Look What Came in the Mail Today......

My RAGBRAI Jersey Arrived--Hooray?

It has been awhile since I have posted at Parent Grapevine.   These last few weeks have been extremely busy, with a couple of preschool photo shoots, a school auction, middle school graduation, and my son's 14th birthday.  Whew!  Thankfully, my blogging partner and friend has been busy keeping you well informed with movie reviews, tips for graduation, etc.  As I'm sure you will agree, she is a wealth of information!

Anyway, I'm ready to blog more regularly and what better topic to write about than the RAGBRAI.  Today, I had a package arrive that reminded me (as many of my friends have been doing) that it is time to take my RAGBRAI training more seriously (two rides of 26 miles and 19 miles is not going to cut it).  My RAGBRAI jersey and bike band is here and I need to literally get back in the saddle--it is time to toughen up my backside.

Yes, in 40 days, 8 hours and 50 minutes (per the official site), I will be pedaling across Iowa with my dad, sister, husband, and a few of my dad's good buddies.  If you are wondering why, check out my last RAGBRAI blog post and you'll see it is a ride of love (that or I am crazy).

Stay tuned as I keep you posted on my training (or lack thereof) over the next few weeks.  And if possible, I'll be blogging from the cornfields come July!
