can change music rolling down the road. Left camera at home could have used it while out. Dropped Squirrel's Nano off after hitting Post Office, Rassy's for some air in tires, down the trail I go, Set myself up for a ride out and back to be a Sully's at noon when they opened, riding the levey over by Demans Woods single track I hear Craig like a beer, turned bike around thought I was hearing things or just thinking outloud again, Found Justin and several others just inside the trail having a beer, they was just finishing up cutting grass and cleaning up trail. Sounds like sometime this week might hear from Melissa, looking forward to that.

Morning

So nice to be a work early in the morning
