Eric-WD, yeah, well, I was kinda nuts then. Matter of fact it was a straight through trip, in my preparation for a race. Non-stop ride with support following me the whole way. Awesome road at 2:00 in the morning
And DruLeeParsec, you are in my neck of the woods! I'd rather do Iowa Hill on my bike (which I've done plenty of times) than in a car. Uphill is a monster, and wait 'til you have a front tire go flat as you're coming downhill. It was an exciting day! BTW, have you fished downstream from the bridge? I've caught some feisty 'bows down there.
