SUPPORT VEHICLE ROUTE

These routes have been developed with the Iowa Department of Transportation to ensure you are not traveling on the bicycle route at any time. It is important to follow these routes exclusively. RAGBRAI vehicles are discouraged from the bicycle route to ensure the safety of the riders and the emergency vehicles. There is turn-by-turn navigation with voice prompt for each days route.
