Keep the motel and follow Uncle Kraig’s advice. If you’re worried about theft, you could lock the bag to a nearby pole, but I would consider that unnecessary.

I would be shocked if a Le Mars motel had a shuttle service, but you might talk a local into helping you.
jelly0317 replied to the topic Sioux City to Le Mars ? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year ago
Check out the Le Mars web page through the RAGBRAI site. There are town and campground maps. Leave whenever you want on Sunday (pre-sunrise starts are officially discouraged).

I’m not sure of the best route from the Amtrak Station, but be sure to cross the Missouri River on the Kerrey bicycle/pedestrian Bridge. I agree with your L20 choice, but I would cut West on F50 after Missouri Valley, then follow K45 North to Sioux City. There probably isn’t a longer stretch of flat road anywhere in Iowa. Lots of pass-through…[Read more]

Regarding bike locks, keep in mind that the number of thefts tends to rise somewhat when we overnight in larger towns, e.g. Fort Dodge and Waterloo this year. I throw a small cable/lock in my duffel every year, but that’s just me.

Leave whenever you want each day. The Register semi leaves at 8:00 a.m.; I don’t know about the charters.

Just curious: how does one “upgrade” a 1971 Schwinn Racer?
jelly0317 replied to the topic What is everyone riding? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year, 4 months ago
As usual, I’ll be riding my 1972 Raleigh Super Course with TA triple crankset, Campy downtube shifters, camo panniers, and 1972/3 Davenport bicycle license plate.

I could have sworn that RAGBRAI already has staggered start times.

RAIN has cancelled.
jelly0317 replied to the topic Bubba's Pampered Peddlers in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 3 months ago
Ken, I would suggest that you stick to engineering topics and leave Contract Law to the lawyers. You are clearly mistaken, as a Small Claims Court would rule in the Plaintiff’s favor should an action be filed. To avoid payment of Court costs, I would advise Bubba to issue refunds immediately. That does not constitute legal advice, however,…[Read more]

Nothing demonstrates one’s contempt for speculation better than starting a new thread with the word “maybe”.

Or maybe in Muscatine’s Weed Park.

I wouldn’t call a fall RAGBRAI a “non-starter”; schools could certainly take an early “snow day”.
jelly0317 replied to the topic Hybrid vs. Road Bike – question from 1st timer in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 5 months ago
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.
jelly0317 replied to the topic Why do you RAGBRAI? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 5 months ago
Me, too. As Tevye said, “Tradition!”.

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