Kate Perkins replied to the topic route maps with distances between pass through towns in the forum Miscellaneous 3 months, 1 week ago
Now that the daily maps are posted on the website, you can make laminated cards, similar to the ones provided by the Iowa hospital association, for yourself, in case you’re not going to make the expo before they run out. Download the image file, insert the image file in a powerpoint file or similar, size the images, and print the file out. Then…[Read more]
Kate Perkins replied to the topic Lottery results? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I haven’t heard anything either. I see on the enmotive site that I’m registered, but you can be registered & not be selected in the lottery, right? I thought that if we rolled over our registrations from last year, we were guaranteed a spot? Do I remember that wrong?

I ran a bunch of Iowa’s Ride’s webpages through the wayback machine, and although I didn’t do every page, I found nothing that had been updated after Oct 16th. The wayback machine is an internet tool that allows you to see when web pages have been updated & what they looked like in the past.
Kate Perkins replied to the topic Bike speed while training and/or on Ragbrai in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 4 months ago
I don’t think training speed is the issue. At most you have to make around 80 miles a day, & it’s best but not required to be off road by 6:00 pm when SAG ends. That’s pretty doable even at 10 miles an hour, plus your average speed on the ride is affected by a lot of things, like crowds, hills, headwinds, lines at food stands, stuff you stop to…[Read more]
Kate Perkins replied to the topic Registered for 2018 -but difficulty paying online in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 11 months ago
I emailed info@ragbrai.com about this. I haven’t heard back, probably because of the holiday. Some services are taxable in Iowa, but I don’t see the ragbrai type of service on the list of taxable services. Here’s the list: https://tax.iowa.gov/iowa-sales-and-use-tax-taxable-services-0
