Scott,
Yes, there’s camping available on Friday night in CB. You really want to fly on Friday and get setup early and enjoy the show! There is nothing like watching RAGBRAI come together at the starting town! Early Saturday morning the locals and the few early birds, like you, will be the only ones around. Enjoy, go for breakfast at sit down…[Read more]

I am a CamelBak guy too. But over the years getting smaller and smaller. I carry my ‘stash ‘O cash’, ID and credit card in it as well.
I fill it with ice then top off with water. I usually refill the ice once or twice a day in towns… Ice drink and a cooling back pack too… Very nice on those hot July days!
Oh, I carry water bottles too…[Read more]

Sunflower,
You assume that you’ll have cell phone coverage that can handle data. Usually not the case. Text messages even sometimes take several minutes to send.

Memorable RAGBRAI Sight – On my first RAGBRAI, new to the whole thing. I came up on the back side of a bus barn and on the door in the side of the building was a Hazardous Materials Sign listing 4 or 5 items and another sign under it saying “Not all Hazardous Materials within Listed above”. Over both of these signs it had a hand lettered sign…[Read more]
