If you miss the truck or have a major mechanical problem find a way to the local Hy-Vee Grocery. There will be three or four or maybe half a dozen team busses in the parking lot plus a handful of other support vehicles parked while drivers replenish supplies and enjoy a leisurely breakfast.

Sleep mask, that pole you pitched your tent next to so that you could lean your bike on the pole may be a zillion lumen street light. Pinch light, the Kybo has no light switch. Toilet paper or paper towel in a sandwich bag tucked into a jersey pocket, that Kybe may be out of paper and that corn field surely is out of paper. Ear plugs,…[Read more]

Public library may be the answer. If you drive to an off route town you would be assured of very little traffic to contend with. Or, maybe use the library in your current overnight town then drive to the next overnight town. Be sure to have a paper Iowa map, the RAGBRAI route map and the truck route map.

I expect registration to be extended thru May 1. LCM: I believe this is your second boycott of the ride. Correct? Please reconsider, politics is no reason to miss any bike ride.

Amazing that Fort Dodge hotel rooms would be available in late March. There are many more hotel rooms in Waterloo/Cedar Falls with a metro population of 170K vs Ft Dodge at 24K. This may well be another sign of a low turn-out for this year’s ride.

I have more than just a feeling that volunteers and vendors will be fewer in numbers than previous years. So…I think that carrying a few munchie bars and two, not one, water bottles would be prudent. Also, when one water bottle empties I begin to look for the next chance to refill. I have seen some long stretches in other years when water…[Read more]
