Amanda replied to the topic Announcement Party in the forum Miscellaneous 2 weeks ago
I agree with Uncle Kraig. So if you go just for the announcement and the party, it probably won’t be a surprise. The last one I went to, we sat at a table with a team we didn’t know. 10 minutes before the announcement, a person came up to the table and said to his friends here’s the route. I will say it was a let down. The anticipation of the…[Read more]

Hahaha! Lots of people refer to it as a race. Get one or two under your belt and you will be telling people it’s not a race.
Amanda replied to the topic No lottery for 2022 in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 2 weeks, 5 days ago
You will probably hear this a lot so I will start it. It’s not a race, it’s a ride. If you want to race, this is the wrong ride for you. You can ride as fast as you want but there is no trophy at the end. Just the sheer joy of achieving your goal. As for parking. They have week long parking at the start town and the end town. Some charters will…[Read more]

Amanda replied to the topic It's the RAGBRAI 2022 XLIX Logo in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The logo is quite unique this time. It reminds me of the felt boards in grade school. It looks whimsical! I like it.
Amanda started the topic Upload photos in the forum Miscellaneous 2 months, 1 week ago
I need a refresher course in uploading photos to the forum. I think I need to have a site where my photos are stored and get a code there. I don’t remember what site I stored them on! OH dear! I guess I need instructions and a few suggestions where you all store your photos. It might jog my memory!

Amanda replied to the topic Forced route through towns? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Amen KenH! I agree 1000%- never was good in math, but you get my drift. I love the opportunity to get off my bike and look at the each town. You never know what you might miss! And to restate what Ken said – Yes you can do RAGBRAI the way you want but there are times when you should want to give back to Iowa the same consideration that they have…[Read more]

I am feeling better! Thanks for all the get well comments. The worst part of this whole COVID thing: The royal family added a prince. Our first grandson was born on August 7th and I can’t hold or see him yet. SO sad. But soon I will hold him. I guess I have waited a long time for this guy a week or two shouldn’t matter. :(
Amanda replied to the topic COVID in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 4 months ago
Not sure where I would’ve picked it up. Yes, I was vaccinated in March. I was feeling quite confident that I wouldn’t get Covid. But apparently that Covid bug decided to get me anyway. It’s kicking my butt but nothing too severe. Just mainly tired, terrible cough and achy.

Do I dare ask if anyone contracted Covid? I did.

I bring a pair of thick socks to wear at night. I hate cold feet!! This year I am bringing a lt weight sleeping bag and sheets. I will sleep on top of the sleeping bag with the sheets if it’s too hot!.

Ken – is your bottle purple? Just curious if everyone got purple.

I received a nice steel drinking bottle with the 2021 logo on it! I thought it was going to be my wristbands. Did anyone else get some promotional swag?
