Michrider !!! replied to the topic RAIN! in the forum Miscellaneous 3 years, 9 months ago
I’m thinking about doing my first RAGBRAI in 2020, but the thought of possibly riding a day (or more) in the rain doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. What happens if it rains during RAGBRI?? Just push on and ride through it? Is rain common during RAGBRAI??

The only year I’ve used Brancel was in 2007. They did a good job then & I have never heard negative comments about this Charter. However, my favorite Charter still remains PBV!!!

Brancel provides the service promised! That can’t be said for all charters! I’ve done RAGBRAI 13 times. Brancel is in second place in my book! PBV is my favorite charter!!! Not sure I can make it back this year, due to healthy challenges!

I used Brancel in 2010. They did very good job!!!

I know that Egan Bernal won the Tour de France, it was in the newspaper (even down here in Kentucky). However I can’t seem to find out who won RAGBRAI 2019!!! Can someone please tell me who won RAGBRAI 2019!!!

Michrider !!! replied to the topic Hills this year? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 4 years, 5 months ago
The cost/benefit of building a bike specific to Ragbrai doesn’t seem justifiable IMHO. Besides, as the Sage of Rabbit Hash once said, “There’s no hill in Iowa that I can’t walk!”
That sounds vaguely familiar, I guess be I did say it!!!

Michrider !!! replied to the topic Recumbent Riders in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 4 years, 6 months ago
I ride a Catrike 559. However, I’ve never ridden RAGBRAI on it!!! I’ve done the ride 10 times but always on my upright! Health problems will prevent me from doing this year’s version. Have fun and don’t forget the sunscreen, I just had a malignant melanoma removed from my right arm!!! I’ll be back!!! BTW, RAGBRAI don’t care!!!

Michrider !!! replied to the topic to helmet or not to helmet??? in the forum RAGBRAI XLV – 2017 4 years, 11 months ago
I never did fully recover after my total knee replacement (TKR-2015). I’ve had 3 additional surgeries since. I know people who have recovered nicely from TKR. I figure I’m the exception. I still struggle with Lefty!!! However, I bought a trike and am now a happy TRIKER!!! BTW, RAGBRAI don’t care!!!
