History:

I started spinning about winter 2002 and began riding outside. Then rode my 1st RAGBRAI on my trusty lil hybrid summer 2003 and quickly found out how hilly Iowa really is! But oh how much fun too. Shortly after RAG I did the Hilly Hundered in Indy but nothing compared to my 1st "official" ride. So haven't been back. But I did buy a road bike prior to the Hilly and that was part of the problem..I didn't know how to ride it/change gears etc. Kept losing my chain...you can't imagine my frustration. Couple that with 30 degree weather the Fri before the start and ants in my tent. I was definitely not a happy camper! Literally! : ) Well a few years later I love my bike (2004 Specialized Sequoia). I don't now how many miles I have but I know where you can find me the last week in July every year....RAGBRAI in Iowa. This will be my 4th! I thought I was only a beach vacation person but one trip with the tour de corn and many many pork chops and pie later I will continue to ride if only for that one event. Who knew? : )
