The reference to “Rag Brai” and “KIBOS” brought me laughter that I really needed in this season.

Historically, this information was released a week before the ride..
Might I suggest you look at the specific RAGBRAI Host town websites?
For example, you can find on the Emmetsburg RAGBRAI website map that
“The main/RAGBRAI campground will be located at the Palo Alto County Fairgrounds.”
Peace-

Per Facebook Post by RAGBRAI:
“We have switched things up a bit and the blogs will start coming out a week from today – gives the towns a chance to forward us information after we visit.“

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

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.

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”

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.
