Donkey Shows, Slip N Slides, and Cherry Pie-RAGBRAI DAY TWO-2022

[@arboone11]

Just wanted to let everyone know you don’t have to see my feet in this video. Just my teeth 😂

Hahahaha!!!

Hey Ryan maybe you didn‘t know but if you are in a place with a lot of mosquitos you just need to burn it up those „ Donkey Apples „ and they gonna dissapear in a second, the Tip give me a guy in Perú and is amazing. Nice to see a Video from you again, Ride on

[@duzer]

Oh that’s very cool! Thanks for the info

[@stevederr4927]

Ryan, I didn’t notice you guys wearing the RAGBRAI wrist bands, do you register with RAGBRAI (limited # of weeklong registered riders) or do you just go (pirate)? And based on your experience over the years do you recommend registering or not. I rode last year and used the Pork Belly Ventures charter service (great experience).

[@duzer]

We jumped in so late that there was no way to register. I've actually only officially registered 2 times out of my 5 RAGBRAIs :)

[@Jables77]

Just wanted to say, you and Amelia seem like the perfect match. I’m glad you two found each other.

[@duzer]

Me too! She’s amazing

[@Bike-Junkie]

Ya…. having a partner of similar characters and way of life is God bless =)

[@heathervita4320]

This is one of my fav videos you’ve ever done and I’ve seen a lot of them. The stories that were shared had me in tears. I am so happy that you have the tools and the talent to spread these stories and people with all of us.

[@duzer]

Thank you so much! I truly love capturing these stories and sharing them with the world.

[@barryschnoor7300]

I'm so impressed with the Dream Team. I heard the mentors talking with the group during the last night in West Union. Without hesitation, these mentors declared their love for the kids. Tears in my eyes just hearing that.

[@duzer]

Oh wow! I bet that was a powerful moment. They do amazing work

[@dreamteamdesmoines]

What a night that was. And you must have also endured our early morning wakeup call the next morning. 😂

All of this is Absolutely Fabulous! Positive healing vibration. The last drone shot where you say “ I hope nobody snores” is heartwarmingly primal. A tribal camp of fabric nomadic shelters. Gimme that Old Time Religion. Serious magic. Serious healing. Hat’s Off. ❤️

Hey thanks for featuring the USDA NRCS and the good work they do. Of course I'm biased being a retired soil scientist with them. NRCS has always been one of those agencies you never hear much about, but they do some really cool work. Enjoy RAGBRAI!

Shout out for the interview with Dan @ USDA! I am a farmer…. Good stuff!!

[@duzer]

I learned so much from him!!

[@SteelR4t]

Is this event not just the best promotion for cycling, the US and Iowa? Endless roads of nothing but people having a great time riding bikes. Thanks Ryan, for using your unique energy to share this fantastic event with the world! I was thinking that there needs to be something like that on this side of the pond. Trouble is "Bike Ride Across UK" would be "BRAUK".. which sounds like someone being sick.

[@e-BikeLife]

Well this is a first! Making the first comment, I mean. I'm so, so proud. 1:22 Ryan you have been using that same razor for years man! 21:12 No Headwinds translated means Nirvana.

You did it!! 😂

I’ve only been following you just over a week, but after watching just a few of your videos and seeing how good of a soul you have I can say with complete conviction you and Amelia look perfect for each other! Godspeed, brother! 😎 🙏🏻🚴💪🏻

[@duzer]

Welcome to my channel!! and thank you for the kind words. Life is good

[@Jacksirrom]

OMG that really is one of the best pieces of playground equipment I've ever seen! My city is currently in the process of replacing older playgrounds at schools and parks, and they're all pretty disappointingly sterile and safe! But THAT thing looks like it could impart some life lessons (lol) and a lot of fun!

[@duzer]

Ha!! Lots of painful life lessons for sure 😂😂

[@joycebricker3814]

I haven’t seen that bell shaped play ground equipment in 50 years. You could get hurt on them so they took them and the metal slides out.

[@habershamjim]

That's great you interviewed 2 young ladies from The Dream Team. The state of Georgia has a Dream and they take them on BRAG (Bicycle Ride Across Georgia).

[@duzer]

Very cool! I love to hear that there’s groups getting kids on bikes

[@waylonlewis1752]

I met some of these same people on different days that week. Anyway, it was a troubling video this week..... this is the one where i found out you had never had Casey's breakfast pizza before! Just kidding, thanks for another great RAGBRAI video.

[@duzer]

hahaha, I can't believe that I hadn't had it before!!

Right On Brother 😎. Amelia Is One Of The Coolest Ladies On Wheels! ✌️❤️🙏

[@ardecker1]

Thanks for these great tales of Ragbrai. I finished my 14th this year and as always….it ends with can’t wait until next year. Your storytelling is the best I’ve seen to show others the variety and great feels all week long. Also a new subscriber…have been following Amelia for years so she gets some cred for the connect! Last, love Amelia’s comment in either this or the previous…a great message for cyclists…we can be so much more inviting and open, cycling is for all…where I am it’s takes some boldness to jump in as it seems u have to be kitted out, ride a $1000+ bike, and talk the lingo and to ride…ragbrai has been a great training ground for me to learn to be an ambassador to others. Look forward to connecting in person next year!

[@duzer]

Welcome to my channel and hope to see you next year!

[@Eric_Tennant]

I'm about to release a new bike tour video. Took me forever to start editing it. Takes me longer to edit then to do the ride. Do you have this same problem or have you got faster at editing?

180 lbs lost?! I teared up that is really awesome!

[@dudeonbike800]

The guy pumping up his tire behind the corn necklace woman was hilariously inappropriate! 🤣😛 BTW, notice how he and his friend were firmly holding onto the wheel while he pumped up the tire? DON'T DO THAT! You want to let the wheel move freely while using a hand pump. Otherwise, if you hold the wheel firmly, you're actually totally torquing back & forth on the valve stem. This is a great way to tear your valve stem and get a leak, or worse, break it off. Nothing like having to do a flat fix right after a flat fix!

[@GordoGambler]

These are 100% STUPID anyway. Get a mini FLOOR pump. It takes 120 strokes to fill my 700 x 35 mm tires.

[@leschortos9196]

A whammy is anything crazy and unexpected, maybe a lightning strike…or falling into a sinkhole…or getting chased by Murder Hornets 😂

[@ktmkai]

So, in the uk they’re contemplating putting more restrictions on cyclist. They’re thinking about putting licence plates on bikes and making speed laws. As well as mandatory insurance…. So thank you Ryan! thank you for showing me that no matter what country I will end up in. I’ll be free and able to ride my bike wherever, however I want!

Ryan, huge fan and watched most of your trips. just out of hospital after mountain biking crash but will see you next year in Iowa. I wish you and Emilia the best; i know she is a highly accomplished athlete and very easy on the eyes, just make sure anyone who shares your life is doing it for the right reasons and returns that love. not a hater at all, just some signs, like the lackluster kisses, and other non-verbal signals that you should be careful…you are definitely all in, i hope she is as well. hope i am not offending either one of you and just watching from sidelines certainly doesn’t qualify me as love expert in your situation, but i have been in your shoes a few times. in the end, only the two of you actually know. best.
