jonathanse


I'm from Iowa and have known about RAGBRAI for several years. I originally thought it was more of an Iowa thing until I saw national news talking about it. So i want to know how popular is it for bike riders outside of Iowa?


Answer
RAGBRAI is the biggest bike event in the world. It Is very popular outside Iowa. I have met riders from many different states on my one ride. I am considering doing it again this year. I am from California.

10,000 plus riders on the road at any given time it is like no other bike ride. A rolling Mardi Gras, State Fair type atmosphere with stop over towns every 10 miles or so. The amount of riders coming through normally dwarf the local town populations by a long shot

It is an Iowa thing that is shared with the world. It is on the National Geographic 100 things to do list.

must things to do on Ragbrai
eat at a school, church, fire house
