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.

Not to quibble, but it was Michael Corleone who pointed that out to Sonny.

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

I suggest that you read their Twitter post.

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.

100+ mile Friday and 80+ mile Saturday? Not likely.

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

Two people yelled at you in seven days, and you’ve been crying about it for a month. Get over it!

Please explain how you were able to determine that “this couple did not have…medical needs”. X-ray vision, perhaps?

Final day: Manchester to Dubuque, with a stop at Field of Dreams to see the site of the 8/13/20 Yankees/White Sox game.
