RAGBRAI- Bikepacking 2016 and 2017
While it’s not advised to stay in “Tent City” (it gets SO hot in there duirng the day and good luck finding your tent!) It makes a pretty spectacular photo.
Bike Parking, Iowa Style. Who needs a bike rack when you have a perfectly planted field of corn?
During RAGBRAI there are cyclists everywhere- over 20,000 of them on any given day. You pack individual kits in zoplock bags to not get everything soaked in the afternoon July thunderstorms. You stop in small towns along the way to refill your water and eat some brats. You stop right outside of towns at the Iowa State Beer Truck to have a beer *(or 3) before rolling the last couple of miles into town for the evening. You make new friends.
