Word of the day
Word of the day: San-froid. noun, coolness of mind; calmness; composure: Puts a whole new spin on Douglas Adams expression “hoopy frood.” Sort of. They sound kind of similar-ish.

My first century.
I unintentionally biked my first century, or 100 mile ride, today. [[MORE]]The planned course for today was supposed to be 90 or so miles, but was listed as 85. It started slow, with rolling hills and the occasional real climber, all headed southward. After about 30 minutes, the soreness of last nights adventures set in(more on that later). We stopped and had pancakes and sausages in a little...

5:20 AM
It’s early. Really early. We woke around 5:20 AM to catch up with an old friend and meet a bus to go to some mysterious location to start the infamous RAGBRAI. An adventure, if you ask me. There is something special about this place at 5 AM however, well there is something special to 5 AM, because, you know, I don’t see a whole lot of 5 AM’s. I’ll upload a picture of the...
