Iowa's Ride announced on Tuesday that it will go from a statewide ride held the week before RAGBRAI to a weekend event in Eldora.
The state of play: TJ Juskiewicz, the organizer of the ride, told Axios that COVID-19 hampered his efforts, since overnight towns are still wary of the pandemic.
What kept coming back was the safety of it," Juskiewicz said, citing severe weather concerns if riders couldn't have shelter.
Meanwhile, RAGBRAI is still going "full-steam ahead," according to Dieter Drake, the ride's new executive director.
