WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED AS WE LEARN MORE. AND WE NOW KNOW THE ROUTE FOR RAGBRAI II 51 THIS JULY. BICYCLISTS WILL TRAVEL THROUGH SOUTHERN IOWA KCCI SARAH PEREIRA WAS THERE FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT. PEPPER, WHAT WILL THE RIDE LOOK LIKE? WELL, KAYLA, I HOPE YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON YOUR HILL TRAINING BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE THE HILLIEST ROUTE. RAGBRAI HAS EVER SEEN. NOW WE’RE GOING TO BE GOING DAY ONE, STARTING IN GLENWOOD, AND THEN FROM THERE RIDING ON TO RED OAK, THEN ATLANTIC, THEN THE STEEPEST RIDE OF THE ROUTE IS GOING TO BE CLIMBING MORE THAN 4000FT ON THE WAY TO WINTERSET, THEN GOING ON TO KNOXVILLE, OTTUMWA AND FOR THE FINAL OR EXCUSE ME, FOR THE LONGEST PORTION OF THE ROUTE, 82 MILES FROM OTTUMWA, MOUNT PLEASANT. THEN THE FINAL STRETCH TAKES CYCLISTS TO BURLINGTON. NOW THAT’S A GRAND TOTAL OF 434 MILES, ONE OF THE SHORTER ROUTES IN RAGBRAI HISTORY. BUT THERE IS MORE THAN 18,000FT OF ELEVATION. THEY’LL BE CLIMBING. THE RIDE DIRECTOR SAYS THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED ON A ROUTE THROUGH SOUTHERN IOWA, BUT THE OTHER BENEFIT OF THIS REGION VIEW OF OUR STATE’S RURAL BEAUTY. I LOVE SMALL TOWN IOWA, AND WE’LL GO TO SMALL TOWN IOWA AS MUCH AS WE CAN. WE GOT, YOU KNOW, THROW THEM SOME LOVE BECAUSE A LOT OF THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE DYING OUT. WE WANT TO KEEP THEM GROWING AND STRONG. RIDERS LOVE SMALL TOWNS BECAUSE THEY JUST THEY DO. THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH FOR OUR RIDERS AND THE RIDERS KNOW THIS. SO IT IS VERY RURAL DOWN THERE, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF PRETTY AMAZING COMMUNITIES THAT ARE READY TO SIGN UP AND SUPPORT THIS RIDE. SO LIKE I SAID, THE RIDERS ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME CHALLENGES SOME DAYS, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD, GOOD RIDE FOR FOR THEM. AND IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE SOME OF THESE CITIES HAVE SEEN RAGBRAI ROLL THROUGH GLENWOOD AND OTTUMWA, LAST
