Classy move on TJ’s part. How’s that search for a new ride director going? Crickets from Gannett and the Register. Still wondering…will there be a RAGBRAI?

“If nothing else is possible then the ISP or even the state legislature could force the two rides to share the same route and towns if they insist on running the same week. That would make the split palatable to everyone and indeed would make it almost transparent to most of us.”
Yikes. When the state legislature tells me where and when I can…[Read more]

Ya’ll have a ride director yet? Tick, tock.

LOL…liberals venting because they cannot control the narrative. Just go ride your corporate ride if that’s what you want to do. If Bernie could get on a bike, he’d be riding Iowa’s ride. This isn’t about politics to us…only to you. If anyone’s making this about politics, it’s you. All smiles over on the Iowa’s Ride page. All bitterness…[Read more]

Why are all you RAGBRAIers so butt hurt about a new ride? Is it because Gannett’s ride is falling apart? Here’s a thought. You want to ride Gannett’s ride, ride it. Maybe they’ll have it. Word is that they don’t have a director or marketing staff, but hey there’s still time. Gannett does such an awesome job of managing its newspaper…[Read more]

I love it when small minds bring identity politics to my favorite leisure time activity. Some of you folks really need to get a life. The world doesn’t need you to save us from ourselves. Did it ever occur to you that maybe women, POC and old people don’t want to do this? Here’s a thought… Why don’t you work on your own biases? Why don’t…[Read more]

I’m in Iowa @bikingmama. I think most people feel that the Register was hypocritical in handling the Carson King story. It might have blown over, but Editor Carol Hunter’s sanctimonious justification of it was like throwing gasoline on the fire, especially when it came out that the Register apparently doesn’t hold its own employees up to the…[Read more]

There’s only gonna be one ride…IOWAS RIDE! Your side doesn’t have a race director or marketing team. The other side is negotiating with towns and will have it all buttoned down in a month. Your side will still be spinning!

Nobody’s going to sue anybody here, unless the Register and Gannett want to double down on stupid. Read the comments. Your side has squandered so much goodwill. Read the positivity on the new ride’s board. Read the bitterness on the RAGBRAI board. Please, ride RAGBRAI. We’re going to be having fun on Iowa’s ride. You can be bitter with…[Read more]
