Ryan, you've outdone yourself with this video. The story, surprises, lovely people we've seen years before... It's perfect! Keep up doing wonderful work to make us go out more.
Ryan, I've commented on a couple of your videos, but this is the one of RAGBRAI I have been waiting for because you were going through my town of Ankeny on your way to Des Moines! I hope Ames didn't leave a sour taste in your mouth because of your drone getting broke/stuck in the tree. I lived in Ames for close to 8 years and will always have a special place in my heart. GO CYCLONES!❤💛 It's only a 20-25 minute drive to get there from Ankeny so I feel as though it's pretty much in my back yard. I really wanted to try doing the Ames to Des Moines route, but other things came up that I was unable to. I also wanted to say that I feel as though you were a Midwestern in your past life Ryan, you seem so pleasant, nice, personable to be around and always having a good time, very similar to us Iowans. One of the many reasons I enjoy watching your channel/adventures! 🙂
I LOVED Ankeny!! Actually, I love all of Iowa!! Ames is super cool, I love the vibe of that town. Your midwestern charm brings out the best in everyone!!
Thank you! @@duzer 🙂Ames definitely has a particular vibe to it, I'll agree. 😅I think that's one reason why I love it so much, it tends to have a different feel from Ankeny, Des Moines, Iowa City, and any other smaller towns throughout. Watching your RAGBRAI videos makes me realize that Iowa does have more to offer than some might think and even towns I haven't even heard of pop up while you're cruising on by. 😁
Hahahaha Love the drone part...my drone did a similar thing, only mine flew over a barn and then landed on the other side. Thanks for another cheerful day at Ragbrai
If there's one thing that sticks in my mind about RAGBRAI it's the heat and humidity. Fun to see all the ways you are able to cool down. Quite a reunion day with Conner, Kevin, Jaz and Amelia all showing up during the day. Very fun to watch!
That drone retrieval was exciting. Great to see Kevin again. I like how the cast of characters grows as the days go on. I might have to join team Duzer in 2024 if I can pull it off.
Once again, I don't think I could handle riding and sleeping in the heat, but I smile all the way through your videos at the places you go, and the great people you meet! Great video Ryan!! DD
Perhaps Priority should consider sponsoring some kind of Team Priority for next year and have a bunch of Priority owners take part in this iconic event. t would make for great promotion for the brand.
The 100 mile day was intense. The farm at the 100 mile patch stop was such a refresher. That huge/long uphill going into Luther was quite a challenge. Riding through Jack Trice stadium was absolutely amazing too. Such a great end to such a long day. The ride from Ames to Des Moine was so fast, especially from Ankey to Des Moines. It felt like it was all downhill, and I just blasted that last segment. Downtown Des Moine was awesome to ride through too.
@@duzer what the hell. I m just watching the Ep.4 & got a comment from u..I m thrilled ..wow..gonna tell my Mom.. Love u Ryan..my inspiration.hope to meet u in person. Wow!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Oh oh, Ryan listen to this. This year's event marks the second Ragbrai that we talk about. It also means that we have been connected over here since about three years ago. (Maybe longer!?) Crazy how time flies. This was fun watching ❤
It just boggles my mind to see how many riders there where this year. When I did it in 2012, I thought that was bad, and there where only 8000 week long riders. I will do RAGBRAI again, and I am aiming for 2024. As for your drone. What most likely happened is interference from another drone controller. As a HAM radio operator, that is my best guess. But at least you got most of it :) Stay safe and warm.
Heck yeah! I've climbed trees like that for a $20 model rocket. I would certainly scurry up there for my drone for sure. Keep on keeping on Ryan! You are so inspiring!
Another 38 minutes of awesomeness and pure inspiration, loved every second😁Freezing fog here today so very different from Iowa😂I'm hoping to get out tomorrow, that's the beauty of being retired👍
ooooohh daaamn it was so entertaining to watch this video.... awesome people..... love what @Kevdoes that's just beautiful.. As always Dan is always my favourite.... and boy did I also scream after seeing Ameelia
That tree climbing was crazy, August 25 I was trimming a tree and the extension ladder was on a dead branch and the branch broke and I fell fourteen feet, eight hours in emergency , a broken collarbone and four fractured vertebrae and a sixty thousand dollar bill, thank god I have insurance , please that drone is not worth even forty thousand dollars and the possibility of dying, just something to think about, a fan for six years, please look up Mira they are in Mexico 🇲🇽
I am slightly surprised that other states haven't tried to emulate what Iowa so successfully does every year. I know it is a private undertaking, but it couldn't be done w/o the help of state and local govt. It does stimulate the economy and brings a positive image to the state.
There should be a like for every view just for the fact we got to watch him climb a tree with NO safety harness. This is a perfect time for the release of this series considering its snowing outside now and i cant ride.
Envision me at 59-year-old grandfather of 10, with his hands on his waist looking up at you, climbing that pine tree, and saying “Duzer what are you doing to that poor pine tree?!” Glad you got the drone.
She shows up at the very end...but just a heads up, we're not together anymore. We parted lovingly a few months ago and I'll always be her #1 fan. *and I wasn't flying near a tree, the drone took off and I couldn't control it
Let's hear it for IOWA NICE! Have you had any amazing experiences in the state of Iowa? I wanna hear your stories
As a lifelong Iowan frustrated with my state currently in culture - seeing this video makes me very happy.
I hear you!
Infectious positivity and enthusiasm, like always! Happy to see Amelia join the adventure!!
Iowa brings out the best in all of us!
So happy to see Amelia! Missed her.
Registered today! It’s game on in 2024!!!
Right on!! I’m psyched to see you out there
Ryan, you've outdone yourself with this video. The story, surprises, lovely people we've seen years before... It's perfect! Keep up doing wonderful work to make us go out more.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a great cast of characters on this day

