My husband finished the @ragbrai.bsky.social ride today, unfortunately his bicycle seat broke before he reached the end, so he rode the last 8 miles standing up. 😄
This Brooks saddle is the same one he used when he rode RAGBRAI back in 1984, it is over 43 years old and had over
50k miles on it!

Sneak peak at the custom handlebar bags we're doing for @ragbrai.bsky.social

They'll be available from RAGBRAI ahead of the ride or from either of us at the expo if any are left.

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED TO GO TO IOWA

And the best part, he is taking the same bike! 😄 (maybe a couple other bikes too)
