When has RAGBRAI ever taken the shortest, most direct route from overnight to overnight? 🙂

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]

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]

My friend who loves in the Cedar Rapids area lost his house. Part of the roof of the school behind his house blew off and into his house. Another friend sustained minimal damage but still has no power.

Cherokee is the meeting town.

You can get to Aurelia without riding on highway 3. Aurelia was a pass through town the last time RAGBRAI overnighted in Cherokee, and we didn’t ride highway 3. (Aurelia is my hometown.)

A lot of the comments on Facebook are people tagging other people,not actual comments.
hnschipper replied to the topic Anyone interested in doing the two rides anyway? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 7 months ago
Why would you assume you can camp in town when RAGBRAI has been cancelled this year? I would not show up in any town expecting towns to be ready to accommodate riders. If you’re going to go, call ahead and make arrangements.

If the risk were high enough that masks were required, I would stay home.

Panama is hot and humid this time of year. Panama is being hit by the Coronavirus. Heat and humidity do not seem to be helping there.

Per RAGBRAI’s Facebook post, registration and refund deadlines have been extended to June 1.
hnschipper replied to the topic 2020 Pass-through towns? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 9 months ago
Looking at the map of the route mentioned in the article posted above by Ken, that route as outlined from LeMars to Cherokee doesn’t go through a single town. That would be quite a stretch without a town!

They are? None of ours here are open all night. They all close at 11 pm.
