Bikes!

Last night, Mel and I took our bikes in to Northtowne Cycling and Fitness to get them tuned up. We need to get them in shape for RAGBRAI XXXVI. This summer's RAGBRAI will be more challenging than last year's ride as the route this summer is supposed to be the eleventh hilliest RAGBRAI ever. The amount of total climb will be apparent after last year's ride which was the third least hilly RAGBRAI. Incidentally, my first two RAGBRAIs both appear in the top ten list for most climbing. While at the bike shop, we also checked out some Burleys. We figure if we can bring Emma along on our rides with us, we will be able to get more training miles in this spring and summer.
