Slip ‘N Slide

BACK ISSUES, bicycling /

Slip ‘N Slide 🛝 I’ve Turned Farmer! Here it is, RAGBRAI Day Six; and I haven’t mentioned Slip ‘N Slide yet. In fact, I never even noticed any during my ride. Although they look like fun, they probably aren’t wise for someone my age. I did, however, discover another version of Slip ‘N Slide: my sleeping pad slid all over the floor of the tent; and the sleeping bag slid around on top of the sleeping pad. I never knew what might end up under me. That was enough Slip ‘N Slide for me! RAGBRAI Day Six saw us going through Fairbank; and here I turned farmer! I never dreamed that I’d one day become a tractor driver.  This was a shortish day; but even so, I arrived at Pork City later than I would have liked. And it was hard to believe that this was the last evening of RAGBRAI. Last Evening 🧳 I spent a good bit of time that last evening packing my duffle bags. After a week of trying to cram everything into those bags, I knew there wouldn’t be time in the morning. Next year I’ll get me a sixty-liter bag! Since the flood of Night Four, I was also hoping for another night without a downpour. One deluge was more than enough.. At least I never got caught in a downpour with lightning while on the road. RAGBRAI went by in a hurry; and it was hard to believe that we were to the last evening already. One last night of Slip ‘N Slide in my own tent!

In Line

BACK ISSUES, bicycling /

In Line 〰️ Let’s get in line for 𝚷! RAGBRAI sure has a way of keeping you in line. In line for food; for the KYBO; etcetera. During Day Five, I rolled into one town; and saw the sign for 𝚷. I loved it; and a few yards farther on, a pair of signs: “For the slower ones … ; Pie”. Despite all the hype about RAGBRAI and pie, I had pi … 𝚷 … er, whatever it is, only once. Cherry crumble, or something like that. I had hoped to find Amish pie; and try shoofly pie! Well, there’s always next year. During RAGBRAI DAY Five, I managed without the SAG wagon; but I still had to walk some hills. Those kids on the Dream Team were putting me to shame. It wasn’t quite as hot today; and I got a Thelma’s Mint Double Chocolate ice cream sandwich! That was one of the items on  my must-try foods list. Drying Out 🌵 After last night’s mega-downpour, I and a number of other riders had clothing and other items that needed drying out. Fortunately, Pork Belly Ventures organized a laundry run for us that evening, for which we were very grateful. I wasn’t sure about care instructions for my sleeping bag; and didn’t dare put the dryer on high heat. So I still had a damp sleeping bag; but that was much better than a sodden one. That thing is incredibly heavy when it’s soaked! The weather was warm enough that I didn’t really need to sleep inside the bag; so it didn’t matter that it wasn’t completely dry. I hadn’t used Pork Belly’s mid-week laundry service; but since I had the chance, I washed some clothes. It was good to have a chance to catch up. I was glad the weather was drying out, too. The last thing any of us needed was a repeat of the previous night’s weather. I hoped we weren’t in line for more T-storms! Oh, and speaking of In Line, I did spot a group of in-line skaters one day!

Cornfields and KYBOs

BACK ISSUES, bicycling /

Cornfields and KYBOs 🌾 This is Minnesota, not Iowa; but it’s a cornfield! RAGBRAI 2025 Day Four brings me to cornfields and KYBOs — no, not that kind of corn! Although I admit it’s possible to develop corns during a week of long daily rides! One of the time-honored to-do items for RAGBRAI newbies is to p** in a cornfield. There are cornfields aplenty along the route, and KYBOs in towns; but I didn’t visit a cornfield until Day Four. It really isn’t bad in there, especially if the ground isn’t wet from downpours. I had to bail again today! 😞 RAGBRAI Day Four was another day of relentless headwinds; and my left knee was bothering me a bit. On top of it all, I had developed a blister from so much walking in bike shoes the day before. Fortunately it bothered me much less while riding than while walking; but it was still uncomfortable. At the day’s meeting town, I ended up on a super-SAG, aka a school bus, with many other riders. Then, during the night, I found a new dirty word! New Dirty Word 🧼 You can learn a new dirty word anywhere; but I never thought that R-A-I-N would be among them. The night of RAGBRAI Day Four proved me wrong. Starting about 10:00 or 11:00 pm, a T-storm broke out; with lots of lightning and a seemingly endless, torrential downpour. Good thing I didn’t need to look for cornfields and KYBO’s just then! It soon felt like I had some water leaking through the top of my tent; and next I realized that it felt like I was lying in a river! I hadn’t especially noticed; but my tent was in a low spot. My sleeping bag got drenched; and so did other items. My phone seemed to stay dry, thank goodness! Around 3:00 am I got up and began trying to dry some things with my microfiber towel; but with standing water at least a half-inch deep in my tent, the towel kept getting into the water! No wonder R-A-I-N is a new dirty word to me. Incidentally, the lightning up there is peculiar. Here at home, it typically is a split-second flash. That night, it was a slow-motion on-and-off, with the “on” lasting one or even two whole seconds. I guess they never heard of greased lightning. Massage 💆🏼 By this time in the week, my leg muscles needed something to ease them. Although Pork Belly offered a massage service, I didn’t use it. I chose a cheaper option: I brought along a massage ball. The orange one only, with soft, longish spikes. There wasn’t room in my bags for all three! It was mainly my quads and hamstrings that needed attention; and I would roll the ball over them before I went to sleep. I think this mini-massage helped keep my leg muscles from turning to concrete!

