And the worst one, pictured here, was at the very end. I wasn't in good enough shape to even be out on this ride, and then this sonofabitch 43 miles in. I had to dig really ****ing deep to pull it off. |

Oh, and that hill is way worse than it looks in the photo.

Honestly one of the reasons I haven't done it again is because I'm convinced I'll have strong headwinds, camping disasters with storms, and mechanical problems. Although the Air Force Cycling Team gives some peace of mind too. |

I was thinking about RAGBRAI's first day when I rode from Sioux City to Storm Lake, and remember seeing people walk their bikes up the first hill coming out of Sioux City. You could still see the Missouri River and I'm just thinking "Dang, gonna be a LOOOOOONG week for some people."

I used the Register's bag transport service, no complaints at all. Managed to find a hotel in Sioux City, score a spot on the floor of a hotel conference room in Storm Lake, then I tent-camped in Fort Dodge and Eldora. I actually stayed with complete strangers in Cedar Falls, stayed with a high school friend in Cedar Rapids, scored a hotel in Coralville, and went straight from Davenport to Pella where I grew up. If you do it again, let me know! |

Bugeater. Tried to message you. Says you don't get PM's. You ****er!!!!!!!!!!
I need a new bike. I usually just buy a fairly cheap Schwinn or Mongoose from Walmart, and might go that route again, but figured I'd ask you some questions. I basically wanna get the best quality bike I can get for not a lot of money. I honestly ride a few miles to the gym and back at this point, but would maybe consider a nicer bike that can last me many years and be used for more in the future. Best bike brand under $200? Best under $500?
