If we are still doing the stay at home and social distancing thing, I think it is not a wise idea. Practice social distancing now and maybe we will have a real RAGBRAI in July
Amanda replied to the topic Training…and so it began. in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 day, 2 hours ago
I, too, am feeling the pain of not going to the gym. Yesterday was beautiful here so I rode 32.5 miles. I can tell I need consistent training but hopefully the weather will stay halfway decent to ride. It was great ride but I was sore when done. Today and tomorrow will be great days to ride too. And snow chances on Friday. 🙁
Amanda replied to the topic Whole route announced? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 weeks ago
I am working from home now too. My gym is closed. Aquatic Center closed. I am hoping for warmer weather so I can ride my bike.I can’t complain. I have my hubby, and dog to keep me company. Have a warm home and food in my belly. BUT if the whole route was announced, well that put a smile on my face!

Very well said, Mr. Koopman! We need some joy in our lives.
Amanda replied to the topic What is your favorite pie?? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 weeks, 2 days ago
I am not a fan of 2 crust pies. SORRY!!! But that way there is more for the rest of you! I do like coconut creme pie and it was easy to find when Lance was riding – since it’s his favorite too.

When does the whole route get announced? I am anxious to see what towns we will pass through! Can’t wait!!
Amanda started the topic Showers in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 4 weeks ago
Okay, this will be my 22nd RAGBRAI but I have a newbie question! I am using RAGBRAI support for the first time. I am curious how the shower availability works. Are they usually close to the camp area? Are the lines long and slow? And are they always cold? I have my packing figured out to one bag under 50 pounds but now I am stressing about the…[Read more]

I didn’t bring mine last year either. And I tried to put up my tent as far away from others as I could. Yes, the Princess snores loudly!!!
Amanda replied to the topic Questions from a first time RAGBRAI rider… in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Even though this will be my 22nd RAGBRAI, I am using RAGBRAI support for the first time. The 1 bag thing freaks me out! It’s not the clothes so much but I am use to my double high air mattress, my fan and comforts like that. I have already decided no double high mattress and no fan. I am thinking a single mattress – it is 4 pounds. And I can’t…[Read more]

OH heck no!!! 🙂
And I really hate getting my tiara wet!!
Amanda replied to the topic RAIN! in the forum Miscellaneous 2 months, 1 week ago
I personally can take heat way better than rain. I don’t like riding in the rain and I don’t like riding with a hangover. I really hate riding in the rain with a hangover!
Amanda replied to the topic Final Route Predictions in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 months, 1 week ago
My guess:
LeMars
Cherokee
Estherville
Algona
Mason City
Marion
Dyersville
Dubuque
By this time next week, we will know the route and our guessing fun will be over!
Amanda replied to the topic Final Route Predictions in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 months, 2 weeks ago
So do we think the end will be Dubuque? That seems to be popular. And LeMars as a start? I heard that rumor on the ride last year. Just in case it matters, I am fine with these start and finishes! Princess approved! LOL!

And usually, the end town doesn’t have evening entertainment. Good try on the guess though. 🙂
Amanda replied to the topic How many counties have you visited? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Yes, I did make it to Lansing, dipped my tires and had put the bike away…. oh well, I came back the next year and no ER’s visits!
Amanda replied to the topic How many counties have you visited? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 months, 3 weeks ago
99 counties. I have done 21 RAGBRAI’s. Started in 1999. Got to my 99th county in 2017. And then I broke my tib fib.
Amanda replied to the topic Happy New Year! in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Chuck – Go for it. RAGBRAI will be fun this summer. Don’t put it off, you never know what next year will bring. 🙂
Amanda replied to the topic Who here will be riding BOTH Iowa Ride and RAGBRAI? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 months, 1 week ago
I will probably skip the announcement party this year, although I want to meet Mr. Drake. Not sure who will do RAGBRAI with me. So far, it’s my cousins and me. Not sure if any of my team members believe I will do 2 weeks! Plus I get more PTO than the rest of the group. Can’t wait to see you, Papa T! And the rest of my RAGBRAI friends!
Amanda replied to the topic Who here will be riding BOTH Iowa Ride and RAGBRAI? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 months, 1 week ago
I am planning to do both right now. However plans could change due to logistics and I am older…. LOL!
