Are you referring to Crawford County, where RAGBRAI overnighted in 2018?

I still have a “Rock Fest 1970/Bike Ride 1993” button from Wadena.

I always get a kick out of people talking about encountering headwinds when riding West. The predominant wind direction in Iowa in July is some variant of Southerly; it is as likely to be SE as SW.

Call me crazy, but naming Iowa’s Ride as “the best hope for continuing this proud tradition” sounds a lot like making a choice.

I would label it “pragmatic”, rather than “classy”. Yes, Randi, there will be a RAGBRAI, probably ten times larger than Iowa’s Ride.

The TdF ends on the first day of RAGBRAI/IR, so Lance would have plenty of time to participate.

You used the term “serious cyclists” in your post twice. As a 36-time RAGBRAI participant, I would appreciate your definition of that term.

Pork Belly Ventures and Chris Cakes are staying with RAGBRAI, according to a DMR article.

It should be an interesting Winter, with both rides attempting to attract riders. I believe that tradition will carry more weight than disatisfaction over editorial decisions, and RAGBRAI will continue to be successful.

You’ve been beating the same dead horse for over six months: you don’t think e-bikes belong on RAGBRAI.
