Lodie replied to the topic RAGBRAI Forums Closing in the forum RAGBRAI L – 2023 6 months, 1 week ago
This is very disappointing. I object vociferously to using facebook in any form so guess I will head to reddit going forward.
Isn’t there a tech solution that could be applied here or even have some volunteers to help moderate the forum?

Welcome to RAGBRAI Suzanne.
The charters are great for getting you from the end to the start. This is likely to be a busier year than average so would recommend locking down your arrangements sooner than later.
Hope your first RAGBRAI is spectacular!

I too am a knitter and RAGBRAI is absolutely about how you want to do it! I usually have a project along but during the week, I don’t get much done – frankly just too sweaty. Go for it and I will try to catch up with you!

Lodie replied to the topic Flying in Sunday morning – getting late start in the forum Miscellaneous 4 years, 9 months ago
Not to worry. Our first year (2012) we really didn’t have a freaking clue so we showed up on Sunday morning about 9:30, quite surprised to find most people gone. We had not wanted to camp that Saturday night. There are however still plenty of people around and you will find the route without difficulty. There are a million ways to do RAGBRAI…[Read more]

Don’t think you need to transfer an RV pass, just wristbands.
Dianne – I have an RV pass I am not going to use. PM me if you need one still.
Lodie replied to the topic Rv pass needed! in the forum Miscellaneous 5 years, 9 months ago
Did you find an RV pass?
You don’t have to name your next kid after me but you would need to join my flash mob group.
you are still welcome to name the child, but it is an unusual name – Lael

Lodie replied to the topic Ischial bursitis – is RAGBRAI over for me? in the forum Training 5 years, 9 months ago
This was just not meant to be. For 2019, recommend doing some sort of ritual (exocism, voodoo, whatever) prior to registration. :)

Lodie replied to the topic Need a vehicle pass. Please help me celebrate my 40th birthday with my family.– in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 5 years, 9 months ago
I have a vehicle pass we are not going to use. The only catch is that your group has to join the dance flash mob I am trying to organize! PM me and we can work out the details.
And, yes, I would love some cake.

I am an orthopedic surgeon who is about to do my 7th RAGBRAI, I would think you can still do it but definitely stay off the bike until the pain is resolved. Agree with the comments above that you need a change in position or seat (or both). Your ass is telling you this isn’t working. You might even try a stationary bike to keep peddling, as…[Read more]

Trying to put together a surprise for our fellow riders, so if you like to dance, PM me. Nothing creepy, no poles involved.

It will be in the handbook sent out with your wristsband, etc.
Lodie replied to the topic What is something unusual (or crazy/craziest) thing you've done on RAGBRAI? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 5 years, 11 months ago
If anyone is interested, I am trying to find willing souls for a little something different this year. Nothing creepy, you must like to dance. PM me if interested.
Lodie replied to the topic RAGBRAI Playlist in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 6 years ago
Disco, baby. Nothing but disco.
I use a Celtic Blu Tallboy. It has worked great and fits into a water bottle holder. There is a remote to attach to the handlebar. Can work through bluetooth or an SD card (when there is no connection). Furthermore, it has a huge battery that can also charge your phone.
Lodie started the topic quirky RAGBRAI in the forum Miscellaneous 6 years, 3 months ago
Does anyone else feel RAGBRAI is losing some of the quirkiness? My first ride was XLV and some of the characters were quite memorable. A guy riding a fixed gear bike wearing only a white women’s bikini (top and bottom) comes to mind. Seems like the ride has become a bit more homogeneous. Thoughts?

Lodie replied to the topic Suggestions to Town Businesses in the forum RAGBRAI XLV – 2017 6 years, 11 months ago
I have seen the “slammed, overwhelmed” dynamic in restaurants along the way but I have also seen well prepared but under utilized local spots. We always try to hit local, non-chain restaurants to make sure the towns gain something out of this mammoth invasion. Two years ago we found a gem of a breakfast place – buffet, bloodies/mmimosas, ac and…[Read more]
Lodie replied to the topic I don't ride, but I live in Glenwood. Any questions? in the forum Miscellaneous 7 years, 9 months ago
We will be getting in pretty early on Saturday – where is the best place to hang out that afternoon? I am thinking bowling alley or dive bar.
