I would think that it’s going to be south of 80 for the majority of next year’s ride. It seems to fit the pattern. Anyhow, here’s what I have: Council Bluffs, Atlantic, Winterset, Pella, Oskaloosa, Fairfield, Mt. Pleasant, and Burlington.

I’m really curious to know the fees they were being charged. I would hope that they weren’t getting charged as much as the beer vendors.

I’m not sure why anyone would take the time to troll the forum page for an organized biking event. These people should spend their time more wisely by, oh I don’t know, RIDING THIER BIKE. 🙂

Yeah, don’t think it’s going anywhere.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Last year?? in the forum Miscellaneous 2 months, 1 week ago
That’s absolutely absurd. I’ve not heard that. Where did they get their information?

I actually mapped the route I had above earlier. It’s 56ish miles.
reedkennethia replied to the topic "Humongus" Hill on Day 3 in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 2 months, 1 week ago
There’s a rumor going around that some people want to avoid the hills by taking a shortcut down through Rippey and Perry, get over to Woodward, cross the Trestle Bridge, go to Slater and hit up the route by Kelly just south of Ames. Seems a little risky to me. Just do the hills, you know?
reedkennethia replied to the topic "Humongus" Hill on Day 3 in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 2 months, 1 week ago
As I recall, the hill right before Boone was a pain in the butt, but only because of the amount of riders climbing the hill at the same time. RAGBRAI-wise, nothing beats Potter’s Hill. That may be the single biggest leg-busting hill I’ve climbed in the state of Iowa.

If you can’t find beer on the ride, you are in the wrong place pal. 🙂

The vast majority of the vendors are Iowa based vendors so the money spent stays in Iowa. I just think having some of these vendors in town could cause a bottleneck in some places and cause longer lines. It could also push people to more “off route” activities, which I know is something RAGBRAI doesn’t necessarily like. I get what T.J. is saying…[Read more]

I would think that between now and RAGBRAI something would be worked out to accommodate Mr. Porkchop, BikeIowa, IowaCraftBeerTent, etc. The thing that makes those places special is that they are all out on the route in the middle of nowhere.
reedkennethia replied to the topic How will we find out? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I know of a larger team (not mine) that hasn’t got and email and there’s nothing in their profiles. I’ve never heard of a team of that size not getting in.

Got my email around 8am. In like Flynn.
reedkennethia replied to the topic uh oh… this was on Drudgreport today in the forum Miscellaneous 4 months ago
The Lake Delhi Dam actually failed on 7/24, which was Tuesday of RAGBRAI. Downtown Manchester was under water and there were whispers of somehow trying to get another town in the area to be an emergency host.

I’ve done 11 RAGBRAIs and I’ve never heard of someone not getting selected.
