If you fail to find a ride you could just bike to Clinton on Elvira Road (F15). It is only 19 miles.

Dewitt to Clinton on F14 (Elvira Road) is barely 20 miles. I would guess they Register will add some miles. Mcausland , Low Moor might make the cut. I would love to see the ride pass through Camanche but traffic issues might prevent that as a possibility.

“The mortality rate of flu is just under 2%” I think it is a LOT lower than 2%. More like .1%

I have heard Wisconsin has some incredible trails. Are they mostly riddable with 23 x 700C tyres?

rjjensenia started the topic Do you coast down hills? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 6 months ago
When you come to a significant hill, do you peddle down to keep your momentum up, or do you try to conserve energy for the long days ride and coast. I personally try to limit my energy output and tend to coast down, so as to not expend too much effort. 75 miles for me is tough enough, so I take advantage of gravity every chance I get.
rjjensenia replied to the topic Day Six, full route. Thoughts? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 3 years, 7 months ago
IA-22, is not much fun on any given day, but on ragbrai, i bet it will be fine. What year did Ragbrai last pass through Hills? Mid 90s???? I see we do not hit sand road until after Hills. That makes for a much hiller route, but it does let us grab a brew at The Old 218 Tap.
