RAGBRAI Day 1 – And they said Iowa was flat

Look at the vertical climb for this day: nearly 4,000 feet. And they said Iowa was flat!
Average speeds are meaningless in RAGBRAI because of the pass-through towns, which are more accurately described as “WALK THROUGH” towns. Every Kiwanis, Rotary, 4-H, Knights of Columbus, church and school group sells food and has unusual attractions. Each rider must dismount and walk the bike through town, thus spoiling average speed numbers. We are told to remember that RAGBRAI is a ride, not a race.

  • FIT Course

    Best format for turn-by-turn directions on modern Garmin Edge Devices

  • TCX Course
