The Surly Road Cycling Thread
@Al_4_ISU A few weeks after the fact, but RAGBRAI was overall a great ride. I apologize for bringing the heat with me from south Texas up to Iowa during the week of the ride. I probably will not make it a yearly thing but will definitely look into doing it again in a few years. I managed to do the following on the ride, which I assume are standard Iowa and RAGBRAI practices: a) take a leak in a corn field b) shower in a car wash c) drink a Busch Light out of a corn-themed can while showering in a car wash d) consume more pork in a week than in the previous 3 months combined (I just don't eat a lot of pork these days for whatever reason) e) get ticketed by the Iowa State Patrol in either Tama or Toledo for riding my bike at night with no lights (seriously, couldn't get a warning? Also, had some of the blandest Mexican food I have ever had in my life in Tama/Toledo. Y'all need to get some jalapeno plants up there stat.) f) sleep in the parking lot of a chicken processing plant in Storm Lake Probably a few other standard Iowa/RAGBRAI things I did that I am forgetting. Got to say that some of the best ice cream I have ever had was from the Beekman's trailer. The only concert I went to was The Pork Tornados. Only because of the name. No way was I passing up seeing a band called The Pork Tornados. Fun cover band. Really enjoyed going through all of the small towns and seeing seemingly everyone turn out to show support and/or separate us from our cash. I was pleasantly surprised by the high number of milfs I saw when rolling through Ankeny. It sure seemed like the route hit every hill in Iowa. I had it in my mind that Iowa was a little flatter than that. All in all I am definitely glad I did the ride.

Pop Songs (Possibly Girly) that are Great (When No One's Watching)
I don't know if this song fits in this thread exactly but I really like it for some reason. Maybe it is simply the presence of Natasha Bedingfield in the video.

Women’s U.S. Open
I think you can credit/blame Se Ri Pak for that. This generation of female Korean golfers is a direct result of her dominance of the LPGA at the end of the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s. Plus South Korea, like a lot of other countries in Europe and Asia, has a strong and well-established national program for elite junior golfers. From Wikipedia, so you know it is true:

When I used to make the trip on 59 between Houston and the coastal bend I stopped here many a time to avoid the crowds at the Wharton Buc-ee's or at Prasek's, especially when I was headed south on 59. Loved being able to pull in here, get gas if needed, take a piss, grab a chopped beef sandwich, and let the dogs out in the field next to the store while I ate my sandwich. I also would pick up a jar or two of their salsas from time to time. Great place that feels like a hidden gem right in plain sight.- Hey Steel Shank!
