The riders start by dipping their bicycle tire in the Missouri River, on the west side of Iowa, and finish when they run the front tire into the Mississippi River, which is the west border of the state. For a week, 10,000 people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities pedal across the rolling hills while battling the wind and weather. In the evening they look forward to concerts and home town cooking done by church ladies. Last year Lance Armstrong took part, causing quite a stir. I helped serve a chicken and noodle dinner at the First United Methodist Church in Newton, Iowa. I never saw Lance, except for a rally he held to promote his "live strong" initiative. I'm no bicycle rider, but I fully embrace Paula's comment regarding horseback riding, a lost love I hope to reunite with soon.

I think that is it, exactly. that is why I ride, and why I do aikido: for those moments of pureness, where your body just works. And in riding, when I am a pure being that is in unity with my horse, who exists in that place of pure-in-the-bodiness her whole life. And for those times when she is in unity with me. yes.
