Ep. 88 The Bike Talk with Dave RAGBRAI Spectacular; 2023

In it's 50th year, RAGBRAI has grown from a few hundred cycling enthusiasts who joined a couple of columnists looking for stories from the small communities around Iowa to a massive cross-state seven-day bicycle tour with tens of thousands joining every year. We went along with our microphone this year to to find some stories from some who'd been going for decades and some first timers - we wanted to talk to some of those that feed the hungry cyclists and seek out some music - what we came up with is the 2023 Bike Talk with Dave RAGBRAI Spectacular! We hope you enjoy! For more information on RAGBRAI: www.ragbrai.comAnother great ride to challenge your bike skills is the Core4 Race in Iowa City, Iowa on August 19, 2023.
