What Is Okra (Lady's Finger) And 6 Benefits Of Adding The Medicinal Vegetable To Your Diet. Sink your teeth into okraâs health benefits, which range from treating diabetes to preventing kidney disease.
RAGBRAI began in 1973 when Des Moines Register feature writers John Karras and Donald Kaul decided to go on a bicycle ride across Iowa. Both men were avid cyclists. Karras challenged Kaul to do the ride and write articles about what he experienced. Kaul agreed to do it, but only if Karras also did the ride.
Because RAGBRAI is a tour and not a race, it means you can take your time and ride at an enjoyable pace. Even though this yearâs edition is the second âshortestâ in RAGBRAIâs history, 406 miles is still a long way to ride a bike in a week. Therefore endurance is extremely important and is the most important aspect of training to focus in on.