A Piggy-Wig Stood

BACK ISSUES, bicycling, Outdoors /

A Piggy-Wig Stood 🐖 What would Edward Lear think? To paraphrase Edward Lear, “And there in the cubby, a piggy-wig stood!” As I was with Pork Belly, I thought this little pig would be the perfect way to mark my charging cubby. Sure, there are letters and numbers (letters horizontal; numbers vertical, I think it was; or was it the other way around?) to help you find your cubby; but who wants to try to remember, say, K6 at five o’clock in the morning? A visual marker is much easier. I only had to remember, there a piggy-wig stood! RAGBRAI 2025 Day Three was another tough one. I tried to think KYLL; but it’s hard to keep at it in the face of relentless hills and headwinds. KYLL 🦵🏼 If only I were better at KYLL: Keep Your Legs Loose. The repeated hills and relentless headwinds were a killer combination! I tried to keep going; but for one thing I’m not very fast anyhow; and in a pass-through town, it’s easy to lose an hour and more by the time I can get something to eat, and visit the KYBO. At about 6:00 pm, I had to bail out. I stilll had 10 miles or so to go; the roads re-open to public traffic at six; and SAG service also stops. On top of all that, it was starting to rain. Just then a SAG wagon went past; and I waved it down. Luckily there was still room  for  one more passenger/bike. We saw a beautiful rainbow; so the rain had an upside. But the SAG dropped us at the main campground; and Pork Belly camp was a good walk away. I say “walk” because I couldn’t face any more hills that day. Unfortunately my cycling shoes are NOT good for walking; even if I practice KYLL while I do it. My right bunion got a sizeble blister on it. Ouch. On Strike? 🪧 About mid-week, my electronics seemed to go on strike. My cell phone kept running out of charge. It was OK before I went to RAGBRAI; and it’s been all right since I got home. Was it the charging blocks? Those blocks seemed to work all right at home, before the trip!  I had a similar problem with my headlight; and the heart rate monitor refused to work all week! Why? I got  new battery put in within the last few months. After a few days, I quit wearing it. I’m glad my legs didn’t go on strike!

Out of State

BACK ISSUES, bicycling /

Out of State 🚴🏿 Hey, where’s Iowa?   RAGBRAI 2025 Day Two was a first: the RAGBRAI route went out of state, for the first time it the event’s history. We left Iowa for 15 miles in Minnesota! I had never been to Minnesota before; so it was interesting to see a little bit of it. RAGBRAI Day Two was a short one. We had cloud cover much of the day; and that’s always welcome in hot weather. Especially if it doesn’t rain. While we were out of state, I wish I’d hd more time to say, Hello Minnesota; but I sensed that my bike was still having mechanical issues. Hello Minnesota! 👋  Hello, Minnesota? I wish I could have said a proper hello! At Brown Park in Minnesota, there was a Welcome to Minnesota sign somewhere; but I didn’t have time to look for it. My bike still seemed to have brake rub; and I needed to get it taken care of. Spoke N Wheel had a booth there; and I headed for it. The problem turned out to be more than a little brake rub. My rear wheel was out of true; and the tire was rubbing the chain stay. No wonder I got leg cramps yesterday! I thought I was working hard agains hills and headwinds; but I had a wheel that wasn’t turning properly. In addition, the cassette was a bit loose. RAGBRAI Day Two was proving to be another tough one. There was also a twisted spoke. Then I remembered a near-fall shortly before I shipped my bicycle to Iowa; and my right foot jammed into the rear wheel. It seems that this mishap caused more damage than I thought! I scarcely had time to say, Hello Minnesota; before I had to say, Goodbye, Minnesota! Trying out the Menu 🥞 First pancakes in years! Today, I believe it was (I wish I could have taken better notes!) I really began trying out the menu. Chris Cakes was on my must-try list; and I have to say, they are good! 👍 Of course, you have to stand in line to get them!   Beekman’s Ice Cream [connection to their site is unfortunately not secure]  was another must-try. They say, listen for the popcorn sound; and you’ve found it. Ir’s worth waiting in line for this treat! They have four flavors: chocolate; vanilla; raspberry; and peach. I got half chocolate/half raspberry; and when I got Beekman’s again later in the week, I chose peach. I also tried a “walking taco”; and was it today that I got a slice of pie? Gosh, so much food everywhere!  Trying out the menu is admittedly rather costly; and usually the servings were huge. I’d prefer smaller helpings and a lower price; but RAGBRAI makes a lot of riders very hungry!

