All my bags are packed I'm ready to goI'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
Looking at my bags packed I hear this song… Not the John Denver version, definitely the Armageddon version. When I was younger I owned about 3 VHS movies,( and now I own about 3 DVDs). But Armageddon was one of those. I watched it more than I’ve ever watched any other movie.
But It’s true, every place I go, I think of you! I’ll be blogging and constantly thinking of a tweet to send out to our viewers and my followers. Anything tagged #RAGBRAI13 will show up on our webpage at http://www.whotv.com/sports/ragbrai/.
I set up my tent in my apartment this week. I works. I tried to set it up on top of my bed, (the wood floors just weren’t appealing,) but it hit the fan.
I dropped off my bike at the load site this evening and I leave for Glenwood tomorrow morning. Here are a few great tips I’ve gotten in the last few days
-Hydrate!
-Ear plugs and eye mask are a must-have
-If you hurt, stop. For, at least, a little while.
-Strike up conversations. Not only does it make the miles fly by, you hear some amazing stories.
Now the time has come to leave you. (but I’ll be blogging all week!)
One more time let me kiss you (or shake your hand)
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say…
See you on the road! RAGBRAI XXXIX
