It seems that several of us who ride Rivs, also head to Iowa for RAGBRAI in July. Maybe it is a good idea to start a new thread...questions and answers for those who might consider the ride on their Riv's, whether for the whole week, or maybe the half week option. Or we can continue on this

I've done RAGBRAI twice, both times with Brancel Charter -- and was very happy with their services -- and yes, the charter-specific shower trucks are the bees knees! Julian Westerhout Bloomington, IL On Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 3:15:32 PM UTC-6 Rusty Click wrote: > Jason, I have used

Hi Jason I did it several years ago and used Pork Belly. I paid for the tent rental and setup service (split with another person), which was awesome, and the shower trucks were REALLY nice to have at the end of the day. Would recommend and use them again. Mike in ATX On Wednesday, November 6

I found this thread tonight regarding RAGBRAI and figured using this one is better than starting a new one. I'm considering signing up and training for 2025. Hoping to work out the time off work to do the whole week. Anyone have suggestions for charters they have used ? It would be awesome
