Training starts NOW! Our next adventure! 

Ted Weaver One of your Brit Mark Masterson converts here. Good luck on your travels.When I think of Iowa I think of flat farmlands,John Deere tractors,and 'American Pickers'! Looks like we'll be seeing you on a Mark Link up on 2nd March.Look forward to that.

I assume that you will be taking a tent. Make sure you practice loading it onto your bike and then cycling with it and your other gear.

Good morning from England. Firstly, thank you for doing the Cotswold Way as I am not far away and have not done it, or even thought about it, and I like walking so I was really put to shame. I must now do it. Your idea here though gave me another idea for you - Lands End to John O'Groats.

I'm already looking forward to your next challenge. I don't know where you are doing your training but perhaps you could record some of it so we can track your progress.

Sounds great. I'm no expert, but I'll try to help. Smooth tyres, not those mountain bike knoblies. That just saved you from some effort, sweat and chaffing. Keep 'em pumped up, Happy rolling. 🚴🌵

Just looked at how hilly southern Iowa is - looks like there's plenty of ups and downs, but nothing vertiginously high. It's 64 miles per day. You were walking that in about 4 long days in the Cotswolds. You'll be fine! Never heard of RAGBRAI before - what an epic idea!

Found you through the cotswald way, and im super excited to see this next journey 😊 good luck, guys. Also looking forward to the not confirmed UK revisit 😏

I watched Kara & Nate take on ragbrai. It's not easy. The very best of luck! 👍

Hello there, you lovelies. Nice to see you. You're both looking very well. Best of luck with this 👍

Looking forward to seeing you achieve this. Go for it.

450miles in 7 days? I knew it couldn’t be a canal boat chugging along our waterways! Sounds exciting!

I have done it. You guys will love it as it is a 300 mile party on your bikes. It is like a pub crawl if you do it right. Have fun and Iowa is a lot prettier than you would think.

Thank you for letting us all in on your next project, please keep us updated on your training. Have a good time doing the Ragbrai, make plenty of videos, and return to the UK anytime.

So, like many I found you two on your Cotswold Way adventure. And then the family cruise. This will be very different, looks like your "inner hippies" are coming out. No quaint hotels and pubs for you anymore, lol, (though maybe you can still fit the pubs in). Please do the training for your own sake. Looking forward to watching.

Ooh, you've just mentioned the UK. I wonder what you will be doing ...

Loved your Cotswold Way Videos
