on friday, i took my bike on the train to a nearby city and then biked back on paths for a total of about 50 miles. my knee was not happy about it, but it feels fine now. i’m also committed to doing RAGBRAI next year, which opens up registration tomorrow!
i’m doing national novel writing month, and i’m a good 20k+ words into a story of some kind. i’ve only ever written short roleplaying posts with a group of friends, so this is a whole new beast for me! i’m not a plotter at all, so i don’t really know where the story is going. i’ll figure it out in editing (or never), haha.
My former boss is from Iowa and still maintains strong ties there. He did RAGBRAI a year or two ago with several of his friends from college. Well, I don’t think he did the whole thing; only 2 or 3 days of it. Either way, he loved it. I kinda looked at him as if he were crazy when he said he was going to do that, but I do think it sounds like a fun time!
the longest ride i’ve done previously was ~200 miles over four days… but i had to carry all my camping gear with me since it was self-supported. i’m looking forward to doing this ride with minimal baggage since the support vehicles carry your camping stuff each day!
That’s so cool that you’re doing NaNoWriMo! I’ve always felt too daunted by lack of plot. Let us know how it goes!
thank you! it is very daunting, but i’m just winging it and seeing what happens. i am using a solo RPG as sort of a framework for where the story goes, and that has worked really well so far in the sense that i never feel truly stuck.
That’s such a cool idea!
