Ever wonder what really goes into maintaining a bicycle for those long adventurous rides? Strap in as we take you along for an adrenaline-filled ride with Adam, as he navigates through bike issues, road construction, and an entertaining trip to the bike shop. You'll hear firsthand about the trials of a neglected rear tire, a troublesome rear hub, and a completely toast bottom bracket, not to mention the hilarious commentary on the Michigan State game and pre-diagnoses.
Saddle up with Michael, Katie, and Adam as they recount their captivating journey during the Ragbrai 50 ride. Experience the early morning calm giving way to an endless stream of cyclists and the town transforming into a clean ghost town, all through their eyes. We'll also discuss the heartwarming community spirit, as we talk about donations made from the ride, benefiting local schools and the American Legion.
To wrap things up, Katie will give you an insider's view of the organizing committee for Ragbrai, complete with the triumphs of a successful table auction and reflections since 2011. We'll salute the volunteers and riders that made it all possible, emphasize the importance of sun protection in cycling, and take a trip down memory lane discussing the legacy of Jimmy Buffett. So, whether you're a seasoned cyclist or merely a road trip enthusiast, you're in for a memorable ride.
