There will be a RAGBRAI. This is why they changed the dates.

I’m almost willing to bet that this was a compromise between TJ and RAGBRAI through their mediator.

I have not heard a more perfect analogy that this one, klkoopman! That’s pretty hilarious.

I love the new jersey designs for next year. However, I have two suggestions:
1) Increase the size of the logos on the front and back
2) Add the following “RAGBRAI 2020: Iowa’s Ride
LOL…too soon?

It looks like it’s starting a week earlier than last year. I’m sure we will see him on RAGBRAI then.

Great to hear, Ken! I’m looking forward to the newsletter.

I don’t think we will see Lance on RAGBRAI or whatever ride in July. His Tour de France podcast made him a ton of cash last year so I think he’s going to stick to that

I don’t disagree that it would be a way out of the current situation but, unfortunately, I think the toothpaste has been squeezed out of the tub if you know what I mean.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Amiable Split Option? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 weeks ago
Exactly. Please don’t think of this situation as a divorce where the two parties split property and children. Think of it as it is: A former employee taking advantage of a situation in order to advance their own agenda.

Are we sure “Paige Palombo” isn’t T.J.’s burner account? lol
reedkennethia replied to the topic RAGBRAI, its just a name Gannett owns in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 3 weeks ago
Amen. To these people who don’t want to ride RAGBRAI now because it’s gotten too corporate, I’ve got a couple things:
1) Technically it’s been a corporate ride since 1985 when Gannett bought the DMR. That never stopped anyone from riding in the last 34 years. And..
2) T.J.’s been in charge since 2003. In that time the sponsorships have exploded.…[Read more]

I got news for you: RAGBRAI has been a corporate ride since 1985 when Gannett bought the DMR. Stop with your faux right-wing trolling, Prince-Page…err, Randi. LOL

Wait, what they did to Carson King? You mean gave him national exposure, gave him a platform to not only raise money for charity but also discuss the ills of racism. On top of the fact that he raised more money after the article was published. I read the ENTIRE article and not just one paragraph. Put down your pitchforks, the DMR was doing it’s…[Read more]

Someone else said this about the situation and it’s completely accurate: The people who are signing up for Iowa’s Ride are the same people who burned their Nikes and boycotted the NFL. I tend to agree with this seeing how many of my more conservative friends are bashing RAGBRAI in full support of Iowa’s Ride. TJ has basically created a “Red Ride”…[Read more]

I’m completely with you on the ride not being political but how has the DMR made it political? They’ve been pretty status quo when it comes to the ride.

I love hearing a prospective of someone from another state on this topic. You are free of any bias to either side. This is exactly the way we should be looking at this problem.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Sides are being taken in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 4 weeks ago
It was bad for TJ, IMO. He didn’t give me any straight answers. It actually swayed me against the new ride.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Which Ride Will "Win"? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 4 weeks ago
This was not a good interview for TJ. It did not instill confidenece in his outfit. It made me actually switch from his side back to RAGBRAI. It raised more questions than it actually answered.
