Martin: Company where I was working today.
Me: My niece, April Jane & I after our 20 mile bike ride with Bob, my sister and brother-in-law. This was a training ride for April since she and I have committed to doing RAGBRAI this year. RAGBRAI is an annual week long organized bike ride across Iowa and this year's route will be going through my home town, Elk Horn and right by the farm where I grew up. It also has an overnight stay in Atlantic, where my mom lives (so we'll stay with her one night) and in many other towns where we have relatives. It will be a grand adventure!! I've done it once before, when I was April's age: 16. April is a good athlete but she's never road biked before so Bob and I are going to help her train for 6 weeks before the big event which is July 24th to July 30th. It will be us and thousands of other cyclists biking 454 miles across the state.
Jane - You will have a wonderful time not only because you will be with your niece, but traveling through home territory. Your mother will love having you both stay with her.
