Denton Kernodle replied to the topic Lottery a formality or what? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 8 months ago
Also, I have noticed that after the “week passes” are mailed there are a lot of passes for sell on the secondary market…that is where people sell their passes because it turns out they can’t do the ride but they have passes. I suggest that if you don’t get a “week pass” you watch the secondary market for passes. I have noticed that they are…[Read more]

Because I cant ride the whole week (time commitments) I signed up for “days”. Last year I signed up for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I got my wrist band in plenty of time. This year I have signed up for Wednesday through Saturday and hoping that I get them like last year. I talked with an official with the ride and they said that the “day”…[Read more]
Denton Kernodle replied to the topic Camping in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 8 months ago
I have never camped in the “official RAGBRAI” camp, in the past camping in a chartered camp ground. Does the RAGBRAI camp have community tent and chairs, cold drinks and coffee?

Last year I joined the ride on Wednesday in Charles City and left my truck there. I had prearranged to meet a group at the end of the ride going my way back to Charles City. They were going further northwest. I met up with them and for $50 they dropped me off as they went through Charles City. Worked great!
This year I am meeting the ride in Ames…[Read more]
Denton Kernodle replied to the topic Opinions on other Charters???? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 9 months ago
Last year I used Out Of State Charter and really enjoyed it. They were friendly and everything worked out great. They had meeting tents and chairs set up with refreshment at the end of the ride, my bag with my tent was always in the camp ground on time…great experience and I recommend them.

I loved everything about 2017 RAGBRAI, however I would like to find better coffee in the morning!
Denton Kernodle replied to the topic Selling on Route in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 9 months ago
I suggest that if you are close to an over night town, you set up on the morning side of town. That way you can sell breakfast items. I remember that breakfast (coffee) is the hardest thing to find.
Denton Kernodle replied to the topic Options for Finish to Start town. in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 9 months ago
Last year I drove my truck to an over night town where I started the ride. I posted a note on the “form” page that I needed a ride from finish town back to where I left my truck and got two or three responses. I paid $50 to ride back to my truck, about a 2 hour ride. So, post a note that you need a ride and someone will answer. You have plenty of…[Read more]
Denton Kernodle replied to the topic sleep! in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 9 months ago
My advise to anyone, newbies and oldies, get a lightweight tent, about 5 lb, learn to erect it fast and plan to tent camp. Also, get a good air mattress and pillow. You can do like the rest of us, pack it all in a duffel bag every day and let the transport truck haul it to the next camp. The tent idea opens up a lot of easy options. With a tent…[Read more]
Denton Kernodle replied to the topic What would you do different next year? in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 10 months ago
Last year was my first year to ride the RAGBRAI, I used a small one person tent that is lightweight, a blanket and long underwear…this all worked just fine. I also had a good sleeping mat that worked very good. I only carried one set of biking shorts and jersey but wash them out each night, and that worked out great. Last year I camped with a…[Read more]
