I rode RAGBRAI for the first time two summers ago. It was on my bucket list for over 20 years (I first heard about it from an Iowan who was on a cross-country ride with me), and it was even better than I hoped! I know you have had a lot of responses already, but here’s my two cents:

I rode my thirty year old hybrid and had a great time!

I rode without my CPAP two years ago, and I was fine. I was very glad to not have to deal with finding a power source.
Andrew Berman started the topic Ride from Clinton to Quad Cities Airport? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 year, 9 months ago
I know I can hire a charter bus, but the Quad Cities airport is less than an hour from the end town. Does anyone have any idea how easy it would be to hitch a ride (just me and luggage–no bike) or grab an Uber from Clinton to the airport in the afternoon of the last day?
Andrew Berman replied to the topic First timer trying to choose which bike to bring in the forum Miscellaneous 2 years, 7 months ago
I have only one bike, a 25-year-old 32 lb. hybrid, and I thought the ride was easy. I was slower going up hills than some folks with fancy bikes, but I never got a flat and had a great time!
Andrew Berman replied to the topic Receiving Materials? in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 4 months ago
Hi, All, I’m the OP, and I feel badly because I didn’t mean to stress anybody out! As I said in a previous post, I did finally receive my materials; I hope you do, too.
I saw this on RAGBRAI’s Facebook page:
“A quick update on RAGBRAI credential packets. As of today, about 99% of the RAGBRAI packages have been shipped. In the last few days,…[Read more]

Is it easy to get from Davenport to Quad City International Airport? Do I need to sign up in advance with on of the charter airport shuttles, or will there be a million cabs and Ubers heading that way all afternoon?
Andrew Berman replied to the topic Receiving Materials? in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 5 months ago
I got mine over a week ago.

Does anyone know when the RAGBRAI folks will be sending us our wristbands and other registration materials?
Andrew Berman started the topic Ride Needed Omaha > Onawa FRIDAY 7/20 in the forum Looking for RIDES 2018 3 years, 6 months ago
I made the mistake of flying into Omaha on Friday instead of Saturday, and there are no shuttles to Onawa that day. I’m looking for a ride to Onawa (just me and a bag–no bike) on Friday, 7/20. Let me know!
Andrew Berman replied to the topic Best bike style for RAGBRAI in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 6 months ago
Thomas, I can’t say this is the “best bike style” as your question asked, BUT I rode cross-country on a 35 lb. hybrid and I lived to tell the tale. I’m toying with buying a new bike after all these years, but I will probably ride my trusty hybrid once again. Almost every long ride I have done has been mostly road bikes, for what that’s worth.
Andrew Berman replied to the topic Ride Needed Omaha > Onawa FRI 7/20 in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 6 months ago
Deborah,
I have not received any good information yet. So far, there are no shuttles on Friday. Uber costs over $100. There’s a bus from Omaha to Sioux City, Iowa that passes right by the exit for Onawa (which is less than a mile from there), but they told me they would not make any unscheduled stops.
Even though I’m trying not to spend…[Read more]
Andrew Berman started the topic Campground Question in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 7 months ago
I looked at some of the host town websites, and a lot of them have “campground reservation” sections. I thought “free” campgrounds were part of the regular RAGBRAI event if you are a registered rider. I understand that some companies (like Pork Belly) have their own campgrounds/meal plans, etc. for a fee, but do I need to reserve a campsite every…[Read more]
Andrew Berman replied to the topic Ride Needed Omaha > Onawa FRI 7/20 in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 7 months ago
Rob, thanks for the reply. I had seen their “arrive Friday” suggestion, so I took their advice, only to realize AFTER that there are (currently) no shuttles that day. Sigh.
Andrew Berman started the topic Ride Needed Omaha > Onawa FRI 7/20 in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 7 months ago
I can’t find any info about shuttles on FRI and there is no bus service from Omaha to Onawa. Anyone want to share a ride?

*If* I get into the lottery, I *may* see if my sister is willing to come from the Chicago suburbs to pick me up for a visit. In that case, I could ask if she is willing to take you along, too.
