Seems like a large portion of the U.S. is covered in snow right now. If you are a RAGBRAI rider from one of the northern or eastern states and you are frustrated about not being able to do any riding, it may be helpful to know that you can get out and ride even when it's cold.

If you are like those of us here in Iowa, we are snowbound. According to the Groundhog, there will be six more weeks of winter. If that's all we have, I'll be happy. But that doesn't mean we put off getting ready for RAGBRAI.

If you have ridden RAGBRAI before, you know how hot it can get in Iowa in the summer. Well guess what? It gets just as cold in Iowa in the winter. And this past week we got dumped on -14 inches of snow and then some ice to top it off.

If you live in the Midwest, you know what beautiful weather we have in the fall. That alone is enough reason to get out and ride your bike.

After RAGBRAI is over I always notice a lot less bike traffic on the bike trails around Des Moines. I suspect a lot of people make it through RAGBRAI and then hang up their bikes for the season. I hope that's not the case with you.

One topic I get a lot of questions about is how to eat for a cycling event. A one-day ride is one thing, but a week long tour like RAGBRAI has additional considerations. I'll cover a few of them here.
