Reply To: How much will the crowds effect my average speed?

Agree with all comments above. You are going to have to slow considerably on hills of any size due to wall to wall huffers & puffers; plus, takes time to get thru intersections, etc. In my opinion, you’ll lose a couple mph average due to these reasons. And the IHP has been known to totally close the route for quite a while due to accidents requiring ambulance or air evac. Average speed should not even be considered on Ragbrai. In fact, other than using a computer to know where the upcoming towns are, it would probably be more enjoyable not to even have one!
