Could not have ordered better weather for the ride. We just had our final wrap meeting in West Union last night and felt everything went pretty smooth. Most heard comment was getting up the next morning and finding most tent areas clean like no one had even been there.
Hi Terry and Lori. A big THANK YOU for taking the time and putting in the effort to document your RAGBRAI ride. It was fun to watch. Great job and thank you for the smiles!!
Loved The videos Terry & Lori it was great to experience Ragbrai 2022 through all of them. I have done RAGBRAI several times and may have to do it one more time!
This was great! Thank you for thoughts. My wife and I registered for this upcoming Ragbrai L. It's our first one and we are pumped! Terry, like you I love do these adventurous challenges and there is nothing better than doing them with my wife. It's literally the best. Thanks again! And yes, Ryan and Amelia are awesome!
Hi Terry and Lori! I've done RAGBRAI 7 times in a row, and this past year was the first time that I missed. Your video made me smile with the many memories that I have. I missed this past year because in 2021 I convinced my then 27 year old daughter to experience this ride with me. It was an iffy thing as to how she would like the ride, and spending so much time with me. In the end, she loved it and my fondest thoughts of that ride where watching her loosen up and have a great time. While visiting friends in PHAT city, they asked her if she would do it again, and she said yes! Wow, you could have knocked me over with a spoon! We talked it over and she didn't want to do back to back years, and we agreed to ride together again for RAGBRAI L. I am SO looking forward to it again with her. We also stay with Pork Belly and I hope you choose to ride again this year. We would love to share a beer with ya! Rusty Pgh, PA
We have decided to do RAGBRAI again in 2023. We couldn't imagine missing the 50 year. We're so glad you're doing it with your daughter. That will be a special week for you. See you in 7 months!🚲🍻🚲
Hi! I watched your training and was super excited to see a final thoughts video. I live in MN too and found that I trust your opinion more than someone from another part of the country. Anyway thanks for a VERY informative recap! Super helpful.
I loved this video for the following reasons-I love bike riding, coming to Ragrai next year and interested to see what the charter experience was like especially with Pork Belly, I love dogs-your dog is adorable, I love Ryan Van Duzer videos and its why my wife and I are coming from Australia for 2023, and I'm a Pickleball addict 😊 Looking forward to watching your Ragbrai videos now. Any hot tips you learned that would be helpful to Newbies, i.e finding food-local vs Ragbrai vendors etc. Cheers!
Hi I’m in BC Canada. Ragbrai has been on my bucket list for some years now. You said “just get out there and do it.” Well I’m going to do Ragbrai 50! Wooooooooo so stoked. Now how do I talk you into doing Ragbrai 50? so I can meet you both? lol
I agree would love to do the 50th with you all. Go riders. Glad you enjoyed the ride and shared it with the world through your videos. ViP parking check. Surprised you would do pork belly again as it felt the camping was no fun. Glad you would do it again as I can see staying off site could be a chore as well. Beer did you say beer? Oh Brody, you silly pup, what were you doing? Ice cream check, pancakes check, pork chops check. Yay we missed David the rest of the ride since you missed him in town. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy. Once again and ty.
Hello. I enjoy watching your videos and I’m planning on going to RAGBRAI 2023. I live in Texas and plan on driving there and I noticed you parked at the finish line. Are there buses to take you to the start and trucks to take your bikes? I’m trying to plan out my logistics way ahead of time lol
hahahhaaa I was one of those who left at 5:50am every morning... we left early so we 1. would have more time in the little towns and 2. so we could set up camp, get showered, etc.. and then go do touristy stuff in town lol
LOL Dang you never had to rub her butt LOL Kidding Watched all , good stuff, I wish my partner would do that. But I didn't see any corn on the cob, LOL
@Terry Mackel excellent. When I got done reading the letter they said sold out. Bbb adventures said some people may have booked 2 or 3 times and some may open up shortly. Hard to say.

Thanks Terry & Lori, such great videos, a real good sense of what to expect at Ragbrai. Just do it !
As an 8-time RAGBRAIer who didn't want this year's ride to end, I've enjoyed watching your videos. I hope to see you back in the future!
Excellent review, you've encouraged me to make the commitment to RAGBRAI 2023. I will likely be solo from Florida.
You'll have a great time! Every day is a new adventure.
This was great! Thank you for thoughts. My wife and I registered for this upcoming Ragbrai L. It's our first one and we are pumped!

It was a lot easier then I thought it was going to be. We had a blast everyday. Loved every minute of it. Stay safe and keep on rolling!

Yes we had a charter (pork belly). We parked at the end and pork belly drove us to the beginning by bus.
hahahhaaa I was one of those who left at 5:50am every morning... we left early so we 1. would have more time in the little towns and 2. so we could set up camp, get showered, etc.. and then go do touristy stuff in town lol
It sounds like you guys had a great time are you planning to do it again?
We sure are! Arriving on Friday. We can't miss the 50th year. Getting excited!🚲🍺🎊🚲🍺
LOL Dang you never had to rub her butt LOL Kidding Watched all , good stuff, I wish my partner would do that. But I didn't see any corn on the cob, LOL
Did you bring your own sleeping bags and sleeping mat ??
Yes we did. Blow up mattress, sheets and blanket.
Did you get into porkbelly? They sold out in the first hour.
I'm pretty sure I did. I got to the payment section of the process.
@Terry Mackel excellent. When I got done reading the letter they said sold out. Bbb adventures said some people may have booked 2 or 3 times and some may open up shortly. Hard to say.
