wrj replied to the topic 77 Days TILL RAGBRAI What are you excited for??? in the forum RAGBRAI XLIX – 2022 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m excited for,
enjoying a craft beer and a brat
soaking in a swimming pool after the day’s ride
most of all I’m excited to be riding my bike on roads that for that one week of the year are owned by
cyclists not motorists!

wrj replied to the topic What is the issue around town shut down times? in the forum Miscellaneous 10 months, 1 week ago
Some “professional” shutdown time riders find a shady spot to wait it out. After a time everything opens up again and you can then find what you are seeking. If you find yourself behind the shutdown, just wait it out. No worries.

Superbicyclerepairman, I’m just checking to see if you got my private message?
wrj replied to the topic Found Karras Loop Patch in the forum Lost and Found 1 year, 3 months ago
It leaves me with the dilemma of what do I do with it if no body claims it. I know now that if I find anything again I will turn it in to Ragbrai lost and found and let them handle it.
wrj replied to the topic 2021 Rider Numbers in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year, 4 months ago
In our group, roughly 11% of our fully registered cyclists did not show up to ride. too hot? too covid? days too long? I don’t know. How about other groups? Did you have no-shows as well? Maybe that explains the discrepancy between reported and actual numbers of riders.

You can find the route by clicking on XLVII, then 2021 Host Towns then scroll down.
However I don’t understand the route.
wrj replied to the topic Storm Lake no longer host town??? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 1 year, 11 months ago
If Le Mar is the start town? that makes Sunday at least an 80 mile ride. Will Le Mar still be the start town? or is another town the start town?
wrj replied to the topic "Clean" RAGBRAI 2021? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 1 month ago
I think daily covid health checks for everyone would help. Ask those 5 or 6 health questions and do a temperature check. It could be done anywhere people are waiting in line, showers, kybos, beer tents. Once they pass, issue them a lock-on wrist band like Ragbrai uses. Have a different color band for each day. When I go to the pool or gym, I am…[Read more]
wrj replied to the topic Rim vs. Disc Brakes, Worth While for Buying a New Bike? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 2 months ago
The last bike I bought, which I didn’t really need, has rim brakes. Hydraulic disc brakes were not in the budget. I’m a S.O.B. so rim brakes are just fine. One stage of the TDF this year was won on a rim brake bike. I think some of the good points about disc brakes don’t have anything to do with braking and modulation.
1. Disc brakes maybe allow…[Read more]
wrj replied to the topic RAGBRAI, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone RAGBRAI XLVIII to 2021. in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 7 months ago
So… 3 things
1. Thanks Ragbrai for making the correct call on 2020.
2. Ragbrai 2021 What do you think the odds are that it will be cancelled? I think 50/50.
3. When you can, spend some of your refunded Ragbrai fees with your LBS.
Ride safely!
wrj replied to the topic IOWA Ride(Dubuque) to RAGBRAI(Clinton) Parking situation. in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2020 2 years, 10 months ago
I’m also looking for long term parking (9 days) of course there is long term at Clinton airport but a little pricey. When Ragbrai gets closer, hopefully a cheaper option Ragbrai related will be offered.
wrj replied to the topic RAIN! in the forum Miscellaneous 2 years, 10 months ago
So…rain. People are all over the place with recommendations, from don’t worry about it just enjoy it to buy good rain gear and have it with you always. They are all correct. The thing is to know thyself. Do you get cold riding in the rain? Be prepared. If rain serves to cool you off in a good way, then don’t worry about it. I remember riding…[Read more]
