Ride my bicycle. Just because RAGBRAI and other organized rides are being called off doesn’t mean I still can’t ride solo like back in the good old days. -“BB”-
BB – my feelings exactly. When I ride, I get that same feeling of freedom and adventure that I felt when I was 8 years old and first able to expand boundaries. My first bike opened my world up exponentially. That feeling of an instant expanse of time and space, and the sense of awe that comes with it. I have longed for that feeling ever sense, and I feel it when I’m on my bike exploring roads less traveled. RAGBRAI is awesome, but for me it’s really an excuse to ride…not the reason I ride. The underlying reason I ride is not dependent on the last week in July.
Ride when I have time and weather not too bad. Plus Amish land of lakes ride at the end of July if it is not cancelled. Also Bourbon Burn is in early October and BRAG is in Mid October.
