While thinking about access, on RAG ’21 an overnight town had limited amphitheater seating to which access was granted to only those wearing wristbands.

Reminds me of the bagpipers marching through the Main Campround in Emmetsburg last year.
It is such rare and unique things that make lasting memories of each town.

My RAGRBAI’s aren’t complete without a few miles cycling along with and listening to this cyclist. Perfect cycling tunes!

The Roosevelts have a solid top 10 in their video:

Let’s call it Day -1 so it’s a thing. (I just can’t wait!)

“Biker up!” Watch out for those riders.

That reminds me that most towns traditionally have a grand sign, colorful mural, or large icon that make a nice collection of images. Pressure mounts with each proceeding town to not miss one and collect them all. Once, a not-to-be-identified rider doubled back just to not miss the selfie.

“Cold pop” 25 cents. Gotta love it!

Oh, yes! We saw the group wearing thong underwear on the outside of their shorts last year. We thought for sure the riders must have lost a bet.

Once, we pitched our tent is the shade of the school only to have the early morning dew drops constantly dripping off the school eave. We laughed at our “wise” choice in location.

I am wondering about traditions riders hold dear. I am aware of wheel-dipping, temporary “virgin” tattoos, and signing Mr. Pork Chop’s bus. My daughter and I love crazy cycling socks, but for tradition we swap singles so we are mismatched together. I am sure there are more we need to try.

Thanks for the brief summary. There are many things to see on RAG ’23.
Around here “old” is 1990, not 1890.

In thinking further, Id rather wait in a long line with a bunch of RAGBRAI riders for an $8 beer than spend a moment in a car in traffic. I’m cutting back just a bit these days (while also training) so I can enjoy everything come RAG ’23

1 Pi (pecan, please) in the mouth is worth 2 down the road. Come to think of it, Pi is a big deal on RAGBRAI

Hello T. Gap. How’s the Misses? To pass the time ’til July I’ve been watching videos from previous rides finding an interest in rider’s verbal expressions throughout the week noting how they (we) change from day 0 to day 7.
How about capturing riders faces in a study focused on the optimism, exertion (physical and mental), perhaps even some…[Read more]

Just thinking, the Saylorville bridge would be an excellent place for the Guinness World Record officials to count cyclists (maybe using a video camera to validate the number). More important, it is now March so July must be just around the corner!

I was disappointed with $8 beers on RAG ’22 but what-do-ya-know, $8 turned out to be the going rate for festival beers at my state fair. In contrast $8 will get us a cold six pack from Hyvee.

I’m packing a headlight & taillight thinking I may want to try riding as a caboose. It’s got to chill back there!

100,000? Make that 100,001 because my daughter just registered planning to use the RAG’s Main Campground. “L” is going to be epic. I Say bring it!
