On the Iowa Bicycle Coalition website, the $10 option to watch the livestream is now “CLOSED”. How can that be? Did they reach some sort of subscriber maximum? Can one watch the route announcement without paying? Realistically, the route will be posted on social media 30 seconds after it happens, but it’s still fun to watch and I’d spring for the $10.

I’m not all that impressed with the RAGBRAI communication this year. Is there a “guess the route” contest or not? Is the “official” entry to be posted on this forum or on a social media page? This is hardly an earth-shattering issue, just goofy fun that has always happened.
