The director of the bike ride that’s competing with RAGBRAI said hundreds of people have already signed up.
“Took people by surprise, like, all of a sudden there’s a new ride out there so a lot of people are waiting and seeing talking to team members,” said TJ Juskiewicz, Director of Iowa’s Ride. “We’ve received so many calls from all over the world saying 'hey we’re looking forward to seeing what happens'.”
Juskiewicz was hosting a new nonprofit called Iowa’s Festivals and Events. The idea is to help event coordinators across the state of Iowa network and focus on the strengths and weaknesses.
