Since our return from Australia and Antarctica, we've been tending to personal matters and haven't done any significant travel. We are actively trying to sell our current boat and are not planning on cruising on it this Spring or Summer.
The one thing on the docket, though, is riding our bicycles in RAGBRAI. This 7-day ride across Iowa is the oldest and largest cross-state bicycle rides. This year it will have about 8500 riders moving en masse across the state.
The route, which changes every year, is 471 miles and, shockingly from our perspective, 22,500 feet of elevation. Being a native "left-coaster", I assumed that between the Rockies and the Appalachians was nothing but flat. Where did those hills in Iowa come from???
Its time to start training and get some serious "seat" time.
