Trans-Iowa V.3

Trans-Iowa, raise your glass.
Here is to one cue sheet at a time.
Here is to watching the sunrise once.
Here is to riding every minute of the daylight.
Here is to riding through midnight.
Here is to riding for twenty four hours straight.
Here is to watching a second consecutive sunrise on my bike.
Here is to riding 323 miles, unsupported on gravel roads in Iowa.

I am nothing but nervous, yet strangley calm two days out.  What I have in me will be tested.

Here is to giving it everything I have.
