As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa next month will look and feel much like those held over the 47years before the canceled 2020 ride, organizers say.
RAGBRAI officials, who announced in December that the ride would return July 25-31, initially planned to require masks and to impose safe social distance requirements in vendor lines and at off-bike events. They also said they might consider staggered starts for riders, if warranted, to cut down on crowding; COVID-19 testing or proof of vaccination; and health screenings.