Awesome. So fun. And an incredible surprise ending 😊😊😊
Sooo cute when Amelia made an appearance 🎉.....cycling bits good too😂❤
We were trying to get her to come all week lmao
Everybody loves Amelia
The citizens of Iowa are unbelievably nice and accommodating….what a fantastic state !!
I love Iowa so much!
Hahahaha Love the drone part...my drone did a similar thing, only mine flew over a barn and then landed on the other side. Thanks for another cheerful day at Ragbrai

Jumping in and out of water is a MUST!!

We’d love to have you!!

The heat is definitely uncomfortable, but all the ragbrai magic makes it tolerable
Always love seeing big kev!
He’s awesome

We're putting something together for next summer, and both of the founders will be there

I agree! Riding into Des Moines was speedy!
Folks must have a zillion blisters, with all of that long-distance, wet riding!
* Thanks for sharing!
You’d think so, but we were all good!
A surprise Amelia celebrity video appearance! What a great surprise ending! Olé!
OLE OLE! You'll see more of her in the next episode
most underrated youtube channel
Hey thanks! Appreciate that
@@duzer what the hell. I m just watching the Ep.4 & got a comment from u..I m thrilled ..wow..gonna tell my Mom.. Love u Ryan..my inspiration.hope to meet u in person. Wow!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Glad you survived the climbing tour! Awesome episode of this journey. Loved it
Thanks!
Well done RVD!!
Thanks!
I enjoyed the interview with the woman about pie! Looking forward to her documentary. Thanks, Ryan. Aloha
Glad you enjoyed it, she's awesome!
$80 helmet, and $50 bike.. The man has is priorities in order... :)
I agree!
Pie transcends all ages--ultimate comfort food--high carb--high energy !
YES!
Oh oh, Ryan listen to this. This year's event marks the second Ragbrai that we talk about.
It also means that we have been connected over here since about three years ago. (Maybe longer!?)
Crazy how time flies.
This was fun watching ❤
WOW! Love how these videos have brought us together
Ok ok. We’re ready to go back now! Awesome memories!!!
I can't wait!!!
I really loved watching this video !!! I loved riding RAGBRAI for the 1st time this year !! I live in Davenport so I got to ride all the way home !
Davenport is a great city!!
Wow that is awesome Ryan 👌
It was so fun!

