As you probably already know, Pedalpalooza started yesterday. The Kick Off Parade was a blast.

It was everything a girl could ask for. The sun was shining, the hills weren’t too steep, and plenty of cute boys showed up dressed like cowboys. I also enjoyed watching some woman losing her shit when she couldn’t drive across SE Ankeny because the police and hundreds of bikes were in her way. My only complaint was that our police escort drove at the pace of AOL on a dial-up modem.
