This will be my 20th RAGBRAI. Never locked it. Have put it in my tent – mainly to keep it dry. Some hosts have offered their garages to our group for overnight storage. I have left my bike out, next to tree most of the nights. She is always waiting for me the next morning!
I heard you can put a $20 bill on your seat and walk away. When you come…[Read more]

I am a fungi loving princess 👑! I would never sic my pet pig on anyone…maybe. Hey TJ if you need a job in the future, I can always use more sherpas!
Maybe the hairdresser got RAGBRAI confused with the Dam to Dam run in Des Moines. This year was the last year for it. RAGBRAI will end when pigs fly. Oh, wait that is this year in Sigourney! See…[Read more]

[quote quote=1287410]For the day, i tuck $60 cash in the elastic of my bibs/shorts. Easy access. Not falling out. Saw someone else do this one year and adopted it. Otherwise, just keep light wallet with id and cc in a waterproof bag (not a ziplock in my case) in backpack or bag on bike.[/quote]
Doesn’t it get damp? I saw a sign in a convenience…[Read more]
Amanda replied to the topic Bike Getting Wet Question in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 weeks, 1 day ago
I use to bring a plastic tablecloth, covered my bike and secure it with clothespins. I never knew what to do with it on the morning since it was covered with dew. Didn’t want to put it back in my bag. I think i bungeed it to the outside of my bag. Now I leave it next to a tree or under an extended roof, if possible. This is my 20th RAGBRAI and I…[Read more]
Amanda replied to the topic Newbie question! in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 1 month ago
I suggest bike sandals instead of bike shoes. They are cooler for the Iowa in July and if caught in a rain shower, they dry off quickly. Plus you get the awesome sandal tan! All the cool kids wear sandals! LOL
I always unclip my left foot when I slow down and stop. I broke my left ankle last RAGBRAI and was worried I would lose the ability to…[Read more]

Amanda replied to the topic Princess needs Vehicle and Driver Pass! in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Wondering if I need a vehicle pass for my carriage. It turns into a pumpkin at midnight. I am thinking I don’t BUT I do need one for an RV – 1976 Winnabago…… LOL
Seriously do you have an extra vehicle pass, anyone?
Amanda replied to the topic Princess needs Vehicle and Driver Pass! in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Okay, still needing this…
I can make you a knight or Lady if you can help me!!
Amanda started the topic Princess needs Vehicle and Driver Pass! in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 1 month, 2 weeks ago
When the royal Secretary signed up our royal club for RAGBRAI, she forgot to request a driver and vehicle pass. Don’t worry, I did not go “off with her head” ballistic when I found out. Well, maybe a little. But then I remembered I was the one who registered our merry little group of Black Fungi! LOL
Anyway if you aren’t going and want to sell…[Read more]

Yes, Mitch, sometimes I do have smelly clothes. I think it’s hanging out with the peasants! LOL

Good to know! I will do that next year! And I would wear it before the ride and heck with juju.
Amanda replied to the topic Single day shuttles? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 2 months, 2 weeks ago
There are no official shuttles. Either your wife or daughter will have to drive while the other one rides with you.
