The Guttenberg community is coming together to plan for the arrival of several thousand cyclists one July day.
The town was recently announced as the end point of the 52nd annual Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, known as RAGBRAI. The more-than-400-mile route starts July 19 on the other side of the state and ends in Guttenberg one week later, with riders dipping their tires in the Mississippi River.
“The entire community is pulling together,” said Guttenberg Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Matthew Brownfield. “(Planning for RAGBRAI) is a village effort.”
