The Hills loop is still popular in the Iowa City area, especially if you stay on Sand Road and skip the hill on old 218. Great write up!

It really means a lot to me and to my friends. I also wanted to thank everyone on here for their nice comments. This write up was very personal for me and it can be hard to put yourself out there. I started this write up right after the ride and probably went through about 5-6 drafts. When I finally finished I sat on it for about two months before publishing it. In fairness to me, I did move across the world and start a new job, both of which were slightly time consuming. Anyway, I appreciate everyone being so encouraging. Thanks, Stephanie (aka Sherpa Turtle) <blockquote>Thanks for writing it, Steph!

I always approach them with a slightly heavy heart as they are not a 'real' Fat Cylcist post but am always won over within moments of starting them. This is excellent. Thank you.
