Driving the information: This shall be my seventh 12 months using throughout the state of Iowa.

🚲 My very own suggestions:

- Tools does make a distinction. In the event you’re using the entire week, a street bike shall be a lot simpler than a hybrid.
- My must-eats: Mr. Porkchop, Beekmans and any native Chinese language restaurant in an in a single day city.
- Some folks do not pay or “bandit” on RAGBRAI. Do not try this. For one, when you wreck, RAGBRAI will decide up each you and your bike.
- And all the time cease to pet the animals.
