All Types 🚲 🏕️
RAGBRAI is for all types: all types of “rides” for instance. There were road bikes; fat-tire bikes; tandems (was Daisy out there somewhere?); bicycles for three; and four-wheel fat-tire bikes. I once caught a glimpse of a rider on a unicycle; and there were even roller-bladers out there!
RAGBRAI is for all types of riders, too. Some are the lean, super-athletic sort; but I can assure you, I’m not among them! 🫤 Some riders aren’t the super-lean sort; but what of it? RAGBRAI is for all shapes; sizes; ages; and fitness levels.
You’ll find all types of food out there too; and I do mean food everywhere: from pork chops to ice cream to grilled cheese. And, of course, pie.
Food Everywhere! 🥩 🌽 🥧
Food everywhere was actually a bit of a problem. With all types of food that I wanted to try, which one should I choose?
I often gravitated to whichever booth was closest. Along the way I had, among other things, breakfast burritos; some kind of tacos; grilled cheese with bacon; and Chinese noodles with veggies.
Too often, the servings were too big; and I didn’t want to cram myself before getting back on the bike. That meant tossing what I didn’t eat right away. I didn’t feel good about wasting food; but I couldn’t take it with me. For one thing, I wasn’t sure how safe the leftovers would be to eat after an hour or more in hot sun. I needed a trailer with an ice chest!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
