RAGBRAI’s 53rd ride is here — shorter but steeper, with 391 miles and 16,000 feet of climbing from Onawa to Dubuque. Kick off July 19th, end July 25th, with stops in historic towns, concerts, food, and even gravel options. Prep your bike, hydrate for Iowa’s heat, and soak in Lewis & Clark replicas, Civil War memorials, vintage railroads, and the Field of Dreams. Finish with a tire dip in the Mississippi — pure RAGBRAI grit, glory, and grit. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
