Inaugural RAGBRAI Route Announcement Party

RAGBRAI and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition have worked together for the past several years to bring you the Iowa Bicycle Summit.   This year’s Summit will again include advocacy workshops and the January Meeting for Clubs and Teams. 

The Summit has traditionally ended with the “Bike Night” celebration.  This year, the event takes on a new spin as a cycling-filled evening of fun concludes with the revealing of the much anticipated RAGBRAI XXXVIII route.

The evening will feature live music with a special acoustical duo performance by The Nadas, who have entertained RAGBRAI riders for many years including recent stops in Greenfield, Ames and Cedar Falls.

In addition to live music and the RAGBRAI route announcement, this special night will feature:

• Live Auctions on Great Cycling Items
• Silent Auctions on Great Cycling Items
• Door Prizes
• “Guess the Route” Raffles
• Iowa Bicycle Coalition Updates
• Complimentary RAGBRAI-style Snacks & Soft Drinks
• Complimentary Drafts (also a Cash Bar)
