I missed the second checkpoint by minutes.

"Iowa is....cough, cough" (Someone says "Not Flat.") and you point emphatically at them. That was so cool! Anyway, I thought it was.<br /><br />And your story is all the more special since it was your trial by fire introduction to Iowa and gravel road riding. <br /><br />Job well done! Thanks for coming out. I enjoyed meeting you and I hope to meet you again somewhere down the trail......Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199089011138395175.post-88898695568623498162009-05-13T12:13:00.000-07:002009-05-13T12:13:00.000-07:00George, your endeavors are always so amazing to re...George, your endeavors are always so amazing to read about. What sets you apart is that you are truly an endurance rider in that you not only have the ability to compete and finish but the love of the sport. Keep on rolling and soaring to new goal heights. Then the rest of us can live vicariously. ;-)Mary Elizabeth (MErider)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05973578602153187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199089011138395175.post-22769499640036280782009-05-13T08:27:00.000-07:002009-05-13T08:27:00.000-07:00Velocio1-- Thank you for reading my blog.

Unfortunately the timing never works out. <br /><br />I believe you are correct about the two week injury healing comment coming from Lon and Susan. It must have come from them. My friend, Gerd, stopped by to see me yesterday. He was all jazzed up about having completed a PAC Tour on Route 66. I was envious;).<br /><br />MrDaveyGie-- Thank you for reading my blog. I took a quick glance at your blog as well. I like the recurring format of your pictures- taken from behind your handlebars -- literally. Love Pitty too. <br /><br />Buckshot77-- your turn in the barrel is coming soon. I want to here about your Almanzo 100. As far as suffering together there is sufferfest available to you every weekend here in California. It will happen. We just need the right timing.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227627205723087825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9199089011138395175.post-28386517144112446512009-05-13T05:42:00.000-07:002009-05-13T05:42:00.000-07:00Nice write up George.
