For those of you not familiar with RAGBRIA, it stands for Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa. It’s a non competitive 434 mile bicycle tour across the state of Iowa from west to east. This is the 51st year for this. So instead of spinning to the ride across France this year I will spin to the ride across Iowa, so all is not lost with my spinning. I planned on starting today which is the first day of RAGBRAI, however I noticed my the plied string I use as my drive band, is very frayed and being held by two of the small strings, so I will go get more string tomorrow and fix the drive band and start tomorrow. Always something isn’t it, I’ll call it a flat tire on day one.

Love your reasoning!!!!! Spin your little heart out!
PS… My sister did RAGBRAI some years ago, she said it was the most intense thing she’d ever gotten dragged into!!!

I bet, it’s goes up some 17,000 feet by the end :P, for me, that’s a big nope! But it will be something she can brag about forever!!

She was a pretty big health nut back in the day!!! I think it’s really cool that she did that. It was a HUGE feat for me to ride my bike 6 miles to a beach on the other side of the town I grew up in so my bestie could ogle her boy-crush!! All across a state? Hard pass!!

LOL, “hard pass” me too! I’ll just spin while they do the hard work :).

I like your comparison of your drive band situation to a flat tire. 🙂
