Member  119  Colorado Springs, Maryland |  Subject: Moving to Iowa...My step dad has moved off of the family farm and into an assisted living facility and I have been asked to go stay on the farm during the winter and care for it, rent free and all that jazz. So, I am heading to Iowa for the time my husband is deployed...30 miles from the closest pool but with awesome running and biking hills. Taking my city girls and sticking on them on a farm..I can't wait for them to be disgusted by poo..manure LMAO |

Southeast cornerish area, Davis county. Grew up there, and probably going to use this as an excuse to Bike Van Buren and Rag Brai. |

As for the gravel thing, the farm is ona gravel road so there is little choice but to ride at least part of the time on gravel.| 2012-08-02 8:46 PM in reply to: #4342642 |

When we moved Iowa in 78 our first winter was a beast we have pictures of my mom standing beside 40 foot drifts. :D I love the snow and the midwest, can't wait to get back'home'. |

One of my all-time favorite road races is in DeWitt--Paul Skeffington 8k. Cute little race :-) And...of course, we always had the Saber Relays when we were in high school. Never ever had nice weather at that one. :D |

You get out of the cities and it can be pretty boring, but even in Omaha/Lincoln it's pretty laid back. |
