What have I got myself into?
It's almost midnight, and in about nine hours I leave for RAGBRAI. I'm very pumped and hope I'm prepared for what lies ahead of me. We decided to try and find an internet connection in the towns we visit so we can upload pictures and create a short blog of the days events.

See you when we return on Saturday July 29th. God Bless.

We will start with dipping our tires in the Missouri River and end with dipping our tires in the Mississippi River. The route this year goes through Polk city and Newton, so we'll be close to home. To prepare for this...
