Last year, RAGBRAI stopped in Davenport, IA. the same weekend as the Bix 7 race! It was wild fun in one weekend. This year, it's a different location.

RAGBRAI. It's a bucket list item for many cyclists I know. Ten-thousand rider, 419.9 miles and the endurance to climb the over 18,000 feet during this ride. It's an honorable goal and I wish them all the best of luck!

The route this year is among the shortest in RAGBRAI history, as well as not as hilly and difficult.

I am always in awe of the dedication in determination and training for these events. Seeing the pile of cyclists on the road is an absolute site to behold. I think it's wonderful for my friends who love doing this. I'm just happy that I personally, remember even how to ride a bike!
