I’ve lurked here for quite some time now, and am finally emerging from the anonysphere to defend . . . Iowa.
#14: Magenta, if you think all of Iowa is flat (and, yeah, sure,
most of it is), you’ve missed the Quad-Cities on the eastern border--
where the Mississippi runs west and it looks like Iowa took a bite out
of Illinois. We’ve got some serious hills, valleys, and bluffs around
here.
In fact, come on over in July and try the annual Bix 7 road race,
which winds through some of the prettiest—and steepest—scenery I’ve
ever limped past. It starts at the foot of Brady Street Hill, which is
about a half-mile stretch at a 12% grade—you don’t need cleats, but it
does do a number on your calves!
Slinking back into lurkage now. . .
