It was really a great week as I was able to bike everyday with my daughter Britta who does Ragbrai (bike ride across Iowa) with me. We trained doing a lot of hills because Iowa really is quite hilly which surprises everyone.
I have now biked 904 miles. Hopefully by the end of week 6, I will have biked 1,000 miles and I will then start posting along with miles the amount of money that I have raised to date.
On Saturday morning just as Britta and I started out her front tire went flat. Since neither of us had ever changed a tire it was quite an episode. Four tubes later and an hour and fifteen minutes, we finally were successful. The problem was we kept puncturing the tubes trying to get the tire back on. Therefore our ride on Saturday was cut short.
On Sunday we rode from Burbank to Seal Beach through downtown LA, Vernon, Maywood and then caught a bike path in Maywood that took us to Long Beach. The rest of the way was easy navigating.
The sites along the way were fabulous!
Thanks again everyone for all your support!!
