I took my tire off the back and added a bike rack. Just make sure the bilke rack is made for camping trailers. They are lighter. When I was researching a lot of bike racks said not  to use on trailers. I found mine at camping world. It is a Swagman. I have not had a problem. I put the tire under the couch in my 173.]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 18:46:42 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12486#12486 Saylorville Lake Iowa : We are not good enough riders... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12484#12484 Author: Hawkeyes

My knees don't bend far enough to pedal a bike so I cheat.  It has a 1.5HP gas engine on it.  No offense to the spandex crowd intended but most of them look down their noises at me because of the motor.  Even bicycle shops don't want anything to do with a motorized bicycle.  One shop came right out and told me "Don't ever bring THAT THING here again".  All I wanted was to have the rims trued.

You guys should come for RAGBRAI next summer if you like to ride.  Everyone who does it, loves it.  (Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa).  Lots of riders from all over the country.  My husband and I want to, but have never put the training into it.  Maybe next summer.  Smile]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 10:10:53 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12479#12479 Saylorville Lake Iowa : My bike is 7 1/2 feet long so... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12478#12478 Author: TerryM

My bike is 7 1/2 feet long so it wouldn't work on a hitch.  It rides inside the camper.  Do a search for Dyno Roadster and you can see what they look like.  No, it isn't a 2 seater either.

Be careful - someone tried a bike rack on the back and it tore the welds.  Make sure you get it reinforced by a welder first.]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 09:56:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12477#12477 Saylorville Lake Iowa : They sure do.

They sure do.  What are your plans to transport your bike?  We have thought about putting the spare tire in the storage underneath and getting a bike rack for the back.  Our bike rack is for the 2" hitch, so we need to buy a different one.  What do you recommend?]]> Tue, 26 Oct 2010 09:43:55 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12476#12476 Saylorville Lake Iowa : That sounds lake a great place!... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1478&PID=12475#12475 Author: TerryM

A couple more pictures.  The lake is 24 miles long.  The most expensive camping is $24 for full hook-up.
There are 500 campsites and each campground has different amenities as one is no alcohol, one has group sites, etc.  26 miles of trails along the Des Moines river and lake, boat rental, etc.  Reservations can be made with www.recreation.gov or 877-444-6777.
It is US Army Corps of Engineers  see more info www.corpslakes.us/saylorville
The season closed last weekend for camping so we were just spotting which campground and where we want to stay next spring.

We went to Saylorville Lake (Iowa) this weekend just to plan ahead for next year and see which campgrounds we want to stay out.  Very pretty lake and lovely campsites.  This campsite is in Cherry Glenn which has lots of trees.  Prairie Flower is newer with less trees, but lots of space between campsites and the sites are all paved.
