I really like the new merchandise they came out with over the past year. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. I hope they continue with the new merchandise.

My husband, myself and the other riders in our group are in the last tier. It will be some time before any of us are even eligible to get the vaccine. We can’t even get those in the first tier vaccinated here.

I’d you have your own support driver, what are you looking for in a team? I’m assuming your support driver is going to be taking care of hauling your gear for you.

There was someone that tried this a couple of years ago, and advertised it here on the message boards. Not sure if this is the same person or not. I don’t know if they got any takers the last time around. Definitely more than my family is willing to spend, but I wish you the best of luck.

I think I have probably started more RAGBRAI’s not at the river than at the river.

I have issues from my phone, using Safari (not the app, but through the actual website.)

If we take the same route from Cherokee to Aurelia as the last time we overnighted in Cherokee, that hill isn’t a whole lot of fun. 🙂

I have never seen suggested staggered times.

Onawa would be a feasible option.

The way distribution is going here in my county, I have serious doubts the vaccine will be available to me before RAGBRAI. Our state is ranked 50th in vaccine distribution.

I will wait and read the news afterwards. I am not going to pay for a livestream that has always been free in the past.

Sac City looks to be in the running as the replacement (this is from bikeiowa):
The Sac City Council is scheduled to meet tomorrow (Tuesday, December 15) evening for a special session to decide if the community will be an overnight stop on RAGBRAI’s 2021 route. Sac City was originally set to be a pass-through community on the 2020 route, but t…[Read more]

My sister lives in Storm Lake, so I was looking forward to it too.

This is on RAGBRAI’s Facebook page today. The Sunday night town was Storm Lake.
Well RAGBRAI Nation, it’s 2020. So we won’t be announcing just one new overnight town for RAGBRAI XLVIII, we’ll be announcing two! Stay tuned, we’ll let you know about our new Sunday and Friday host towns in January.

PapaT, they gave two reasons – both in the original post.

When has RAGBRAI ever taken the shortest, most direct route from overnight to overnight? 🙂
hnschipper replied to the topic Maquoketa No Longer Hosting in 2021 in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I like DeWitt as an alternative. Would potentially make Friday a little longer and Saturday a little shorter.

From the RAGBRAI Maquoketa Facebook page:
After much consideration, and after compiling input from our RAGBRAI Advisory Board, volunteers, County Emergency Management Coordinator, local law enforcement, and local health officials, Maquoketa has made the difficult decision to not host the 2021 RAGBRAI. While we were excited to be chosen as an…[Read more]

I would say there needs to be a lot more hand sanitizer available if RAGBRAI were to happen in 2021. I usually carry my own in my jersey pocket on RAGBRAI because it sometimes can be hard to find. Every kybo should have hand sanitizer (or a central hand sanitizing/washing station), and there should be hand sanitizer placed throughout the food…[Read more]
hnschipper replied to the topic First RAGBRAI Memories in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 6 months, 2 weeks ago
My first RAGBRAI was 1998. My friend and I grew up in Iowa and had always seem RAGBRAI on the news. We were in college and one day decided just to go do it. We bought $80 mountain bikes at Wal-Mart (it was all we could afford as poor college students.) We were so naive. We had hardly any training miles under our belts. The first day, we applied…[Read more]
