The last few weeks have been pretty busy for me, so busy
that I got a total of 94 miles in on the bike over that time period. I was on
track to have my best Trans Iowa training yet. With the winter being so mild, I
was able to have above average January and February miles. Then March hit and I went from big miles to
no miles.
Lucky
for me, there is about 5 weeks left till go time. So Trans Iowa training day 1 was
restarted Saturday, with a hundred miler through the “driftless.”
Driftless : free from glacial drift. (aka: big hills)

We left
at sunrise, rode 50 miles out to Hollendale, WI(Population 230). Then grandma cooked us lunch at an odd little
bar in town, and we rode back to Madison with full bellies.

It was
a great day on the bike; I started to suffer around mile 75. I hope my suffering was just some lingering
sickness and not an indication of my current fitness. Either way the group was riding strong
Saturday.
Good
times, good suffering.
