Squeaking up the summit

Today we rode to the top of Grandview Mountain, I mean, the city of Grandview. 24 miles roundtrip, with a nice stop at TJ's diner for some french toast. The place came recommended by our cyclist neighbor, Abby. It was a serious workout, sprinkled with hills and duck crossing signs. In fact, we passed Duck Rd on our way (no joke, we didn't know that street existed before today). Cars were generally friendly too, which was super nice. A good day!

Dear Duck Dales,
I notice the training regimen seems to be focused on food destinations more often as the distances increase. Perhaps you should emulate the RAGBRAI riders in their quest for the perfect piece of PIE! (In my opinion, the rider's perfect fuel.) Who are we to argue with what gets them across the state of Iowa? I suggest the Duck Dales devote a day trip to ride/pie/ride/pie/ride/pie and compare results to previous weeks. If it works, we could submit an article to the bike magazines! My nomination for Best Pie would be at the O'Farrell Sisters restaurant in Okoboji. I'm just saying....
