4 Weeks to RAGBRAI

Four weeks from today (Saturday, July 19) is the beginning of RAGBRAI (although the ride actually starts on Sunday, the 20th). Should be an interesting ride this year and different from last year in at least two ways: first, there will likely be many more mosquitoes this year due to the standing water from heavy rains and flooding and, secondly, it will also be a more challenging ride because the route will have significantly greater elevation changes (i.e. hills) than last year.

Today I got a nice ride in and then mowed the lawn. Also went out to Pei's for lunch and talked with Bob ... haven't seen him for at least a month. Scott's 10 year high school reunion has arrived (how time flies!) and I expect that many of his friends will also show up this week. Should be a fun time.

The weather is great right now ... no complaints at all.

Later ...
