Yeah, RAGBRAI has never shared registration numbers. I don’t see that changing.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what this has to do with RAGBRAI. Enlighten us?

I can get to the FAQ by going directly to the IR site (and not through the link posted on Facebook. I don’t know why you can’t.

I posted the link where I got it from. IR posted the link in a Facebook post this morning. I went to the FAQ page and there it was.

hnschipper replied to the topic Which Ride Will "Win"? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 3 weeks, 5 days ago
I feel like our parents are getting divorced and the riders are caught in the middle of the custody battle, having to choose sides. I don’t want to choose sides. I just want to ride my bike.

These numbers are actually released in May, before the ride. It’s numbers based on registrations.
The male/female ratio doesn’t seem off to me at all. I’ve stood in countless shower lines where the men’s line is significantly longer than the women’s line.

I see that’s what you posted as well. 🙂

Hasn’t RAGBRAI always trended this way? I don’t see it as a decline at all, just a continuation of how it’s been since I’ve been involved with this ride (20 years.) Women have always been the minority, as well as younger riders, in my experience. I’m not sure why you think this needs to be fixed.
hnschipper replied to the topic What's with the beaded roadkill ? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I get it’s a RAGBRAI tradition and all that, but I hate seeing the litter in the roadway that the responsible parties will never clean up.

I really hope someone didn’t take that kitten home with them without finding out if it had a home already.

Others riding ebikes doesn’t lessen the challenge RAGBRAI is for me.
