I read a couple articles that said Mason City and Dubuque are really pushing to host next year.

Way too early 2020 prediction: LeMars – Storm Lake – Humboldt – Iowa Falls – Waterloo – Manchester – Maquoketa – LeClair

I thought the roads going into Cumming were pretty brutal. I was kind of nervous rolling down those hills.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Injuries on the ride – 2019 in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 1 month, 3 weeks ago
There were a ton of people who went down on Tuesday from what I saw. Some of those roads were brutal.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Where to next year? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I think we will have a Le Mars or Rock Rapids to Clinton or LeClair route next year. We could go through towns like Humbolt and Iowa Falls, maybe the Cedar Rapids area. Those northernish routes are always the most fun.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Heat concerns in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 months ago
I remember riding into Marshalltown in 2012 and the bank sign saying 106. The day from Webster City was all south to M-Town and there was a strong south wind. It felt like riding into a hairdryer all damn day. That year, the weather finally got better on Friday. I’m not worried about the heat. Just stay hydrated and take breaks. After 2012, a…[Read more]
reedkennethia replied to the topic Host in Winterset Needed in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 months, 3 weeks ago
We had originally thought we had a host but we recently found out that there was a miscommunication somewhere. So, we thought we didn’t need to apply for housing like the rest of you.

Hello everyone, my team and our sister team are looking for a host in Winterset. Between the two teams, there will be approximatley 40 people. We would need room for tents and room to park the buses. Please respond if you are interested in hosting a couple of fun, veteran teams. Ken

My grandfather used to drive support for my old RAGBRAI team and I have pictures somewhere of him posing with fully nude women in the middle of town. Legend has it that they were sent down from Big Earl’s (a DSM strip club for those not in the DSM area). This was all a few years before my first RAGBRAI but all the Marne stories are fun to hear.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Is RAGBRAI too fun? in the forum Miscellaneous 5 months, 3 weeks ago
There’s no such thing as “too fun”. Once you starting doing RAGBRAI, it’s hard to see your summer without it. 12 year vet going on 13 here.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Doggos on RAGBRAI in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 6 months ago
I have to agree with Jay and Mootsman on this too. RAGBRAI would honestly be the last place I’d want my little guy to be on. There are so many distractions and so many ways they can run off and get lost. I always see that woman from Chicago with her dog in the basket every year and I can’t help but feel really bad for the little guy. Unless you…[Read more]
reedkennethia replied to the topic Pork Tornados in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 6 months, 2 weeks ago
I don’t think they’ve announced anything yet but if I had to make an educated guess, I’d say either Winterset or Indianola.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Guess the Route Contest in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I guessed five correct (CB, Atlantic, Winterset, Fairfield, and Burlington) but I haven’t heard a thing.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Electric assist bikes? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 6 months, 4 weeks ago
I’m seeing words like “advantage”, “disadvantage” and “cheating” used in this tread like they are talking about the Tour de France. The only competition on RAGBRAI is against yourself. RAGBRAI is what you make of it. You get there when you get there. Seriously, this thread needs to die already.
reedkennethia started the topic Overnight Town Entertainment in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 7 months ago
Now that we know where Hairball will be (Atlantic), does anyone have any inside information about who’s going to be playing where or who you’d like to see play on RAGBRAI? My prediction: Pork Tornadoes in Indianola.
reedkennethia replied to the topic Civility, please in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 7 months, 1 week ago
I completely agree, there’s no need any negativity. Also, why would ANYONE troll a RAGBRAI forum. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hear, hear!
reedkennethia replied to the topic Thoughts on pass through towns in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Don’t forget about Marne on Sunday. Possibly Cumming and/or Norwalk on Tuesday.
reedkennethia replied to the topic The Route's Out, What Do You Think? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Marne is in RAGBRAI folklore due to what happened on the 2001 ride. Giving them the opportunity to be an official pass-through town would bring things full circle for them.
