We all wish we were heading out to the Missouri River this weekend to start RAGBRAI XLVIII - but we're doing the next best thing - Virtual RAGBRAI! The RAGBRAI Crew is online this week to chat about everything we have in store for next week.

Renowned ultracyclist and race director Sarah Cooper joins host Brian Powers to talk about about how the pandemic has affected her both as a cyclist trying to stay motivated to ride and as a director trying to plan races.

Mark Wyatt has a monologue this week and talks about bike advocacy including Iowa Trail Funding, Bike Rides, and his trail ride on the Kewash Trail in Washington. This is a no-drop podcast. Enjoy.

Andrea's back to answer your questions about cycling... and everything else! This week she's answering Mark's question - what do you do during the week of RAGBRAI? Tune in and find out!

Kyle Munson chats with RAGBRAI's Trumpet Chick, Alicia Rau! Tune in to hear how she's playing on amidst the pandemic, and some fun tales of trumpeting on RAGBRAI.

Well, it happened. RAGBRAI got postponed until 2021. Mark, Dieter, and Anne chat about making the tough call. "If we put any one of these communities under duress just because we wanted to have RAGBRAI at all costs, it would have been exactly the wrong thing to do." Be well, friends!
