I did the nyc ride in 2011- I never walked my bike so much- so much construction- i assume they have fixed it!!
NYC is fun

Look at their point of view- they will be over run for 24 hours and will have to try and get extra staff ect- a hotel cost more- plus they want to make some money

Ken Koprowski replied to the topic 2 new riders looking for a team in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 year, 9 months ago

I think you are too old to join a team- i have not done the ride yet either but it looks for the years of trolling – many teams will start posting soon that they need people- last year there were many openings – i just could not make it
see ya on the road

Ken Koprowski replied to the topic Hmm, should I fly to Sioux Falls or Omaha? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 year, 9 months ago

where are you coming from ? Are you flying with your bike? I sold my bike box when I moved to LA- looking at shipping it once the website is up- i am trying to figure out the same thing-
Fly into the west
-American is the only airline into Sioux City
– Omaha , then charter up to start town
East
it looks like- fly out of Cedar Rapids or Des…[Read more]

Southwest. – I did it from Denver to Burbank round trip last year. But I had a bike box.
They seem the best to deal with

Ken Koprowski started the topic Traveling to RAGBRAI via Airplane in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 year, 10 months ago

I am trying to figure out the best airports to get to Iowa.
I know the route is not out yet but is there a charter service that will pick up and return to Des Moines Iowa? LAX has non- stop into there and it seems you can bring your bike for free now.

Sweet you get it and you are a strong rider!!!!! That triple bypass is for those who are not right in the head!!!!!!!!!

Ken Koprowski replied to the topic Iowa’s Ride new dates in the forum Miscellaneous 1 year, 11 months ago

I lived in Colorado the last 6 years triple bypass is a hard one. The biggest problem most out of staters deal with is the altitude – it can kick your butt.
I got sick a few times and I lived there ( beer might have helped )

Ken Koprowski replied to the topic Iowa’s Ride new dates in the forum Miscellaneous 1 year, 11 months ago

That is a cool idea. Would make logistic sense for some folks.
I have to fly in – this will be a wait and see moment
