Not too much to add today. Lots of decompression going on here. Elected to wait another day before getting on the bike. Grilled din-din. Salmon and steak. Veggies. Very healthy. A California theme.
I'll get the formal recognitions out in the USPS snail mail this week, but heart-felt thanks go to the folks in Tahoe and SF for their wonderful hospitality last week. I had a great time. From the comments from all the hosts, family visitors are always welcome. Hard to have a bad time at either location.
I did have clear confirmation in the field that I need to study the manuals for both my NSSP and the mini-digital camera. The capabilities of both substantially exceed the skill of the operator.
The yard was mowed, but I'll need to do both again before heading to KC. No shortage of rain here and the fertilizer is doing a fine job.
Enjoyed 1's comments from Beantown. Good luck on the return trip to the TC tomorrow, Kiddo. Be safe.
The bikes (and riders) made it safely back from RAGBRAI. Talked to my pal Pete at coffee this AM and he said that the Friday ride from Ottumwa to Mt. Pleasant was a real bear. The route went North out of O and found some pretty good hills and a headwind in the afternoon swing down to Mt. P. Those lower tier counties in Iowa are basically the foothills of the Ozarks, so you can run into some elevation variance when you're off the beaten path.
So I'll jump on here tomorrow with some real wisdom.

While it may not be considered on the prime path my recent visit to the Qaud Cities was very enjoyable and the hospitality extended was first class.

Veneto, on the other hand, is big in quantity, big in mediocrity, but also big in top-quality reds. The eastern plainlands and central hills bring forth large volumes of very boring French and Italian varietal reds, but the foothills of the Alps to the northeast and northwest of the historic town of Verona are responsible for some of the most individual red wines known to man.
It looks like Italy might be pretty hositable too :)