RAGBRAI on the COB

BACK ISSUES, bicycling, Outdoors /

RAGBRAI on the COB 🌽 The COB! RAGBRAI on the COB helps us Porkers find our way around Pork City. It’s posted each day; and unfortunately, most days I didn’t get around to taking a photo of it. This Campground Orientation Board, aka the COB, shows where everything is: tents; showers; and so on. My phone screen is small; and squinting at such a tiny map doesn’t help me much. I usually just asked my way around. Next time, though, I must pay more attention to RAGBRAI on the COB, so I don’t feel so disoriented! On RAGBRAI Day One, I visited the charging trailer to get my power block; got some breakfast; packed up my stuff; and visited the Shower Thingy, aka the water fill station. Then I could take off for RAGBRAI Day One! Not the Best Day 😒 RAGBRAI Day One, I must confess, was not the best day. I thought I had charged up my Garmin; but apparently I didn’t. About five miles into the ride, it gave me a Low Battery warning. A few miles later, it gave me a Critical Battery Warning; so I shut it off. Then it began to feel like my bike had brake rub. I stopped and got off; and fiddled with the rear brake assembly a bit. It seemed to help; so I went on. Of course I noticed the climbs. The climbs weren’t all that bad per se; but there were so many of them! Then the headwinds got going. As though climbing weren’t hard enough! I kept plodding along; and that afternoon, a mile or two past May City, muscle cramps set in. First my right hamstring; and, moments later, my left quad. I figured that the onset of muscle cramps meant it was time to bail out. Bail Out 😞 Frustrating though it  is, sometimes you have to bail out. I had just taken a swig of electrolyte drink; and was trying to get the bottle back into its cage. I was on an upward slope; and was having such trouble with that bottle that I flung it to the ground so I could stop and pick it up. I nearly fell over; but luckily some kind of go-cart for RAGBRAI was right behind me; and they got me to a SAG wagon. I tried to think what the cause of my cramps might have been; and was puzzled. I had downed a good quart or so of electrolyte drink; plus several liters of water. Even so, was I dehydrated? Had I eaten too little? Whatever it was, I had to bail out. Not the best day; RAGBRAI Day One was down the tubes. But soon I was checking out RAGBRAI on the COB again.

My B*** Hurts?

BACK ISSUES, bicycling /

My B*** Hurts? 😬 More than one YouTube I’ve viewed about RAGBRAI has someone saying, “My b*** hurts”. Is there something wrong with me? I didn’t have that problem. When I first began riding a two-wheeler, I did feel stiff/sore “back there” after a ride; but this discomfort wore off after a week or so. Are the people saying, “My b *** hurts” referring to muscle aches; or skin irritation? For the former, gradually longer rides are the solution. Chamois Butt’r helps with the latter. I tend to carry a tube rather than the little packets; even though it weighs more. I tried the packets; and never needed to use up a whole one at once. It was a nuisance to try to fold down the top of the packet once I’d torn it open. The important thing is having that product on hand, so I won’t be complaining that my b*** hurts! Riding Again 🚲 I began riding again today; although it was a short, easy one. I was on the hybrid; and not bothering about heart rate and whatever. Incidentally, my heart rate monitor wouldn’t went on strike all last week. After three days, I quit wearing it. It’s great to be riding again, however short the distance. I don’t want to wait too long, or I might start griping that my b*** hurts when I do get back into the saddle! My road bike is in transit; and should arrive late this week or early next. Since I got home last Sunday evening, we’ve had very hot weather; even some extreme heat warnings! This afternoon we got a T-storm; and I hope that cools things off a little. It will make riding again more comfortable!   This blog/page may contain affiliate links. “We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.” ABOUT ME I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle.

