Glen, I’m with you…Undecided. This if my first time riding Ragbrai as well. I’ve been looking at them all and can’t make up my mind. Bubba’s looks like a good choice as well. What can people tell us if a charter doesn’t have showers where do you go for that? I love the idea of having that close as well as having a tent and blow up mattress…[Read more]

Can I throw out another question on this thread…I’ve never shipped my bike before and wondered how that works. Do you ship it on the plane with you? Via another shipping company? When you ship it is there someone to put it back together when it arrives?? Also, if not shipped on the plane where would you ship it too? I’m thinking of driving…[Read more]

Thanks everyone. Lots of great tips…keeping me busy in my research:) Has anyone heard of the Tomasso line of bikes? Also, I used to ride on 25c tires. Is there much of a difference to go to 28C? More comfortable ride? Effect your pace much?

Great tips and thank you. Yes, geometry and as comfortable I can get a bike is important to me. I won’t be breaking any speed records. Just enjoy the ride, meet great folks and create memories is the goal. I like your tip for the fatter tires and I will definitely check that out as well.

So I’m hoping I can get something under $1,000. Preferably one that is more comfortable than a racing type bike. I’m not in this for the speed but the journey:)

I’m looking to get a new bike (mine is 20+ years old) before the ride. Any recommendations on a good touring type bike under $1k? I’m so stoked for this ride…
Eric Strobel replied to the topic 2 new riders looking for a team in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 4 weeks ago
So what is the difference between joining a team or a group? What does a team do? I might be interested but just need more details. Oh, this is my 60th birthday year and wanted a good physical thing to do. Did the Big Ride for my 40th. Any insight is welcomed.

Prescott Valley, I was thinking of driving until I saw how far it was. Will be more than likely flying. Just not sure about transporting the bike that way. Yea, my son’s 16th bday is on the 25th and trying to figure out getting back for that.

Hey Nick, this is my first Ragbrai as well. Really can’t wait but have a lot of training to do over the next 5-6 months. Where in AZ are you?
Eric Strobel replied to the topic Charters back to the Starting Town?? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 4 weeks, 1 day ago
I thought about it but since I’m driving from AZ I was trying to avoid the extra 3 hours of drive time getting to Clinton. Thanks for your thoughts.

I was thinking of driving to Ragbrai and wondered if there are any charters that will take riders back to the starting town after the ride is done. I’m coming from AZ and would prefer to just drive to the starting town. Any thoughts out there? Thanks!!
