    Going from 100+ degree heat all week to rain on the first day of RAGBRAI was nice for me, but I'm not so sure that everyone else enjoyed it. Our team is together and it's time to ride across IOWA!

      I see you where smart and didn’t ride through the thunder storm part of the day. 😸
      I think the guy in the kilt did the reverse ride from the Mississippi to the start... if that’s the same person I am thinking of? Good times.

    I just discovered your channel last night, and, since then, I've watched so many videos that I even lost count. Anyway, I'm Brazilian and spent my high school years in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I loved riding in Iowa's plains and always wanted to have the opportunity to go to RAGBRAI. Well, I'm back in Brazil since 2004, but, one thing is certain, your content about RAGBRAI just made me even more anxious to go to the next year's edition. Thanks for your amazing content... You're truly inspiring. And... Whenever you come to South America, be sure you'll have a place to stay in and a partner to show you Brazil's natural wonders. Keep it up, buddy. Congrats!

You inspire me to step up my RAGBRAI video game; I was planning on switching up my format for this year's video (not edited yet).

    7:41 This guy was my favorite DJ growing up in the SF Bay Area. He went by the name Big Rick Stewart. He had kind of a funny and relatable persona on the air. He always seemed like a great guy to hang out with. I know he was really good friends with Les Claypool of Primus. Good to know he's still going strong and getting healthier.

      Ryan, I'm pretty interested in this as well. My sense is that you would rather talk about the experience of cycling rather than the technical stuff, but suspect a lot of people are interested in how to do battery management for an ebike on a multiple day bicycle tour.
