Ragbrai is the longest running annual bike ride in the world. Every year tens of thousands of bicyclists ride across the state of Iowa from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River.
This year was the 50th anniversary of Ragbrai and had a record participation around 60,000 bikers. The route this year covered 500 miles. With temperatures over 100f and 16,000ft+ elevation gain it was not an easy ride by any means. But its not only about the ride, it's about the people and experiences you get along the way.
I'm still on the fence whether I'll go again next year. But knowing myself I'll eventually talk myself into it.
