Where's Phil?
Sutton, Nebraska according to his Web site. It's his third of five nights in Nebraska, which sounds painful. He'll only spend four nights in Iowa -- Sunday in Atlantic, Monday in Des Moines, Tuesday in Iowa City and Wednesday in Davenport. Details are lacking, but it now seems he'll leave Iowa City Wednesday morning. Since GNC is sponsoring the ride, I'm guessing Coral Ridge Mall or the Old Capital Center. I have the luxury of being on vacation, but if anyone else is available I would love some company.

Friday ride is on
With a forecast high temperature of 70, our Friday noon ride is on this week. Anyone interested and available should meet at Clark Racquet Center at noon. We'll ride from there to and from the trail for about an hour.
Also, if anyone wants to join me riding with Phil Koeghan from the Amazing Race, let me know. I believe I had my dates wrong and he'll actually be riding out of Iowa City on Tuesday, April 21. I would love to have company on the early morning drive to Iowa City.

Amazing Ride?
It's long past time for an update here and, since no one else has taken the leap, you get me again. If you haven't heard, Phil Koeghan from the Amazing Race is biking across the country to raise money for MS. He's scheduled to ride from Des Moines to Iowa City on Tuesday, April 21, and from Iowa City to Davenport on Wednesday, April 22. See the Web site for free registration info. Weather permitting, I'm tempted to escort him out of Iowa City.
Also, Friday noon rides from Clark Racquet Center at Coe will begin soon. The ride is on if the projected daytime high is 60 degrees and there's no precipitation at the time. We've also been invited to join the Lizard Kings on their Thursday night rides.
They usually leave Sammy's about 6:30 p.m. Thursday evenings and ride to The Red Frog and then to Jersey's and back down to the Chrome Horse. Some people make an evening of it. Others just meet and ride.
Saturday June 6 is the Miller Rock and Ride. I'll be out of town for a wedding, but it starts at the Chrome Horse. More info can be found on Bike Iowa at:
