I've been training and training, rode 50 miles on the 4th and was still marginally human after the effort. Most days it's either 20 miles or up and down hills. Every day when I start out feeling full of PD and then get on my bike, my symptoms just disappear, at least while I'm riding and for a while after. I'm eager to try RAGBRAI again. We leave for Iowa this week so we can get in some fly fishing along the way. I'm curious as to how I'll do with tying on the flies, casting and keeping my balance in the rivers. Won't know until I try. I'm probably nuts for doing this Iowa ride, but it will be another story. More rejection letters for the book. Chin up Nan. I'm not accustomed to waking up nearly every morning to another rejection.. My mother would tell me I'm building character. I think I'm character enough. I ramble. I'll post along the road when I'm able. Be well.
