Before I leave for Chicago and points beyond, I’ll be doing some traveling starting tomorrow. And you’ll be coming along— with a team of bike riders on a long distance trip. It’s not the Tour de France; it’s the Great Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa—held to raise awareness and funds for a charity fighting diseases that […]
BlogHer 0-9 : crossing the line
