Here’s the deal. This week, we’re on vacation, so no personal finance posts.
Vacation = RAGBRAI. What is RAGBRAI you say? Let’s back up a second.
Mrs. 1500 and I have always loved bicycles. Way back when Mrs. 1500 and I were dating, she mentioned that there was this ride across Iowa called the the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa that was supposed to be a lot of fun. RAGBRAI!
Me: A ride across Iowa? Really? Fun? You kidding?
But she wasn’t kidding and I said, what the hell, let’s do it. Turns out the ride is huge fun and we’ve done it a whole bunch of time since then.
So, today starts the ride. In lieu of personal finance stuff and whiney ranting, I’m going to be posting a pictures from the ride this week along with some brief commentary. I don’t have a full-on computer, so I have to do it all from my phone. If my posts suck, I blame the phone. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Have fun!
Have a cycling bonanza, 1500s!!! What a spectacular rainbow and have those ham balls inspected before you eat them. Just sayin’.

Hey, this is great! I think you know bicycles didn’t work for us, so it’s great to be able to live this ride vicariously through the two of you. Sore butts for you, pretty pictures for us. Hope it’s a great time!

Nice! We have friends that like to do “Bike Florida” every year. Those kinds of events sound like tons of fun!

“Ham Balls Sweet Corn” is a pretty sweet advertisement. Are they two separate things? If so, I really want to try Ham Balls, which sound like a delicious fried ham appetizer that maybe have toothpicks in them, for grabbing. Please tell me these exist.

This looks like a great time! I bet you also get to meet a ton of cool people on this adventure.
So…what’s a Ham Ball?
And how many could I fit in my mouth at one time?

I don’t know what a ham ball is except that it tasted good and had nothing to do with pig testicles (I made sure of this)!
