Each month we will publish ten tips to help you prepare for RAGBRAI LII. Spring is just around the corner and it’s time for even the most fair-weather cyclists to think about getting in some outside miles!
Here are our Top 10 Tips to Prepare for RAGBRAI LII in March:
1. Get the official Newsletter
Stay up to date on all things RAGBRAI with our Newsletter! From news and upcoming events to town information, ride training, and more, we cover all things RAGBRAI in our monthly newsletter.
2. Visit a Neighborhood Bike Shop
This is a good time of year to hit up pre-season deals at your local bike shop! Scope out new parts, replace that grubby water bottle, or just get that tune up you’ve been putting off.
3. Start thinking about Logistics
Interested in having your car shipped from Orange City to Guttenberg? Our partner Mr. Car Shipper is here to help. They’ll move your vehicle from Orange City to a secure parking lot in Guttenberg, ready for you to pick up at the end of your RAGBRAI journey.
4. Get Nostalgic with our YouTube Channel
Follow the RAGBRAI YouTube Channel. We’ve got videos going back to 1989! And we’re always adding content, including replays of our monthly Town Halls.
5. Tune in to our Town Hall!
Speaking of Town Halls – join us virtually for our RAGBRAI LII March Town Hall on 3/5. Each month we will cover a different topic as we prepare for RAGBRAI LII. This week is for the newbies, with RAGBRAI 101. Be sure to register (it’s free!) ahead of time so that you can submit your questions.
6. Biking is better with Friends and Family!
Invite a friend to join your RAGBRAI team! The more the merrier – fill up that bus! Can’t take off a whole week? Maybe they could ride for just a few days, or join as a support driver.
7. Merch Alert!
Don’t miss our Patch Puzzle restock! These puzzles are flying off the shelf so don’t wait to pick up your pieces.
8. Tune in to Town Theme Announcements!
Overnight towns will begin revealing their themes this month – and a few are already out! Be sure you’re following their Facebook pages to stay up to date:
Or keep an eye on our RAGBRAI LII Route Page!
9. Price Increase Incoming
Registration prices for week long rider, day pass rider, and non rider go up on March 31. If you know you want to ride, register now and save yourself a little cash for the ice cream line.
10. New RAGBRAI.com
Check out our newly redesigned RAGBRAI.com website! Our streamlined design should load faster and be easier to find the information you need. Hope you love it!
