    Hi Glenwood! We are looking forward to seeing you all again! I wanted to start the conversation about host housing. This will be Team TROLL’s 35 RAGBRAI. We are a small family team with my dad as our leader! He is 86! While I consider him tuf as nails – I realize he needs a bed to sleep on! So please let me know how you are managing the process of host housing. Thank you so very much.
