If you're from Iowa you'll understand the following comment.  Come RAGBRAI, I was starting to thing that I'd have to secure a set of snow tires for my bike.  Luckily, it appears the snow is melting, the roof glaciers have been sent packing, and soon it will be biking as usual.

Rumor has it that the full route details will be released soon.  In fact, it may be so soon that I won't be here to post the full RAGBRAI XXXVIII until I get back from vacation.  I know, I know, vacations are a lot of work but I'm a team player.  If I didn't volunteer to go sailing in the Caribbean, someone else would have to suffer through all the tough, agonizing decisions I had to.  So, I'll be back on the 22nd of March and if the full route has been released,  I'll post it then.

Cheers everyone!
