RAGBRAI route

Cycsk said:
I don't think they sold RV passes for the RV Village. The RAGBRAI Ames map that I picked up at the Ames Farmers Market showed several spots designated for RV parking, but they didn't include the RV Village.

Also, it seems that there will be a "Welcome Center" at the east end of the bridge. It will have some food trucks and I think even Ames Lager samples. But not full RV or tent camping. Good look keeping people out. They will need patrols on both ends.

Spots were definitely sold in the RV lot. $100 per.

It makes sense. I was surprised when the map I got on Saturday at the RAGBRAI booth at the Ames Farmers Market didn't see them using the RV Village.

Yes. Last time I believe it was on the actual field's perimeter concrete. Think the ramp by Jacobsen was the entry and exit.

They were handing out stickers on the way out and the concrete on the ramp and parking lot was littered with them.

Am I reading this quote out of the Des Moines Register correctly?! This was in a recent RAGBRAI article.

There's still a chance to make a few more of those memories, though, as the ride passes through the center of Iowa's premier college town, Iowa City, and descends to the Mississippi at the scenic old river town of Muscatine.

Who gives the author the authority to make this statement?

Life and facts do. I love Ames and hate all things U of I, but IC is running laps around every place in Iowa, college town or not.

That's not for this year. We're finishing in Davenport, not Muscatine.

True, choices of death in the heat in Davenport. Bike the RAGBRAI or run the Bix 7 tomorrow morning. Niece is running da Bix, hope she takes it easy. It's crazy hilly and always stupid hot and humid. I ran it four times back when I wasn't such an old guy. DND.
 
I was surprised when I looked closer at the map they could have just as easily ended the ride at Muscatine and not had to go into Davenport.
 
The riders get to look at the Mississippi for about 30 miles.

That is not the comfy chair, it is the Spanish Inquisition.
