Welcome to the weekly Top Five" showing links to five of the week's most read articles on the blog.
Sometimes
those will be current posts, but sometimes not. I will
also post commentary with perspective on some of the older posts, and
try to give some context as to why I wrote what I wrote then, which may
not reflect what I'd say in 2025. With all of the above said, here is
this week's list.

| The first woman to finish a Trans Iowa, Janna Vavra at T.I.v7 |
It Was Twenty Years Ago Today: April 23rd, 2025 - With the twentieth anniversary of the first Trans Iowa this year, I wrote this post about a month ahead of time and refined it over the ensuing weeks to make sure it was what I wanted to say about this occasion. Apparently it was good enough to get the attention of many readers because it was the single best one day viewing of a post here in a long time.
Rene Herse TPU Tubes Review: Part 2: April 22nd, 2025 - The long awaited follow-up to the opening review on these tubes gained the number two spot on the list this week.
How Wide Should Your Drop Bars Be?: November 20th, 2023 - Dropping one spot from last week, I mentioned you might see this post crop up on this list a lot. Well, here you go....
Where Were We?: April 19th, 2025 - A post about cue sheet navigation and its effects on Trans Iowa riders was the number four most viewed post this week.
On The Bunny Trail: April 20th, 2025 - This post fell on Easter this year, just like the story the post tells about Trans Iowa v7, which fell on Easter Weekend, 2011.

I got goosebumps seeing that image of Janna at the finish of TIv7. While that was a disappointing day for me, I couldn’t have been happier for what Janna had accomplished. It made my own failings fall away into insignificance.
Heads up: It seems the link to the “Where are We?” Post actually links to the bar width post, not the correct one…
@MG - Thanks for the catch! I have it corrected now.
