It should be pretty easy with a little pre-planning. Contact the overnight towns and they should be able to help you. You’ll need to tap into a hard line as cell phone are useless during most of the ride. Too many phones crush the systems in rural areas (no matter how much they tell you they do things to fix the problem). Texting works well.…[Read more]

I think it will be lighter than normal because we are getting older and in trying to Destroy President Trump, the propaganda media did a really good job of terrifying everyone. Now we have a President trying to keep his dark winter going in their efforts to get as many people on the government dole as possible. Sorry you fell for it. If you…[Read more]

2006 Trek 1000C. The only original part left is the handlebars. Now running an oval 2×11 with a rack and probably a pannier for Ragbrai. I normally have a stereo on the back, but have opted for a 12 pack cooler for Ragbrai. We have enough people with stereos I’ve never used it when I brought it.

I seem to be a leper here now. Does anything work? Does anyone from Ragbrai reply to any questions sent to “contact us”? Am I registered or not? Is there a problem? Why can’t I see anything? What do we do if my Ragbrai account uses an email address that is no longer valid but you are not allowed to change your email address? What do you do…[Read more]

Joseph S. The exact reason why I was with TJ on getting Ragbrai away from them. Enjoy your fake news. Stay locked up in your basement until Fuhrer Biden tells you it’s safe to come out. I heard sometime in 2024. Meanwhile I’ll be having fun riding around Iowa.

Gov Reynolds move is a big step. Of course the socialist republics of Des Moines and Iowa City are refusing to comply. Either way, we’ll be riding around Iowa that week whether they want us to or not.

I’m okay as long as they still call it a hill.
SFC JKL 2 replied to the topic in the forum SFC JKL 2 2 months, 3 weeks ago
My legs are trashed but still move in a little circle OK. Since I quit running in 1997, I started cycling for my cardio. I would love to say weight loss, but cycling seems to do next to nothing for me in that regard. Almost strictly diet for me.
I ride some to be social and some to be alone. Outside of tailgating for football, I’ll drink more…[Read more]

I carried over from last year. We will be riding in IA whether Ragbrai has a ride or not.
SFC JKL 2 replied to the topic Crystal Ball in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I like Farms Boys (kids) because it’s the only place I can get a Diet Coke on Ragbrai without going into a building.
SFC JKL 2 replied to the topic Crystal Ball in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I think Iowa’s ride will go off in some fashion as long as Ragbrai is a go. I think Ragbrai will be a go because biker’s and pass thru towns will be demanding it by then. Either way, I’m sure I’ll be biking around some part of Iowa that week just like we did this year. But first, BRR registration opens Oct 31.

It’s not the plague. Wear your mask and sanitize away. If you’re really worried, stay home.
SFC JKL 2 replied to the topic Rim vs. Disc Brakes, Worth While for Buying a New Bike? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 6 months, 1 week ago
I thought about it when I lived in the mountains. The street I lived on was 18 degrees and I would have brake fade by the time I got to the bottom. Even then, I couldn’t justify pulling the trigger. I think the times I would benefit would be too few and far between. With that said, the correct number of bikes is N + 1 so I’ll never say never.
SFC JKL 2 replied to the topic IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN ON RAGBRAI in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 7 months, 1 week ago
Riding in the middle of nowhere was a farmhouse. There was a sign that said “free water, pet the dog 10 cents” I pull up and the lady has a garden hose. A yellow lab comes trotting out from behind the house. I asked her where her donation box was for petty the dog? She said that it was just for fun. I explained that she didn’t understand the…[Read more]

Squirt chain lube is awesome. I got a sample and it said it was long lasting, so I thought I would give it a try. I went 500 miles without a squeak. I’ve used it for three years now.

I was really cranking in April but have only put in 130 miles this month since they pulled the plug on everything. I’m still guessing we will be fine by the end of July and wishing we were riding.

If it makes you feel any better, I have $3k in IOU’s from a trip I booked to Europe back in November. I doubt if I will be able to use any of them.

No chance. Not wearing one at work. Not wearing one on the bike.
