First year dude here and riding with my first year daughter Brianna…so so excited. Did 71 miles and 2k feet of climbing and when I finished it was 97 degrees…Helen you got this and the slopes you just have to be slow and steady up them. Ride on!!
ERYX, I’m not sure of my plans yet. I may head to Michigan after the ride…but I may head back to AZ. Once I have that firmed up I can let you know. I also think there are shuttles to take you back to the start town.
We’re not looking for a team but this will be the first Ragbrai for my daughter and I. So looking forward to this. We are also using Pork Belly and would love to join for a hoppy beverage…Ride On!
My 1990 Centurion / Diamond Back road bike. I think that’s the year they merged and only year where both of their logo’s are on the bike. It’s a faithful soul and got me cross country in 2000…Ride on!
While not finalized I will be driving up to Clinton from Arizona if anyone needs a ride. Would have room for two folks in my SUV. I hope to have that figured out in the next few weeks. So excited for the ride…last year was to be my first so now this year will be…and the very special bonus is my daughter will be joining me.
I’m in! 2020 was to be my first so now 2021 will be my first…the blessing is my daughter is joining me and this will be her first organized ride…hope it happens.
Jboz – That sounds like a great ride…beautiful part of the state. August would work well for me. How do we proceed to make this a reality? Klkoopman – Thanks for posting the link to the trails. I always remember my dad riding one of those great trails around the Kalamazoo area.
That might be something I would be interested in. I’m in Arizona but maybe Michigan as that’s where I’m from…or something more westerly. This is my first year back into riding and I would fit into your riding style. I’m almost 60 and wanted to do Ragbrai to challenge myself in my 60th birthday year. Not having a “goal” ride has me cutting back how much I’m riding…so I need a goal.
I would be interested but based on the number of people who would like to do this. I was thinking around 20 or so would be a manageable number for logistics and the towns. I’ll watch this thread to see what comes of it. I need to have a ride to look forward to for motivation.
I’m loving all these suggestions. Maybe a small group of us(10 -20ppl) could do a ride somewhere? Self supported?? Or if someone had a person that could sag and transport tents, baggage, etc. I don’t know just trying to think outside the box. Thoughts?

Mlegge15, stay tuned for further details. I may be leaving mid July and not sure if that’s too early for you.

Hey John, No I don’t think that’s on the way…I don’t even think I’ll be in any part of CO on this road trip.
Hey Mike, I’m up in Prescott Valley. Plenty of hills to train on and while we get hot we don’t see the beast like down there…
Oh it was a post to let us know of another post…who knew. Lol

I personally don’t care what town is first or last I just pray we have a ride. 2020 was to be my first RAGBRAI and I hope I can say 2021 was my first.
