The surviving co-founder of RAGBRAI is sharing his thoughts as event organizers from the Des Moines Register split.
Four staff members announced the split Tuesday and said they created a new event called "Iowa's Ride," which will run at the same time as RAGBRAI. Registration is already open for "Iowa's Ride."
The Des Moines Register said RAGBRAI will continue with signups starting Nov. 15.
The split is in response to how the Register and parent company Gannett reported the story of Carson King. King gained national attention with a sign he held at the Cy-Hawk in Ames in September, asking for beer money.
He raised $3 million which he donated to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.
