| Comments: RAGBRAI LII Day 1 Orange City to Milford, IA. Early morning (0530), humid but FAR better than MS/LA. ATemp:73F, MDP:70F. Wind from East??!! Mostly crossheadwind to dead headwind. Slow rolls through towns lower avg speed. Rode mostly solo but the headwind/cross headwind really hurt knees by end. 1550' vertical, but wind was way worse than hills. Legs/kneesnsore by end. Felt like a MUCH longer and faster ride than metrics would indicate. |

| Comments: R LII - Day #4. 61st Bday.. ;-) Mother Nature was pissed at me for unknown reasons and decided to punish 25k+ other people as colateral damage. 90%+ of the route was dead into a 15-25+ mph headwind during a heat advisory. Was the hardest day I've had in a while!! ATemp:85F, MaxT: 96F, MDP:76F, 1650' vertical. Wind was FAR more painful than rolling hills. Was completely hammered by end! |

| Comments: R LII - Day 7: Oelwin to Guttenburg, IA. Hilliest day by far with 2 relatively large steep hills right near end of tour, kinda brutal. I had off/on stomach issues and definitely breathing issues at start and up 2nd hill (steepest, sustained 8%+). VERY humid most of ride as mostly in fog and the brief light ride rain. ATemp:75F, MDP:77F. Couldn't breath at all right from start as we started immediate ascending rolling hills. Could barely keep up with Steve/Lori at start. Stopped for pie and iced coffee and midway. Stomach did not like all that sugar. Had to descend into a town for urgent Kybo stop. The had to climb out. Made 1st sustained 5-7% climb, but knees got sore. Had to walk part of 2nd 5-8%+ sustained climb. Felt WAY better after that and hammered to Guttenburg. 2450' climbing. I definitely need to lose weight. |
