Resolutions

Hello Possums!

How exciting.  Another brand new year; another clean slate.  I always seem to spend New Years Day wondering what the next 365 days will be like.  I see lots of bike rides, traveling, and time with my niece and nephew ahead.  And who knows, maybe I'll find love!

So... resolutions.  Last year's list was a mixed bag.  I was supposed to save money: BUST.  And I wanted lose a bunch of weight and get back into my skinny jeans: SCORE!  So let's call it a wash.  What does 2014's list look like?  Well, I've learned that long lists don't work, so I'll keep it simple:

Ride my bike more (goal is 5,200 miles - easy!)

Quit social media (is there a 12 step group?)

and

Spend more time with Yoo Hoo

I made a big decision in the last few days that will change my life a lot in 2014.  Rather than ride ALC this summer as I always do, I will be returning to Iowa for RAGBRAI, a 7 day bike ride from the Missouri River to the Mississippi.  I rode RAGBRAI in 2010 and it was the most fun I've ever had on my bike, and one of the best weeks of my life.  Imagine seven days of cycling, beer, pie and fireflies.  Families, music, pork, and corn.  Up to 25,000 cyclists will participate in this event, the oldest and largest cycling event in the world.  I'd love to have company, so if you're into a wild and crazy cycling adventure that just can't be beat, check out http://ragbrai.com/ and register today!

Happy New Year to you all!

RIDE BIKES!!!!
