Wow, mailing your bike and then having it assembled seems like a LOT of work. Glad you didn’t have to do that. Safe travels.

Hope the first day ride was a pleasant one. Found something for you to try next July, the Winfield Criterium. Those bikers sure do move fast and furious. Close to home, so we can all go & watch you. So fun to be a spectator.

Thanks. RAGBRAI is a week long bike ride across Iowa. They do this every year on a different route. Over 18,000 are on the ride this year. We are enjoying ourselves so far.
