Episode 258: RAGBRAI Director Matt Phippen Recaps the Route Inspection Ride

RAGBRAI director Matt Phippen is on this episode to provide a recap of the 2023 RAGBRAI Route Inspection Ride. A small team of cyclists joined Matt in early June to pedal the same route that riders will ride during RAGBRAI. Matt talks with Murph about road conditions, how he is preparing the towns and also addresses a few hot topics like the mandatory 2 miles of gravel, and the status of the Guiness World Record attempt. Matt’s early advice: train for the hills, plan to get up early each day this year, and stay stocked up on water and nutrition as you ride across Iowa! www.ragbrai.com www.murphologypodcast.com VIP Experience packages for RAGBRAI L concerts are available if you want to upgrade your concert experience! https://ragbrai.com/concertseries/
