RAGBRAI 2019 is Just Around the Corner

It’s mid-July and that means that RAGBRAI 2019 is just around the corner. This year the annual biking event will be traversing the southern half of Iowa on the way to the City of Keokuk. Once again I will be driving a support vehicle for team Buff Riders as they punish themselves biking through the hilly Iowa terrain.

As it was last year, I fully expect RAGBRAI 2019 to provide a treasure trove of potential content for the Rural Resurrection blog. Hopefully, I’ll have time to post to social media channels along the way.

However, this year I plan to do some reconnaissance on the overnight towns and the midway point meeting towns before the event. I’ll be on the lookout for good stories to check out first-hand. If you know of any unique aspects or stories about the following communities, let me know.

Meeting Towns

• Avoca
• Stuart
• Norwalk
• Chariton
• Bloomfield
• Salem
• Donnellseon

Overnight Towns
