Congratulations to the RAGBRAI Dream Team riders and mentors for all the great miles! I wish continued safe and fun journeys as the big ride approaches.
I ride with the Dream Team from BRAG, Georgia’s cross-state ride, and our Dream Team had a challenging, hilly route across the northern part of the state, which had a lot of traffic at times. But the riders were careful and strong, and had an excellent tour. I feel stronger now too! I wish I could be there in person, but I’ll be following along on the Register’s website, and I hope RAGBRAI will be wonderful for everyone!
Safe miles always,
