Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Forming a Team in the forum Miscellaneous 2 years, 5 months ago
Larry,
About 2/3 of the way down on the registration home page it addresses that. Looks like the first person to register creates the team and then is the group leader of that team. Seems pretty simple.
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic "Clean" RAGBRAI 2021? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 7 months ago
I can sum up in 5 words ” A reliable and available vaccine.” Anything short of that and I would bet RAGBARI 2021 is in jeopardy. And if there is one by then everyone should have to show they have gone through the vaccination process.
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Rim vs. Disc Brakes, Worth While for Buying a New Bike? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 7 months ago
I just took 2 plus years building a new Lynskey Helix Pro road bike with disk brakes that I finished in early 2020 and have a fair amount of miles on it. Previously I rode a 1999 LiteSpeed Vortex rim brake bike.
Here is my take on this subject.
I have Shimano Ultegra 8070 DI2 Hydraulic Disk set up on my new bike. I love the disk brakes for…[Read more]

Pactimo all the way. Our team uses them and we are highly satisfied. They have jerseys in what they call Traditional(Club) fit and Aero(Race) fit. Really good for the cost when you do group orders.
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Anyone doing a DIY multi-day tour this summer? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years ago
Not exactly a tour but I will be doing a 7-day mountain bike adventure with my two boys to replace RAGBRAI. This would have been my 20-year old’s 4th RAGBRAI and 18 year old’s 1st. A bummer for all three of us(as well as all of you) that we will not be in Iowa in July but we looking forward to the next RAGBRAI when that happens.
We will be…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Bubba's Pampered Peddlers in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 1 month ago
Bubba,
Your explanation is no different than what I understood from Trykeman’s posts. Your “refund” policy is just a credit towards another ride. To me that is not a refund that is just a credit. Two very different things. You can wordsmith all you want but your cancelation policy minus $300.00 is what I would call a refund.
Under normal…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic RAGBRAI, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone RAGBRAI XLVIII to 2021. in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 1 month ago
Less than a month ago it was said on this forum that fear-based overreaction will be gone by mid-May. Think again.
It is clear that canceling RAGBRAI 2020 was the only prudent thing to do. It would be great if the scientists come up with solutions for dealing with the virus by then. If they do then we can all plan bike rides with others and…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic I'm almost 100 percent sure RAGBRAI will get cancelled in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 1 month ago
HAHA my under bet came in. Pure speculation on my part but still in the money. Some time speculating pays off.
. Bigbrad2008 just off by a hair but good speculating.

I applaud the decision. It was the right thing to do.
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Reduced Rider Limit for CV Compatible RAGBRAI in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 1 month ago
IMO no need for reducing the participation for RAGBRAI. In the interest of everyone’s health, it should be canceled. The fact is that even if one person in a small group of 25 had the virus he or she would infect others in that group. Along the way that one person then infects others all across the state. So no difference between 2,000-3,000…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic RAGBRAI decision April 15 in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 1 month ago
Do I sense some speculating going on?
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic I'm almost 100 percent sure RAGBRAI will get cancelled in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 1 month ago
I will speculate that on April 15 that RAGBRAI management will tell us of their decision to ride or not ride in the third sentence of their blog. Anyone want to speculate on the over/under on that?
If I was a betting man I would lay money on the under. Pure speculation on my part.
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Friday night tent camping in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 4 months ago
My son and I go to the start town Friday and we highly recommend it. There are many that do and then you get to see all the swell as the majority of people roll in on Saturday. Saturday ends up being very relaxing and fun. Great way to start the week.
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Who here will be riding BOTH Iowa Ride and RAGBRAI? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 4 months ago
I hope all of you that do Iowa’s ride have fun but I have no interest in supporting Iowa’s ride. I still can not overcome the BS that came out of Iowa’s ride camp. TJ had an agenda to take out/over Ragbrai on his own and I will always have a problem with that. I will spend twice as much as I normally do on RAGBRAI so that Iowa benefits as if I…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic RAGBRAI/Iowa’s Ride Info Session , December 1, 2019 in the forum Gatherings & Meetings 3 years, 6 months ago
Having just watched the TJ video from yesterday and I can say that it all sounds good but I still do not like how everything went down. It did nothing for me to change my mind.
I will be riding RAGBRAI and I look forward to the best RAGBRAI ever with Dieter and the new crew.
How many people were in attendance, from the one video it looked…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic Amiable Split Option? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 3 years, 7 months ago
At this point in time why should the DMR work with him at all? The time for that was long before he left. Reading between the lines would say he had no interest in that and what he wanted was to go out on his own and take over the last week in July in Iowa. Sometimes takeovers work sometimes they do not. We shall see.
I will be riding RAGBRAI…[Read more]
Luv 2 Ski replied to the topic IR Could Follow RAGBRAI and Ride Back to Start Town in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 3 years, 7 months ago
When this fiasco first unfolded I initially was not in either camp. As time went on and more information came out, and especially the interviews with TJ, it became obvious that splitting from RAGBRAI was in the works prior to the King event, and the reasons he stated for doing so seem very weak to me. TJ states that it is out of principle that…[Read more]
