Training Update

5/27/17-  It's hard to believe we only have 56 days until we begin our adventure.   The weather has kept us from training as much as we would like and the thought of pulling our "bicycle trainers" out of the closet again makes us cringe.   This week Vicki, Jeana and I connected with our experienced team mate Lisa in Rochelle as a get acquainted ride.   BTW - Rochelle has a very family friendly bicycle path if any of you want to try it out.   At this point in our training most of us are approaching the 700 mile mark (RAGBRAI recommends riding 1000 miles prior to the actual ride).   We are planning a longer ride today around the Amboy area and finishing it off with dinner at the Long Branch Restaurant, eating with the locals has become something we really enjoy.   Our cycling attire quickly creates encouraging conversations with strangers, some in which we discover others that have done the RAGBRAI.

This is my first time as a blogger - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - feel free to comment and give me tips to make this more interesting.
