Well, after driving over 1600 miles and being on the road "time" wise...25 plus hours, I am in Iowa!
First off, I had a really rough start with vehicle problems which caused me to get delayed into LA. The Sea to Sea couple (Henry and Nancy DeJager), that I was going to ride with left at their normal time and I made the decision of continuing to RAGBRAI all by myself...I just couldn't not go and disappoint all those who are supporting me, let alone I am riding this in memory of my Mom.
The drive was uneventful and went rather fast, I listened to a few Christian Books on tape and time flew (Deeanne Gist books). I finally caught up with the DeJager's Thursday evening and spent about an hour going over the past few days and my misfortunes!
So, tomorrow morning I will be shuttled from the Omaha area to Glenwood and meet-up with the rest of the Sea to Sea cyclist. We will finish the get our RAGBRAI registration and receive our "wristbands" then set-up camp for the night, which once again "tent camping"!
fI'll update as I can!! :)
