And do I gather that you only just qualified to post in this forum? If I read that right, then happy birthday, and welcome!
Yes. I turned 50 just before RAGBRAI started. The picture above is the first time I wore the 50+ jersey.
I got way behind on hydration and on food. I thought I was drinking enough, but apparently not, and my appetite suffered. But with some tips from fellow riders and with reduced temperatures I was able to return to the road for the rest of the ride. It was a fantastic experience.
