Jeremy. These seem pretty cool.. no pun intended. You just get them wet and then wait a few minutes for the case to cool? Does the outside of the case remain wet? Just curious. Thanks.

You might check some of these out… looks like some are rechargeable by a usbcable.

The first three Ragbraia I did I didnt refrigerate my insulin or anything and seemed to be ok. Last year I was with the pork belly charter and they allowed me and others to keep their medication in a fridge during the day. You might reach out to them to see if theres a way you they would allow your brother to do that even if youre not using…[Read more]

How does it help with hotels when no one knows the route until late January? I never understood why you have to be registered in order to take time off work or to ask for the time off.

Have you thought about posting something on Craigslist or offering someone $20 to drive you in their truck, van, etc to Le Mars?

Maybe adjust your stem? Or if you can get a bike fit, tell the fitter about your hands/wrists. They maybe able to change your positioning, stem and/or handlebars a little to relieve some of the stress put on your wrists.
Mike Howe replied to the topic RAGBRAI App in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 2 years, 10 months ago
DENBIKER…..same thing for me. Was doing that last fall. I emailed Ragbrai about it and I was told that the app wasn’t updated. Not sure why that would cause it to automatically close like that every time. Hopefully next year they will have the app up and running.
Mike Howe replied to the topic Has RAGBRAI mailed out rider packets? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 2 years, 10 months ago
I think Ragbrai posted something on their Facebook page yesterday that the remainder of the packets were being mailed out by the end of the week. The pictured that was included with the post looked like it had 50+ plus boxes of wristband/packets to be sent.
Mike Howe replied to the topic Contact Us link on Ragbrai page…. in the forum Miscellaneous 2 years, 12 months ago
Weird that it would mark me as spam and not allow me to send a message through the “Contact Us” link but would allow me to start a new topic on the Forum page. Was trying to message them about an error on the Ragbrai Shop page. When you click to purchase the 2021 Mens Logo Tee (the turquoise/blue/green one with the logo) it takes you to the…[Read more]

Does anyone else get the get the below message when trying to send a message to Ragbrai through the “contact us” link? I’ve tried sending a message and every time I get the below….

Eric, I’m not sure if the Wahoo Elmnt Bolt shows the elevation on the screen or not. I don’t pay attention the elevation so it might be there, but I don’t look at it. When I look at the stats after my ride the elevation is there. You can easily switch from one data field/stat up to nine very easily while riding by pushing a button. There are…[Read more]

I have the Wahoo Elmnt Bolt. I love it. Its easy to use and its also very easy to change how many stats you want to display at a time. It also has a feature that it will pause your ride once you slow down to a certain MPH (you chose how low). The feature comes in handy when your getting off your bike in the pass through towns so its not…[Read more]
Mike Howe replied to the topic "Clean" RAGBRAI 2021? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 3 months ago
Even with a staggered start, that pretty much gets thrown out the window when riders start stopping in the pass through towns. Unless you start giving people a time limit in the pass through towns and that would just be silly and not very Ragbrai-ish. All these are good ideas, but also create headaches for Ragbrai trying to enforce them or keep…[Read more]

If IBC or Ragbrai really wanted to raise money they would ask for a $5 donation for those who would love to hear Mootsman shut up and stop whining about everything.
whaaa I don’t like the logo….whaaa they emailed me about merch they’re selling…. whaaa my shorts werent stitched good enough years ago… whaa whaa whaa 😭
Mike Howe replied to the topic 2021 Route Announcement Party Livestream in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 5 months ago
I understand that. Heres another one… if they require the riders to get a test then what about the food vendors, merch vendors, the local people in the pass through/overnight towns, staff, etc. What would be the point of requiring it from riders but not from everyone else? Sounds like a huge headache than what its worth…
Mike Howe replied to the topic 2021 Route Announcement Party Livestream in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 5 months ago
I think requiring a covid test would be a logistics nightmare. Thinking out loud here… but all the people who have registered… did it say anything about requiring a covid test when they registered? If it doesn’t say it now or when you register, how can Ragbrai go back and change the terms of what you registered for and require it? Lots of…[Read more]
Mike Howe replied to the topic Crystal Ball in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 3 years, 5 months ago
Thanks for the info. I see where it says March 15th. I also see where they call it “this years race”. Which 1) it’s not a race and 2) There’s one month left in the year, so I doubt it’s held this year but hopefully it’s held in 2021 or next year.
