World's Largest & Longest Cycling Event! ... as a FIRST TIMER! - 49 Years of RAGBRAI - PART 1

[@1a2b3c4.]

The best video of RAGBAI on KZbin. Excellent. There's one thing, no one mentions how someone gets back to the starting point if that's where you left your vehicle. The most important thing. Getting back with your bike and camping gear.

[@DBTRVL]

I didn’t have the need to do that, but I believe they have a shuttle that can be signed up for beforehand that will take you back to the start.

[@electricheartpony]

There's busses. Kara and Nate took one on their go.

[@ztopduckh1]

That's my buddy at 7:30 fixing the hydrant. Great video! looking forward to 2023.

[@jdb2457]

Great video! Nice editing! Looking forward to riding 2023!

[@atsuhiroyorozuya526]

I too used to live in Iowa City. I am a Hawkeye. What I really miss in Iowa is that I did not have guts to join the ride. Now I am in my home country and I really miss it!

[@Gefaehrte]

Thank you this. I am glad to know that Ragbrai is far too crowded for me.

[@cait9699]

Great Video, excited for part two!

[@TylerandKari]

We did that water slide! Great drone footage of it! Like the video. Was our first year and what an adventure.

[@ridetillidie8090]

What a great surprise your video was! If I get my timing right, I'll be there for 2023's 50th ride, coming in from CA on my way to NYC on my "Ride Till I Die!" around-the-world trip. This is also my first attempt at traveling by bicycle, all in memory of my lovely wife who I lost in 2021. Loved your commentary, the drone shots (taking a Mavic Mini 2 with me) and info! I'll be packing every night, not using travel services, of course. Everything I need is on the bike! Hope to see you there! Stay safe!

[@BeeMillah25]

Great video! My wife and I just registered for our first Ragbrai. Excited for Ragbrai L! As far as the Strava app goes, you can turn the automatic pause function off. I recently changed it for my runs. Thanks for the content!

[@DBTRVL]

Thank you! I just registered for L as well! I’ve finally gotten to a place in my travels where I can work on the Part 2 video for 2022. Hope to have it done soon!

[@BeeMillah25]

@@DBTRVL Looking forward to it!

[@2pointmandolin]

I was a first timer too! Looking forward to part 2.

[@1a2b3c4.]

How does one get back to starting point if that's where you left your vehicle with bike and camping gear???

[@RonMagaw]

Well done...thanks

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

Great info thanks

[@norwegian_travellers9166]

When is part 2 coming? 😊

[@DBTRVL]

Probably mid May 😔. I’m hiking in Nepal at the moment and won’t be back until early May. I’ve just been prioritizing enjoying my travels rather than rushing to edit videos.

[@Nothing12521]

I live in Altoona hoping to be a part of the ride next year

[@kidgiven]

Great video. You put a lot of effort into this. Good work. I didn’t see what you did with your truck. Did you leave it at the beginning or did someone else drive it back???

[@DBTRVL]

Thank you! I was dropped off and picked up by family. I didn’t drive.

[@1a2b3c4.]

SUBSCRIBED. GREAT VIDEO.

[@rabmeem67]

Did you post your part 2 video?

[@Kevins93cobra]

The 2023 event just finished and I saw it mentioned in the news. What happened to part 2 of this video?

[@fredpalumbo2280]

We love every picture……..Mary Anne

[@mitcho399]

Great video but when will you post video #2 I was already to watch it and can not find it 😞

[@DBTRVL]

I have not been able to edit and release it yet because I am currently walking the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain. Unfortunately, it may not be done until Nov. I’m sorry it’s taking so long, but I want to do it right and trying to edit between long day hikes and dorm life at night don’t make it possible currently.

[@SesarEscobar]

There is no part 2??

[@rosemarybroshar2723]

Great video

[@Adam.Brooks]

Part 1 was excellent! When will the 2nd part of your Ragbrai trip be released?

[@DBTRVL]

Thank you! I am hoping to get it done in October or early November. I’m currently walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain and it’s not possible to edit between hiking all day and dorm life at night.

[@8b8b8b8]

Looking for part 2 part 1 was excellent!

[@RonWrightwrites]

@@DBTRVL now? is now a good time for part 2? I'm starting my training for RAGBRAI Large.

[@Chicago_Bikepacker]

Nice video

[@DBTRVL]

Thank you!

[@ckcoffey]

Where is part 2? :(

[@DBTRVL]

Sorry for the delay. I just got back from an extended trip. I’m working on it now. Shouldn’t be too much longer.

[@rkbllc]

I fondly remember 5 and 10. 13...not so much....the year it rained and rained.

[@simply_the_dev7588]

I was just wondering about people who don't register for the ride. It seems easy to just jump right in and act like you paid. How do they prevent that? If it's wristbands that can just be printed out like here in Austin with the SXSW music festival where there were a lot of fake wristbands.

[@DBTRVL]

They have plastic wristbands and a bike band your registration number on them. They also give you a RAGBRAI plastic license plate to put on the bike. People do just ride as pirates, but the bands give you access to ragbrai campgrounds, Sag Wagon (pickup on the route if you can’t complete the daily ride), and other conveniences throughout the week.

[@hoosiercards83]

where is part 2?

[@LVang152]

I wanna try this ride

[@DBTRVL]

Next year marks 50 years. You should do it….

[@marcusohlsson3130]

Looks exciting but as cheapskate those prices are quite hefty, 9$ for a cheese and ham sandwich!

[@lightdark00]

There's no part two yet?

[@DBTRVL]

Not yet. I have addressed it in other replies. Short version: I’m walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain currently. I want to make it the best I can so I’m waiting until I the time again.

[@lightdark00]

@@DBTRVL A pinned top comment usually works well for such an explanation.

[@harrylen1688]

Im not frugal @ all ....but 2 slices of bread grill cheese & a slice bacon $9 in compare the nice size Porkshop $ 6 Anyway :)
