I signed up! Looking forward to the tech tee and the pint glass. I’ll wash my stinky bike clothes with a Tide Pod too. Stay safe and healthy everyone!

I’m in for Paul’s Bacon Ride this Saturday! I missed out last year and didn’t want to miss out this time. Really looking forward to it. 🥓

igor replied to the topic How's the training? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 1 year, 9 months ago

1100 for me. A lot on the smart trainer/Zwift this year due to rain and late spring here in the Midwest. Not sure I’ll be able to add too many more miles before the ride.

igor replied to the topic Zwift Training in the forum Miscellaneous 2 years, 1 month ago

Being in the Midwest and not a big fan of the cold I bit the bullet and bought a Wahoo Kickr’ and started using Zwift mid-December. Since then I’ve put in almost 500 miles on Zwift alone. I really like it! The fat bike really only gets used on weekends now. It’s nice to get home from work, hit the basement and ride. I will definitely buy the…[Read more]

I can’t remember what time the towns actually get announced. It seems like it’s awhile though from when the feed starts. No real idea this year for towns. I think it’ll start in Le Mars and end in Fort Madison though.

igor replied to the topic Questions on past-RAGBRAI jerseys in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 2 months ago

I’ve gotten a jersey every year I’ve done RAGBRAI. I’ll wear this years on the official jersey day. I usually will wear other non RAGBRAI jerseys during the rest of the week especially college spirit day. Go Gophers! I wear my RAGBRAI jerseys quite a bit when riding. Always a good conversation starter.

Yup! Knoxville back in 2013.

That ride from Fairfield to Fort Madison sure was pretty!

igor replied to the topic 2019 Route Predictions in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 3 months ago

I’ll agree that there hasn’t been a lot of leaks to this years route. I think I guessed 4 last year and most years I get 0 or maybe 1 right. I’m thinking central route this year. Le Mars would be a cool start. Blue Bunny ice cream!

igor replied to the topic RAGBRAI 2019 Logo…Clues? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 5 months ago

Maybe the purple barn is a clue? Is there any famous purple barns in Iowa? A quick Google search brings up Purple Barn Bed and Breakfast in Adel, Iowa. Hmmmmm?

igor replied to the topic RAGBRAI 2019 Logo…Clues? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 5 months ago

To me the hidden surprises were the bike gears in the windmill and the bike chain in the wind mill. The only clue that jumped it to me was that the one star made me think of Des Moines.

Love the new logo!

Hi JoAnn, if you click on the 2018 Route Maps you can see the information there. Thursday is RAGBRAI jersey day and Friday is College Spirit Day. Hopefully that helps you out.

igor replied to the topic How do you carry your money on the ride? Wallet? Plastic bag? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 2 years, 10 months ago

A few years ago I bought a wallet made out of an old bicycle tube. It’s great. I can carry cash, Id and a few cards and since it’s a bike tube the cash etc. stays dry inside of it.

igor replied to the topic Zwift Training in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years ago

A question for those currently using Zwift. What smart trainers are you using? It seems like the Wahoo Kickr is the most popular. The late Spring here has me thinking of getting a smart trainer and using Zwift starting in the fall.

I imagine Kalona Brewing will be a popular stop. I know I plan on having a beer there.

My favorite pies in order, pizza, pecan, blueberry, blackberry, cherry and then all the rest.

Happy Pie Day! The blueberry pie with ice cream I devoured in Charles City last year will never be forgotten by me. Phenomenal!

I’m more of a craft beer guy but I do plan on having some Templeton in Templeton. Sounds fun!
