No sweeping views of mountains galore, but Iowa has hills!

Figured I better put on some pics for once. This was Monday's ride. Rode gravel about 17 miles to Whiterock Conservancy and then took a couple mtb singletrack trails up in to the hills, and then made my back home via a little highway (and tractor pulls lol) and the endless 8-11% gravel rollers. ~51 miles and my legs still hurt :/ pretty awesome morning tho!

Fantastic rolling gravel around there with the middle raccoon river valley.

We recently had a serious microburst here. One my local favorite woods roads had a bunch of trees downed. Still a nice ride.

My first bonified gravel ride. Only 35 miles with 4k elevation gain, but I was tired puppy!

Somewhere south of Issaquah. First rainy ride of the season. I hoped this went through, but it didn't.

Pony Express 120 Gravel Dash in Marysville, KS this past weekend. 125 miles actually, 7000+ feet of climbing (according to my wahoo). 6th place in the men's open, 8:47 total time. Didn't really feel great all day but it was a fun, challenging course with that was much tougher than it looked on paper.
Also, was glad that my Simpsons pink donut jersey arrived in time for the ride

PS I grabbed these shots from the Pony Express Gravel Dash facebook page -- photo credit is watermarked on the shots. I'll purchase them once I get purchase info.
