RAGBRAI update
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Â
I previously announced my intention to ride across Iowa during RAGBRAI next summer.
You may be wondering how things are going? Well, it’s been a busy month. First I decided I needed more than one speed on my trike and new tires meant for road riding rather than the knobby tires I did have. I also wanted an old retro style odometer/speedometer that didn’t rely on batteries and could be easily read. So, the trike went in the shop for modifications.
Prior to the modifications I rode for 250 miles. I am calling those miles pre-training. Then I sprained my ankle and hyper-extended my knee. (Long story, non-riding related)Â Those injuries kept me off the trike for about 10 days.
After the past eight days, while still nursing the injuries, my new odometer now reads 147 kilometers. That would be 91 miles. I have a long way to go … but it is a start!Â
If you are riding RAGBRAI next year watch for the Academy of Local Politics Express!
