Thanks for the info. My second choice was the route you mentioned.

I need to get to Lansing on Saturday as quickly as possible. Does anyone have any information about County Road 9 between these two towns. Decent shoulder? Is this going to be the support crew route? Any information would be helpful.

FMC lives! Gosh I haven’t been threatened on this forum for years. Ah, the good old days. ;-)

BRAG did pimento cheese sandwiches. I couldn’t get enough of them. Maybe pimento cheese and tomato? Yum!

You guys are all missing the most important part of RAGBRAI training, drink beer, get back on the bike and ride, repeat several times. My brother and I ride the twin cities area quite often at a more sedate pace with plenty of rest stops to sample all of the old and new microbrewery offerings in the area!

Moving in on 800 miles. Shooting for a little over 2000 by RAGBRAI. Not gonna race, just don’t want the hills to interfere with my “fun” factor!
BIANCHI-BRETT replied to the topic Who is in? in the forum RAGBRAI XLIV – 2016 7 years, 10 months ago
Team Jokers Wild out of Wabasha, MN is in again for this year bringing down about 30 riders. Look for the purple and yellow bus! WoooHooo! We will be the ones mooning your bus on the way down ;-)

I’ve got a batch of Amber Ale ready to keg this weekend, a batch of SMASH ale in the fermenter, and just bought the grains and stuff for a nice chocolate stout. I love RAGBRAI training!

My vote is for John Prine but he is probably too big for RAGBRAI. Bonnie Raitte?

I didn’t know that FMC had children with his cousin but I am proved wrong right here on “Dis har” forum. Geez Looweez!

Never have a game plan. Every year is different and great!

I’ve ridden the Triple Bypass and Potter’s hill. Wasn’t a hill that came close to something I couldn’t climb on the Triple Bypass (even though I wasn’t acclimated to the altitude) but Potter’s Hill got me about 50 yds. from the finish. Definitely a much harder climb. I know that I can climb a 15-16% grade so the steepest part of PH is more than that.

Thanks all!

I’ve downloaded all of the PDFs showing the pass-thru towns but I noticed that they don’t indicate the distances between each town. In past years the number one question I get asked when I pull out my map for the day is “How far to the next town?”. I hope they plan on providing this information this year.

Depending upon why and where the undies were strewn, it could be a very good day!
BIANCHI-BRETT replied to the topic Gravel Loop???? in the forum RAGBRAI XLIV – 2016 8 years ago
I know what you mean about the cheating Ken. I see people riding in at the finish of the Karras Loop every year to get a patch they didn’t earn. Don’t get it but if it makes them happy… Once saw a bandit in line to get a loop patch, I almost went FMC on him!
