  1. Gee, That’s Just neat!

    • The description in this story is fantastic. Keep up the good work and I am going to stay tuned in.

  2. I met Glenn on my first day of RAGBRAI in 1985. I rode with him the rest of that week and have ridden with him on six RAGBRAI’s since. It’s great to hear him telling his stories — and believe me, this only scratched the surface. He’s got a million of them. One story he neglected to share, however, was the time on RAGBRAI when he was riding alongside two very attractive women, chatting them up and turning on his charm. I was in good shape that year and was able to ride up behind him without him noticing. He was a prime target. I grabbed the back waistband of his bike shorts, pulled them down and hooked them under his bicycle seat. It took Glenn a while to unhook his shorts. Those women saw a side of Glenn I’m sure they weren’t anticipating. I think he laughed about my prank as much as I did. It’s been some time since Glenn and I have ridden together, but it’s always a blast. I’d love to hear more of his stories here, if you get the chance.