Something funny happened, that’s for sure…it just took off like it was mad at me and didn’t wanna come home ;)
I was guessing the high tension power lines caused the interference? I get shocked when I'm riding near them and touch my brakes.
I was so happy to see Ms Boone there with you!!!! Haven’t seen you guys together for some time 💯💯
We’re actually not together anymore, but we parted ways very lovingly and I’ll always be her #1 fan
@@duzer ❤️
Amelia is ALIVE!!!! Need to do more trail run videos with her!
We’re actually not together anymore
@@duzer some birds are never meant to be caged.
I'm eating leftover Thanksgiving pie, remembering this summers RAGBRAI pie, watching Duzer talk about pie. What a life.
Now you’ve made me hungry ;)
Heck yeah! I've climbed trees like that for a $20 model rocket. I would certainly scurry up there for my drone for sure. Keep on keeping on Ryan! You are so inspiring!
I’m glad that I’m not the only one ;)
Another 38 minutes of awesomeness and pure inspiration, loved every second😁Freezing fog here today so very different from Iowa😂I'm hoping to get out tomorrow, that's the beauty of being retired👍
It’s been cold and snowy here as well, nice to escape into a little Iowa sunshine for a bit
@@duzer That makes me feel better Ryan🙃
Awesome to see ya in my home state!! Hope to see ya next year, when my family moves back...cheers bru ;-))
I love your state!
Fantastic! This made me happy. Now I have to go find pie 🥧🚴♀
Yum!! Send me some :)
Awesome stuff man
Thanks!!
Luv those friends you invited.😂
Me too ;)
Such an amazing achievement.
Hahaha, Ryan climbin trees. Lift operator to the rescue!
Great episode!! Street Rats must ride RAGBRI!!!bike life !
Get the Street Rats out there!
Thx for another inspiring video. I have signed up for Ragbrai 51! Looking forward to hearing more about Team Duzor and the plans for this year.
Right on, you're gonna LOVE it!
Now that's a surprise ending.
Ta da
ooooohh daaamn it was so entertaining to watch this video.... awesome people..... love what @Kevdoes that's just beautiful.. As always Dan is always my favourite.... and boy did I also scream after seeing Ameelia
The Allstars came together for this one!
@@duzer Oooh yes they did. Hopefully one day I will make it for Ragbrai... Thanks for always inspiring people to enjoy themselves
I love this community! So glad to be part of team Duzer!
Team Duzer Africa loading@@ridewithdanusa
never miss an opportunity to dunk, whether it be belly flop or slip 'n slide!
You know it!
Your worst day on RAGBRAI is still better than your best day in the office.
So true!
Just got my tent, mattress, sleeping bag, and phone charger from Amazon!!! Ready for 2024 Team Duzer, hope you all like some good music on the bike!
We LOVE good music!
Game of Drones
hahaha, I love this!
Loving this! So much positivity, support and love. Maybe the world leaders should do this 🙃 Thanks Ryan!
I agree!! It would be good for everyone up high to get a taste of RAGBRAI magic
Kev sounds really cool. I grew up in Cedar Rapids and its kinda hard to come out the other side well unless you're passionate about doing well.
Man, you did not capture the steepness of that hill (down and up) going into Luther. What a beast! But so much fun 🎉
It’s hard to capture the pitch of hills with a GoPro :(
This was the two days that truly changed my life meeting you and Conor is something that I’ll never forget
Thanks for putting up with my bs lol
Our origin story!! So glad that we’re doing it again
Great ride!
It sure was!
What are the odds of someone with a lift on their truck coming to your rescue to save the drone? Still a lot of work to get to it. LOL
Seriously! I lucked out that he was there!
That tree climbing was crazy, August 25 I was trimming a tree and the extension ladder was on a dead branch and the branch broke and I fell fourteen feet, eight hours in emergency , a broken collarbone and four fractured vertebrae and a sixty thousand dollar bill, thank god I have insurance , please that drone is not worth even forty thousand dollars and the possibility of dying, just something to think about, a fan for six years, please look up Mira they are in Mexico 🇲🇽
Oh man, that sounds so scary! You’re right, not worth it. I’ll try and find John and Mira down the road somewhere
Man I miss Iowa and ragbrai
We'll be back there soon enough!
Yes! Kevin!🎉
He’s back!
Julie and her husband where the best hosts glad I got to experience that Iowa nice from them
They’re so cool!
Lets go!!!
ALL DAY LONG!
I am slightly surprised that other states haven't tried to emulate what Iowa so successfully does every year. I know it is a private undertaking, but it couldn't be done w/o the help of state and local govt. It does stimulate the economy and brings a positive image to the state.
I think other states have long bike rides kind of like this, but they don’t have the magic of ragbrai. The one is Colorado is called Ride the Rockies
A @kevdoes appearance...makes this video even better! Great tree-climbing! Wow.
Yes it does!
There should be a like for every view just for the fact we got to watch him climb a tree with NO safety harness. This is a perfect time for the release of this series considering its snowing outside now and i cant ride.
I’m actually very happy that I’m releasing this now…it gets me fired up for next year while it’s cold and snowy in Colorado
I assume that you added the tree climbing to your Strava 😜😜😜
Haha!!
Poor Mini 3 - I've gotta a Mini 4, glad you got it back.
It had one last wild ride!
Cool trip. Do many people in Iowa have Dutch heritage?
Hmmm, I dunno
Should start a “big pies for ragbrai” see who can make the biggest and best enjoying the episodes
oooh, I like that
Bro duzer was dedicated to get that drone😂😂
Envision me at 59-year-old grandfather of 10, with his hands on his waist looking up at you, climbing that pine tree, and saying “Duzer what are you doing to that poor pine tree?!” Glad you got the drone.
Haha!! I can picture it clearly. Hope you had a nice thanksgiving with your family
@@duzer I wish the same for you and your family as well.
Good days to make valid points j/s
Was this back on July, 11 2023? it is hard to tell, if it were actually 3 days ago, in November of 2023, it would be very cold.. LOL
It sure was
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍💯🇺🇸🇺🇸
Where does that climb rank? Looks like there was no time to look around.
I've been trying to see what tires Duzer is using, anyone know?
your the best tree climbing was great good recovery Keep motivating
I still have scars from the tree climbing ;)
Have you ever noticed that Connor looks like Taika Waititi
Oooh, he does
Ill take that ANY DAY you two
@@connorswegle1338 I bet you would 🤣
Does the sunflower seeds taste different 🧐🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣😂😆
he he, maybe so ;)
Bittersweet to see Amelia again.
I saw her yesterday, we're still friends.
@@duzer so there's still a chance
Where's Amelia Boone? Why are you flying the drone close to trees?
She shows up at the very end...but just a heads up, we're not together anymore. We parted lovingly a few months ago and I'll always be her #1 fan. *and I wasn't flying near a tree, the drone took off and I couldn't control it
@@duzer Can we get a break-up video like you did with Ali?
Once again, I am first 😊
@@jasper2958 Nah, I’m just basking in the glory of my accomplishment.
YES YOU ARE! I'm sending you a virtual victory high five!
