| 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. |

| Comments: Bikes, BLues & Bayous ride in Greenwood, MS. Slightly cooler than TT, ATemp:78F, MDP:74F. Ride started GREAT, legs felt GREAT, met several riders from Dhead (later ghosted me). Dropped from front front group, but went out solo at 21-22mph. Formed a paceline relatively quickly, pulled for 1st 3 miles, then rotated to back. Legs felt good until 1st flat at 16 miles. Changed tire, gave up trying to fast but still had good legs until 26 mile rest stop. As I was leaving, rear tire FLAT AGAIN!! I was PISSED. Told SAG driver if I get 1 more flat I'm giving up. Was last person out of the rest stop. 6 miles later had 3rd flat!! SERIOSULY PISSED!!! |

| Comments: Well... last ride on TT? Last ride before the MS house is sold. TT sure got its revenge on me! LA schools started, tons of traffic on return leg. Still very swampy but not quite as bad. ATemp:80F, MDP:75F. Crashed/fell over at an intersection and used my expensive Garmin watch to break the fall and protect my bike. I was PISSED due to dumb ass driver!! Bike handlebar, brake levers still got scratched. Rode easy on way on, then cleaned house. Very physical day!! |

| Comments: Tanglefoot ride after stressful house cleaning, stressful house closing, stressful house repairs. Felt VERY sluggish on the bike and not terribly motivated, had long drive ahead after the ride. Garmin claims only 600' vertical but sure seemed like much more. More headwind than tailweind but a significant amount. Humid ATemp: 75F |
