Each month we will publish ten tips to help you prepare for RAGBRAI LII. Now that RAGBRAI LII registration launched in November, it’s time to start really looking forward to 2025.
Here are our Top 10 Tips to Prepare for RAGBRAI LII in December:
1. Register for the RAGBRAI Route Announcement Party – registration opens Monday, December 2! You can find info here on RAGBRAI.com
2. Set up your indoor bike trainer for the winter!
3. Add a little RAGBRAI to your holidays with our Gingie Classic Holiday Ornament!
4. Crosstrain by enjoying winter sports, cross country skiing, hiking, sledding, you name it!
5. Binge RAGBRAI videos on YouTube. You can find our Channel @RAGBRAI_Iowa!
6. Take advantage of seasonal sales to stock up on camping or cycling supplies that you might need. You can find the RAGBRAI Official Bike Shops here!
7. Bundle up and take a winter spin on your fat bike, mountain bike, gravel bike, or for the brave… road bike! Tires inflated slightly less than normal will provide a larger surface area on the ground, and increased traction.
8. Begin designing your custom team jerseys from Primal Wear.
9. Check in with your teammates and RAGBRAI friends and wish them Happy Holidays!
10. Perfect your Iowa favorite Scotcharoo recipe!
