The thousands of bicyclists expected to converge on Fort Dodge as part of RAGBRAI this summer will find food and entertainment downtown.
The City Council on Monday approved some items needed to get ready for the July 26 influx of bicyclists.
The second leg of the annual trek will be between Sac City and Fort Dodge. The bicyclists will arrive in Fort Dodge July 26 and stay overnight.
City Manager David Fierke told the council that the former Sunkissed Meadows Golf Course will be the main campground for the bicyclists.
He said Central Avenue between the City Square and 12th Street will be the vendor area for food, beverages and other items.
Eighth Street downtown will be the entertainment area, he added.
The council unanimously approved an agreement with RAGBRAI organizers Monday.
Under the terms of that agreement, RAGBRAI will:
• Pay the city $15,000.
