Holy Smoley Cycling Pigs Getting Bigger

What a great day to be alive riding the bike. This morning during our 50 miler through Montrose – hilly Montrose – I talked to Greg and Leone two native Iowa folks. As it turns out Greg’s home town of Rock Rapids Iowa is the starting point for this years RAGBRAI. Holy Smoley he has to go at least for the start of the ride so our little group just got bigger by two with Leone as stoker in their tandem.

Our little training ride this morning turned out to be hilly with about 3,000 feet of climbing during the 50 miles that we spun along to Montrose. I love the Garmin Edge 305. Not only does it give you the route you traversed but the elevation during the ride too. Thats pretty cool I think.

Sunday ride will be much of the same with our little jaunt down to South Pasadena and then up through the Rose Bowl after a rest stop in the local coffee shop. I will try to put in some extra miles Sunday just because RAGBRAI is coming in 147 days yippee!!

For those of you that do not know about RAGBRAI, I suggest finding out about this 10,000 rider rolling party through Iowa the last week of July. For those of you that are possibly interested just drop me a note or check out the Cycling Pigs web site
