“I also guarantee that you will only do this once.”
-Possibly because they created new life-long RAGBRAI friends after joining a team on that “fateful” day

It is my understanding that the RAP is an IBC event that RAGBRAI participated in to support the IBC

Speaking of Monty Python, everyone should periodically view the Bicycle Repairman skit from Monty Python’s Flying Circus on your favorite video platform.

In this season of Thanksgiving, THANK YOU T. Gap Woo for work you are doing to create the daily laugh and provide some life to this forum during the “quiet season”.

I just leave all the bike bands on my bike. I have had people take photos the bands on my top tube. Alternatively, wearing RAGBRAI merchandise or having a “RAGBRI” auto license plate creates many unexpected fun conversations in this state to the east. No body ink required.

Although I drove in a hurry to the health club, found the closest parking space and took the escalator to the second floor to use the treadmill & stair climber, I am somehow still a day late to post this comment. Maybe I should have taken my bike for a ride and stopped at a bar instead.

First Annual NRNPBR ?
I got to participate in part of Darrell’s Annual Bike Ride Around Illinois.
This DARBRAI® set a seven-day record with stops at 33 different breweries along the 417.9 mile route.

Here is a closer look at that double loop century day.

Here is a scan of part the XXII route map.
No mention of how to get century patch.
I am not sure what participants guides looked like back then.

Princess Amanda-
My XXIX route map from 2001 has a 20.6 mile “John Karras Loop” on 148/G35/N28 near Anita as part of Wednesdays 83.8 mile route from Atlantic to Perry.
XXVIII in 2000 had a “Enard-Orient Century Loop” on P33/G61/25 as the 84.9 mile route route departed Greenfield on Tuesday toward Ankeny.

That out-and-back was on XXIII in 1995. It was called “The Conrad Spur” from Beaman to Conrad (6 miles each way) on a Wednesday route that was already 98 miles from Iowa Falls To Tama/Toledo. They had a pile of dirt in the middle of an intersection in Conrad and riders were given souvenir plastic bags filled with dirt. The official ride maps…[Read more]

I don’t think century patches were available on the loop back then. Maybe they were available for purchase at the trailers. Those were the Greenie days. . . . . .
Will have to ask my brother Darrel for verification.
I also recall the out-and-back century leg to the black dirt capital in those days.
Gotta dig out my old maps . . . . . .

Two Darrells are riding along on a tandem bicycle when, suddenly, the Darrell on the front slams on the brakes, gets off, and starts letting air out of the tires.

The Daryl on the back says: “HEY! What are you doing that for?!”

The first Darrell says, “My seat was too high and was hurting my butt. I wanted to lower it a bit.”

So the Daryl in…[Read more]
