@dropbarsondirt was one of our 3.0 #flaanimal crowd funders. If he and about 30 other early supporters hadn’t stepped up in 2017 there would be no 4.0 in 2018. We call them the Flaactory Team, and we owe them a lot! Sheldon is taking on #transiowa single speed on his Flaanimal this year. Bon chance! #flaactory #rideexplorecreate
Throw back to 2005 when @iraryancycles raced the first ever #transiowa on this bike and won! First frame he built and he went back in 2007 to win again on the same bike. #steelisreal #tbt #breadwinnerroots (at Decorah, Iowa)
Personalized. Building two B-Roads today for a couple of midwesterners. One will race this year's #TransIowa and one is for @crc_hurl who is racing the #RougeRoubaix next month. #workhardridehome
Impossible dreams will be winging their way to Iowa. #transiowa #tiv11 #doityourselfpostcards #donquixote #gravel #bikes
Reminder that everything can be broken. The jar of gravel is my "trophy" from the first #TransIowa I won in 2005. #tbt
THE TRANS-IOWA V.8
It is a busy week at Turning Over a New Leith- Saturday, April 28, Johnners takes to the saddle for the 300+ mile Trans-Iowa V.8.

Poor Johnners- he has been under the weather with bronchitis and eye troubs. The ocular bleeding (exaggeration) has led him to have to have injections directly into his eye- how horrible, but being the real athlete in the family he is going to persevere. Or maybe this is how he psych's out his competition.
It will also be the red-carpet, world premiere of 300 Miles of Gravel, a film that features John and his cycling prowess- I hope he gets a copy on DVD. The only time spandex on the red carpet is acceptable.
John has agreed to grant his first post-race interview to Turing Over a New Leith- stay-tuned for early next week where John will all the gory deets from the road and the red-carpet highlights.
For those of you who want to follow along- you can listen for updates with Guitar Ted.
Good luck Johnners- stay safe out there.
