Historic flooding this summer has the Missouri River off limits in Mills County to RAGBRAI bicyclists hoping to do the traditional back tire dip in the Muddy Mo to officially start their trek across the state of Iowa. The good news is that there is an alternative.
RAGBRAI has invited the Loess Hills Chapter of the American Red Cross to set up a booth in the RAGBRAI Expo to collect donations to help those affected by the Missouri River flooding. Since many of these communities affected by flooding have graciously hosted RAGBRAI in the past, many riders have asked how they can help or contribute to relief efforts.
Are you fast at changing tires? Come to the RAGBRAI Expo and test your speed. The Iowa Bicycle Coalition will be hosting the second annual World Tire Changing Championship on July 23 in Glenwood, Iowa at the RAGBRAI Expo.
We look forward to seeing you next week as RAGBRAI XXXVIII kicks off with the 12th annual RAGBRAI Expo, the largest bicycle expo in the Midwest.
