Recap/Results

Thanks to those who sent pictures!!

A great stress-free week spent with good friends! I wouldn't spend the last week in July any other way!

Lots of off route riding this year which was a different and new perspective on the ride.

Awesome weather every day except for a little rain on Wednesday evenng (I think)

Description

Road

Distance - 471

RAGBRAI®, The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa®, is an annual seven-day bicycle ride across the state. RAGBRAI is the longest, largest and oldest touring bicycle ride in the world. This rolling celebration of Iowa attracts participants from all 50 states and many foreign countries. It has covered thousands of miles through the years, and hundreds of thousands of riders have hopped in the saddle to pedal part of those miles. RAGBRAI is a bicycle ride-not a race. It started in 1973 as a six-day ride across the state of Iowa by two Des Moines Register columnists who invited a few friends along. It is held the last full week in July and hosted by The Register's front-page cartoonist, Brian Duffy and a team of Register staffers. RAGBRAI is planned and coordinated by The Des Moines Register, and riders who participate in RAGBRAI understand that they do so at their own risk. The people of Iowa truly make RAGBRAI the special event that it is by opening up their towns and communities to participants. We hope you can enjoy this Iowa hospitality and join us for a memorable trip across the state.

Route

The RAGBRAI route averages 471 miles and is not necessarily flat. It begins somewhere along Iowa's western border on the Missouri River and ends along the eastern border on the Mississippi River. We change the route each year and announce the overnight towns the first weekend in February in The Des Moines Register and on the RAGBRAI web site (www.ragbrai.org).

Registration

The route and application are usually printed in The Des Moines Register on the last Sunday in February. The application will also be available on the RAGBRAI website (www.ragbrai.org)
