What are a pair of jet bombers doing on RAGBRAI's logo for its 2025 ride?
Look closely at the silhouetted planes on the logo, released Friday night, and you'll see they're B-52s, and that the Roman numerals indicate the July 20-26 event is the 52nd edition of the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa.
The theme: "Take flight."
This year's theme is all about embracing the freedom of the open road and soaring through Iowa's stunning landscapes on two wheels," RAGBRAI said in a news release.
Many riders thought the logo for the 2024 ride, featuring a house with an arched window reminiscent of the American Gothic House in Eldon, was a hint the ride would pass through that southeast Iowa town — and they were right.
