On this day before Mother’s Day, four of us rode the route from Glenwood to Atlantic today as a pre-check of the road conditions (as part of our Ride Right Committee volunteer activities). More details about the route itself will be coming at a later time, but may I say that for those of you who love to ride hills, the Sunday ride will be a delight for you. For those of you who are delusional in thinking that Iowa is flat, find some hills to train on so you can prepare for the week. We all are in for a GREAT kickoff to the week!
