jeffreydennis replied to the topic How to better motivate "bandits" to register in the forum RAGBRAI L – 2023 1 year, 6 months ago
Yeah, because simply doing what’s right is too damn hard. In many ways RAGBRAI has become a rolling cluster f#%k with too many people and not enough resources and yes, I blame bandits for a fair portion of that.
jeffreydennis started the topic Packet not received in the forum RAGBRAI XLIX – 2022 1 year, 10 months ago
RAGBRAI says to contact them directly after the 4th if packet is not received. I’m not certain about who exactly to contact and how. Any info is greatly appreciated

Non ebiker here, if I’m passing you on the right, it’s because you’re not where you’re supposed to be, it’s because I’ve determined it’s the safest action on my part, I’ll let you know I’m there…hopefully you’re not wearing earbuds.

Padres Cycle inn offers full service based out of STL. I don’t know if they just do transport

Last year was the first time I ever got the boot. I was hurting that day. Not hung over, not drinking, just hurting.

I can see mine on enMotive. They are not the best group to work with

2010 Waterloo-Manchester. Rained the whole freaking way from underway to 5 miles out of Manchester. Cool part was our camp site way across the street from my grandparents old house

I’m vaccinated. Have to mask up on bus. Other than that I’ll let Darwin handle it.

I agree but I never trust a new system. I want to see my number

Unfortunately I think Wimbledon is an indication of things to come

If Wimbledon is any indication..
jeffreydennis replied to the topic RAGBRAI & How Does Warm Weather Kill Off the Coronavirus? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 4 years, 2 months ago
Bottom line, no one knows. It is not unreasonable to wonder about RAGBRAI’s response to this. You are talking about 7 days of people from around the country in a traveling Petri dish
jeffreydennis replied to the topic Do you like the route in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 4 years, 3 months ago
That will come in a couple of months when the routes are released. Always happens this way. As for town size, Google is your friend

That factory was a Godsend
jeffreydennis replied to the topic RAGBRAI length and format in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 5 years, 9 months ago
A had a tick over 500 with the loop and a real wheel dip. I always say I wish the last day was shorter (a few years back it was) but I still seem to always make it in with plenty of time. People that want to ride are gonna ride.
jeffreydennis replied to the topic Input sought: road safety, campground quiet in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 5 years, 9 months ago
I’ve done this 11 times now. I went through your stage after about 3. I now share some of the wisest words I’ve read, RAGBRAI don’t care and all that means is go with the flow. It may be that RAGBRAI is not for you. You’ve been given sound advice about riding. Noisy camps are luck of the draw.

You rarely hear of theft. That said, I have a lock for my Madone

Depends on how big you want. I want personal music and use Buckshot 2
