I got this wild idea Sunday night that I wanted to do RAGBRAI next year... and then I swiftly tricked Ticha into agreeing to do it with me (though if I'm being honest, there wasnt much trickery involved--I'm pretty sure she was itching for an adventure.) Reeled in a couple more suckers, Emily & Chloe, and we got ourselves a good time, I suspect!
Of course step 1 was getting a bike. I havent been on a bike since my modeling days in Ticha's Master thesis, so yeah... After more research than I could stand, and scouring the earth for a suitable bike, I finally acquired my new best friend--a cannondale caad13 womens 105, for all you needs out there. (Note to self: buying a bike the year after a fancy new pandemic graces the earth is a special kind of challenge. Slim pickin's and long wait times, if you have patience and want to be extra choosey!)
Apparently step 2 is blogging about it, bc apparently Ticha is the boss of me, and she said so.
