Some random musings about my time on my bike while riding across Iowa with Team Cuisine.

The art of the SAG

The first year I did the ride I felt it necessary to ride every last mile and I did. From then I realized that I am on vacation so why work so hard. So Thursday I hopped in a SAG (support and gear) vehicle and started just short of halfway.

Another awesome day on the road that equaled about 40 miles and I relaxed and rode with Mr. Tom O'Brien, another Team Cuisine teammater. We stopped in several towns and since we were so far ahead of the rest of the pack we had no lines.  I got to try Beekman's ice cream, Tender Tom's turkey tenders & had a smoothie, all things that would normally have about an hour wait.

Dinner was pork, pork, and more pork. We had a Berkshire pork loin, a bread pudding like no other I have ever had and a red quinoa salad with beets, radishes and corn. That was one of my favorites of the week.

Looks like rain for Friday but we will head on and see what happens.
