This week Becky is off on her 11th fit of insanity, riding in RAGBRAI, the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. This is the 40th year for RAGBRAI and there are 10,000 registered riders (not counting day-riders and pirate riders) doing this as well. This year’s ride is short… Only 405 miles! It is usually closer to 500 hundred. On Tuesday there was an additional 24 mile loop which made that day over 109 miles for Becky. (They add a loop one day each year making that day a “Century Day” with at least 1oo miles of riding.) Becky did the extra loop but struggled on that one. It was 98 and windy. She also tells me that Iowa is much hillier than people think!
Becky has developed a following on this that I keep updated daily with emails. If you’re not on that list and want to be, let me know.
