A little preview of what is to come next month....

I'm thinking this must be Pella, given the windmill in the background.

It's probably obvious.....

My training buddies and I were talking during our ride Saturday whether given the chance to go on RAGBRAI or jet off to HAWAII, what we would do.  If for some reason you're having a hard time deciding that...these pics might help.....though RAGBRAI is pretty fun! ;)

My training....

Buddies!

MI corn in the morning....

Practicing....

Seemed like an Iowa shot even though I'm still in Michigan.  The trees...yeah, no trees in IA!

My training buddy Luke...

....helping with the drag :)

A little history to kick things off here...

I might regret starting with this but it's the only biking-related pic on my phone and I want to do a test post. This is my only flat tire in 12+ RAGBRAI's, only a few blocks from the state capital - 1992, gotta love the colors...:)
