More likely than not, Jill, you’ll get a green light so I would plan on going if I were you. Cheers! 😀

KEN- re-read my post; nowhere did I state anyone would be refused treatment, with or without a wristband. I’m saying riding Ragbrai puts you into the unusual & elevated risk circumstance that insurance companies itch for in denying a client coverage. For that reason, alone, I wouldn’t go bandit.

Minimum 800 miles by the 2nd week of July. You should recover the week before the ride with only a few miles.

Emergency medical service is provided along the entire route free of charge by U of I Hospitals & Clinics IF u have a wrist band. If you crash on the route, and your sorry azz has to be scraped up, and you don’t have a wristband, I don’t believe your medical insurance will cover YOUR problem so not likely will it won’t go well on your pocketbook.

I’m going to guess they are doing some bike maintenance, checking the true on the wheels, adjusting derailleurs, etc. Checking for sharps embedded in high-pressure tires should be done at the end of each day. I degrease and relube my chain at least twice during the week for trouble-free shifting.

During Ragbrai the ISP (Iowa State Patrol) takes a reserved stance on a few illegal activities they witness during the week, such as nude swimming, urinating in public, public intoxication, etc., provided the perpetrator(s) are not being too blatant with what they’re doing and they don’t receive complaints, but I WOULDN’T push your luck with…[Read more]
