For me, it would depend on how much “less comfortable” the Specialized is. If they’re close in comfort, I’d go with the road bike.

Me, too. As Tevye said, “Tradition!”.

A few bikes are stolen every year; bring a lock.

Thanks. I’ve still got them, and hoping to use them on my 37th RAGBRAI in July.

Good advice. My “new” bike turns 30 this year, and my RAGBRAI bike is 47.

Niles, am I the “internationally famed big lawyer” to whom you refer in your post? If so, please add “recently-retired” to your description.

Excellent, informative post. My only disagreement is with “DO NOT OVER PACK”. I’m sure that many “veterans” need to bring much more than what you list, but still come in well under the weight limit. As long as the rider can carry the bag several hundred yards, the extra weight may be worth it.

The RAGBRAI baggage limit is one fifty-pound bag per rider.

Please cite the source of your assertion that the Karras/Kaul statue will be dedicated this summer. The most recent information I have found is that the planners hope to have it ready in 2022.

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

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.
jelly0317 replied to the topic Iowa’s Ride FAQ Section in the forum Miscellaneous 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Call me crazy, but naming Iowa’s Ride as “the best hope for continuing this proud tradition” sounds a lot like making a choice.
jelly0317 replied to the topic Iowa’s Ride new dates in the forum Miscellaneous 4 months, 2 weeks ago
I would label it “pragmatic”, rather than “classy”. Yes, Randi, there will be a RAGBRAI, probably ten times larger than Iowa’s Ride.
