RAGBRAI virgin

John is off to do ragbrai this week and I joined him from Emerson to Corning which was enough for me. I saw everything you can imagine on this bike ride-barely there clothed women, underwear over biking gear,a guy dressed as a keg (how do you ride a bike as that?). It was pretty crowded and you had to always be on the watch.... which reminds me.

I was riding with John and Brad when all of a sudden the bikers in front of me pointed to he ground. John and Brad knew what to do... I was confused--- I didn't see anything in front of me. All of a sudden my whole body was vibrating! You know when you are in a car and get almost to a stop sign? Yes, it does feel a lot different when you are on a bike! I learned my lesson and avoided anymore of those (r U m B L e S t R i p S).

Sounds like John is having a good time and enjoying himself. He did fall off his bike and hurt his shoulder. He said he iced it and it is pretty sore, but it's fine. Thank goodness! John teased me that he couldn't afford me all week on the trip. I'm a sucker for all the vendors (t-shirts, jewelry etc.), I have to support all the Iowans!