RAGBRAI 2025 Day Zero

BACK ISSUES, bicycling /

RAGBRAI 2025 Day Zero 0️⃣ Let’s Go to Orange City!  RAGBRAI 2025 Day Zero saw me on the Pork Belly shuttle from Omaha, Nebraska to Orange City, Iowa. Along the route, I was amused to spot a sign indicating how far it was to Mondamin. A town called “cornstarch”? Well, after all, Nebraska is the Cornhusker State! The shuttle left Omaha at 8:15 am; and when we got to Orange City at around 10:30, I had to visit the Pork Belly information booth to get my packet. This included my tent number; and baggage tags with my tent number. Pork Belly services not only include tent set-up/take down; they also take your luggage from truck to tent and back. The tent number on the bag(s) let the crew know which bag(s) go to which tent. Am I ever grateful that I didn’t have to lug my two duffle bags around every day. They were heavy! But on that first day, I did have to carry my bags to the tent. Fortunately, some kind person helped me. In addition to their weight, my bags hung almost down to the ground; and hit my legs as I walked. After finding my tent, I had to pick up my bicycle. I should have given it more of a test ride! I immediately noticed that the saddle was too high; and had to get that fixed. I let it go at that, which was a major error. As RAGBRAI went on, I kept having various mechanical issues; and my local bike shop suspects that some damage occurred during shipment. I didn’t get around to hitting the Expo until nearly 2 pm. RAGBRAI 2025 Day Zero kind of slipped away from me! And my tent was right on the edge of a slight slope. I’d step outside and fall over because the ground wasn’t flat. Hitting the Expo 🎪 Meeting Ryan Vn Duzer!   It was rather frustrating, not hitting the Expo until at almost 2 pm. I would have liked to spend more time there; but I had to find my tent and get my bicycle before I went running off. My tent wasn’t a Night Cat tent; but it was a tent! I also had to get some idea of the layout of the Pork Belly camp. My tent, it turned out, was a good way from the amenities; and I got tired from all that walking back and forth. When I finally did reach the Expo, it seemed quite sprawling. I tried to find the meeting for RAGBRAI newbies; but unfortunately didn’t succeed. RAGBRAI 2025 Day Zero didn’t go quite as planned. As I was walking around, I unexpectedly came across Ryan Van Duzer! I’ve watched a good many of his YouTube videos; and it was a great pleasure meeting him. I even had the honor of getting a pic taken with him! I also met  ridewithdanusa at the same time; and my apologies to Dan for not getting a pic taken with him, too. Hitting the Expo did let me try a RAGBRAI food. I think it was a cheddar/bacon sandwich, and wish I had made notes about it when I got back to my tent; but I needed to head for dinner and a shower. After that, I had to head for the sack. It didn’t get really dark  until about 9 pm; but even so, there was little time for journaling before it got too dark for writing. And I needed to rest up for the start of the ride the next day!

LMNT Sampler

BACK ISSUES, bicycling, equipment, Food /

LMNT Sampler 🧂 LMNT Sampler lets you try a variety of LMNT (pronounced “element”) flavors. Each stick of powder supplies 1000 mg of sodium; plus magnesium and potassium. Just mix contents of one packet with 16-32 ounces of liquid. LMNT Sampler contains one stick each of eight flavors. I’ve tried them with the idea that this product might be a good choice if this year’s RAGBRAI turns out to be as hot as the 2023 event. I suppose I’d need to use the stuff regularly for a few weeks before I can be sure it works better than, say, Biosteel. I can’t say I’m crazy about the taste of this product. I love salt; but somehow salty electrolyte drinks don’t appeal to me. But LMNT is sugar-free; and contains no gluten or fillers. It isn’t, of course, recommended to folks who have hypertension; but supposedly many people actually need more salt. So fill up your bottle with your choice of LMNT, and take off! Beating the Heat ♨️ Beating the heat might be the name of the game during RAGBRAI; and a South Sport Cool Rag sure will help! I’ve been doing without it this past week, because I washed it; and wanted it to get thoroughly dry before packing it into a duffle bag. If it’s coo in the morning, I can stuff the cool rag into a  Camel-Bak pocket until I need it. I’m constantly mullig over what all I need to keep handy; the big ride begins day after tomorrow!   This blog/page may contain affiliate links. “We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.” ABOUT ME I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle.
