RDaryl Daryl replied to the topic Fate of RAGBRAI "Training Rides"? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 months ago
I am sure we will be informed of the details of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition/Iowa Bicycle Action Fund social charity rides with enough time to plan our ride experiences.
As with all of life’s events in this season of uncertainty, I suggest we focus on taking advantage of each day to get out on a ride and do other productive activities. I find no…[Read more]

Local Restaurant was offering a free roll of toilet paper with every $30 carryout purchase.
That is in addition to their Sunday “Brunch in a Box” with Mimosas to-go.
I have yet to see a Bloody Mary carryout special.

Liquor Stores and Brewery Taprooms (carryout) are also deemed ESSENTIAL in Illinois. Also dispensaries. Just keep your distance from others.

No need for second pair of riding shoes “just in case of rain”.
After a storm passes during your riding day (storms usually pass after a hour or two), take off your shoes in a pass-through town and hang out in the sun while you enjoy food & beverage. Many bring flip-flop sandals. Others just ride with SPD Bike Sandals. Just DON’T ride with the…[Read more]

Without knowing any of the muddy details, it seems like drastic changes were needed to make drastic change happen.

Unfortunately, some if the big town hosts spend big money to try to make a big impression and end up charging BIG prices for virtually everything. My biggest 2019 memory was the prices in Council Bluffs.
The Council Bluffs camp locations for charters were also quite memorable. I fully understand that many towns along the Missouri and Mississippi…[Read more]

Last time I recall such a classic t-shirt was XXX/2002 (all maps on back) – “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Cycling” back when the DMR was part of the Tribune Company. Not sure which bike shop I bought it from as the shirt only states “Used with permission”

And you have the opportunity of participating in an epic 14 day Iowa bike ride experience if time permits !

The story mentions a foundation titled “A Community Thrives”
A DMR/USA Today Network news story dated April 8, 2019 includes some information:
A Community Thrives is sponsored by the USA TODAY NETWORK, the parent company of the Des Moines Register. The 3-year-old program invests in charities that support education, arts and culture, wellness, and…[Read more]

The Iowa Festivals and Events Nonprofit was started over 2 years ago by a group of approximately 25 Iowa event planners in an effort to network and improve events in Iowa.
The RAGBRAI staff was not allowed to make any decisions relating to the distribution of RAGBRAI profits to charity.
RDaryl Daryl replied to the topic Iowa’s Ride FAQ Section in the forum Miscellaneous 7 months, 2 weeks ago
When was it announced that the IBC does not endorse RAGBRAI as an event that safely promotes cycling in Iowa? Or do a few individuals feel that the IBC is choosing one side because of our current society’s “us vs them” mentality where everyone must take sides?
I suspect that once the RAGBRAI leadership team is announced, the IBC Board of…[Read more]

Seems like more people need to listen to the entire Q&A video posted November 4 on the Iowa’s Ride Facebook page.

It seems to me that the DMR still has not disclosed how the foundation distributes profits from RAGBRAI.
