Summary
RAGBRAI Ride Director Matt Phippen and BikeIowa’s Scott Sumpter sat down to do a mega deep dive into what's behind the RAGBRAI wristband, breaking down the costs of what it takes to make RAGBRAI happen, and what it takes to get riders safely across the state each year. They also talk in detail about the value associated with your registration. We know the basics that registration covers like the State Patrol Troopers at intersections, and the Care Ambulance medical teams on route but there is so much more! You can find even more details in the BikeIowa article: https://www.bikeiowa.com/Feature/2107/behind-the-wristband-the-true-cost-of-ragbrai RAGBRAI: www.ragbrai.com Just Go Bike: https://ragbrai.com/justgobike/ Watch, or listen on our Just Go Bike YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@JustGoBikePodcast Have a topic for a future episode?
