Hi all,
We’ve come to the tough decision to close the RAGBRAI Forums. As valuable as they are to the RAGBRAI community, they’re a massive vector for spam and bots to enter our website.
They aren’t closing immediately. We’ll remove the forum in tandem with a RAGBRAI.com update, and I’ll post as soon as I have a more specific timeline. But now’s…[Read more]

Gas Gas is correct on all of the above – we only license our name and logo to our official Bike Shops and Friends of RAGBRAI. Thank you for asking, though! Hope you and team have a great RAGBRAI!

Hey DNik1 – in addition to what was said above, we also sell day passes in our merchandise trailers. They will be located downtown at the Expo in Emmetsburg. I don’t have an exact location but if you head downtown toward the Lake, you won’t be able to miss it. Our merchandise trailers are large and blue. They’ll be open from noon to 10pm. Thanks!

Yes Randy Darrell is exactly right – we are delaying the blog and not giving a lot of info on the podcast for the same reason – the towns’ plans are still in progress. We are sharing the information that we have and will have more detailed posts for you soon! One way to stay up with RAGBRAI towns’ plans is to keep an eye on their Facebook pages.…[Read more]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback on the signs. I’ve passed on your comments to our signage team. For the purposes of this post, let’s try to redirect this conversation to just the subject of posting to the forum. If anyone would like to chat further about signs, or anything else, please feel free to direct message me.

RE: route arrows – I’m asking this out of curiosity not trying to be grumpy – how often do you really lose the route/get lost on RAGBRAI? If you do so, what time of day is it? Are the maps and GPS files helpful to you or do you prefer to navigate by signs only? Admittedly it has been since 2011 that I was able to ride the actual week-of RAGBRAI.…[Read more]

I can pass on this suggestion but I think it will be a tougher sell – we have a LOT of those signs already printed and ready to go. They’re actually not on paper they’re on a special plastic board that stands up to weather. It’s something we could look into down the road but like I said we’ll need to use the ones we have first.

@helenp great points on the participant guide and I have passed your notes on to the team! RE: the bare basics printout – all of the info you noted there is included in the printed fold-up maps that you can find at our merchandise trailers during the week of the ride. Thank you!
Andrea Parrott started the topic Buy/Sell Wristbands – Please Edit or Remove Completed Posts in the forum RAGBRAI XLIX – 2022 2 years ago
Hi all,
If you have a buy/sell wristband post and have already bought or sold your wristbands – please contact me and I will delete your post. This will help prevent multiple people from contacting you, or wasting anyone’s time.
Alternately, you could also comment below your post saying that the offer is no longer valid.
Thank you!

Unfortunately I do not know any way to search the forums specifically, sorry!! My best tactic would be to go to the Ride category and then CTRL-F the word Florida on each page.

@Daniel – For me there is a TRASH option directly underneath my post. I click that, then when the page refreshes I have to click DELETE. If those options don’t show up for you, please email me andrea@RAGBRAI.com with a link to the post you would like to be deleted. I would be happy to remove it for you.

Yes! I usually add the looking for/selling wristband categories on May 1 when wristband numbers are assigned.
Andrea Parrott replied to the topic How to Post to Forum in the forum RAGBRAI XLIX – 2022 2 years, 1 month ago
Thank you all for the feedback! Adding a category is about the extent of my ability to change the way the forums operate. I’ll mention the mobile and category title issues to our developer. But their focus right now is updating the app so it may be some time before anything changes.
