## Resource

This year, RAGBRAI is offering riders an extra challenge with the addition of an all-new loop route: the America 250 Double Loop. The America 250 Double Loop extends the Day 5 route to a 250‑kilometer ride (with a route just over 159 miles) in celebration of the 250th anniversary of our country. Several riders went out recently and rode the entire route, and are on the podcast today to share their experiences. Scott Olson, Scott Sumpter, and ride director Matt Phippen talk stats and highlights of their long day in the saddle.
