(Forest City, Iowa) -- After watching the Tour de France early yesterday evening, I felt inspired to go on a hard bike ride. 27 miles later and having barely reached the Tour's average of 25 mph at any point during my ride, I realized the incredible talent of the Tour de France riders.
Still... it felt good to get a 27-mile ride in on a Monday evening. I followed it up with a short 9 mile ride this morning before work.
Looking at the Ragbrai route makes me excited for the journey and nervous because of the mileage. The 82.9 mile day is going to be quite the challenge!
Everyone from Waldorf who is participating in Ragbrai seems to be very excited.
We want to meet prospective students for the first time. We hope to see some familiar faces of current students, parents and alumni. And we also hope to have a safe ride and bring home plenty of fascinating stories.
Only five more days until Ragbrai begins.
I can't wait!
