If you’re like us then you’re beyond excited for RAGBRAI L! And it’s months away… so what can you do now to prepare? Well we’ll tell ya!
Here are our Top 10 Tips to Prepare for RAGBRAI L in February:
- Register! The first RAGBRAI L registration price increase is on the horizon. Week long wristband prices will go up to $225 and Day Passes increase to $50 on March 1 so if you know you’re going to ride, register now! Info: https://ragbrai.com/ragbrai-l-registration/
- It’s time to get in shape! Check out the 2023 RAGBRAI Training Plan! Cycle Coach David Ertl has released his 2023 RAGBRAI Training Plan – click this text to check it out and start training!
- Check out the Special Edition GOAT Jersey by Primal Wear. RAGBRAI’s newest Special Edition jersey celebrates the fact that the ride is the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T.)! It features all eight RAGBRAI L 2023 Overnight Towns. It comes in both Men’s and Women’s styles.
- Bike outside? Lucky! If you live in a cold weather climate, don’t let the salt and slush sit on your bike frame. Be sure to wash or towel off your bike after each winter ride to avoid possible damage to your frame and components. And everyone knows a good looking bike is faster.
- The RAGBRAI 2023 Overnight Towns have begun releasing their logos. Things are getting really real. We will have Fun & G’Ames in Ames!
Storm Lake will announce their logo on March 7, and Davenport will announce theirs March 9. Stay tuned!
- This is a good time to take stock of your cycling equipment – does your tent from last year have any holes? Do you need more inner tubes? Maybe it’s time to replace that bike bag that’s hanging on by a thread. Visit your local bike shop!
- Overnight towns are revealing their Facebook and other social media pages. Follow them to keep tabs as their RAGBRAI L plans develop!

- Those who have experienced RAGBRAI before will tell you – cycling sandals are the footwear of choice for the discerning RAGBRAI Rider! In honor of our 50th, RAGBRAI and Shimano have partnered to create the ultimate cycling sandal. It’s lightweight, it’s “waterproof” (in quotes because… well it’s a sandal), and SPD compatible so you can clip in. Preorder yours today!
