I have a tremendous amount on my plate, personally, and finding time to bike is difficult at times. Some days, most days, I have to plan my bike rides but as long as I can bike during those times, I’m good. Life stuff is important but so is finding time for yourself. I’ve found if I don’t take care of my needs/wants, I can’t give to others the way I want to. Biking provides this for me and I look at my biking timea and Ragbrai as my personal reward to myself for all of the stuff I need to take care of for others. Ragbrai is my time, my way, with alot of fun and no regrets. Don’t worry about the miles, you’ll be fine there, just bike when you can and have alittle fun…go bike!!
