RAGBRAI or bust!

Today was my grandfather's funeral, and it was a wonderful day. The other grandchildren and I had the honor of sharing pallbearer duties. My aunt and uncle did a spectacular job of displaying photographs of Papa's life. And these kinds of family gatherings always offer opportunities to reconnect with loved ones.

Now it's time to move on, and I truly believe Papa would say, "Now go have fun with your friends." So after the services I picked up a rental car and threw my bike in the back. Before dawn tomorrow, I'm driving to Ames, Iowa to meet with the rest of my RAGBRAI team. So get ready Iowa, here comes the fun!
