• RAGBRAI LIV
  • July 24 to 31, 2027
  • 25 spots

Ride across Iowa with us.

RAGBRAI is a week on a bike across an entire state, and it is a lot to figure out by yourself. So don't. Come with us. We'll walk you through all of it, and you'll have a crew to camp with every night.

How it works

River to river. Here's the whole thing.

Seven stops between "I'm thinking about it" and "I did it." Tap a pin.

Stop 1 of 7

Say yes.

$100 holds one of 25 spots. Tell us your shirt size and a little about how you plan to ride. That's the whole first step.

"But I don't own a bike."

You might not need one. Litespeed is our bike partner for the ride, and they're bringing a small number of loaner bikes for our crew. If you've always wanted to try one, or you don't have a bike that can cross a state, ask us how.

There are only a few, so a loaner isn't part of every spot. Reach out and we'll talk it through.

Ask us about a loaner

What you get

You pedal. We'll handle the "wait, how does this work?" part.

  • We walk you through all of it

    Registering, packing, getting there, how a day on the route actually goes. Ask us anything, as many times as you need to.

  • A home base every night

    Our crew camps together in the RAGBRAI main campgrounds. If we land a host yard or a church lawn along the way, you'll be the first to know.

  • Shared camp gear

    A charging station and cold coolers waiting at camp, with more on the way.

  • One big dinner together

    One night during the week the whole crew sits down at the same table. It's on us.

  • The crew t-shirt

    So we can find each other in a very large crowd of people wearing spandex.

  • A goodie bag for signing up

    Litespeed is in on it, along with a few friends we can't name yet. Consider it a bonus.

No surprises

What's still on you

We'd rather tell you now than have you find out in a field in Iowa.

  • Your RAGBRAI registration

    Bought straight from RAGBRAI. Their luggage shuttle comes with it, so your bags get moved town to town.

  • Showers

    They're set up in the overnight towns and usually run around $10 each.

  • Your bed and your food

    Your tent, your sleeping setup, and whatever you eat along the way. Save room for pie.

  • Getting to Iowa and back

    Your travel is yours to book. We'll point you in the right direction.

The goodie bag

Say yes. We'll pack the bag.

Every rider gets a bag supplied by Matador, and we're filling it with gear that earns its spot on a week-long ride across Iowa.

The rest of the lineup is still a secret. Keep checking back. We'll reveal each brand as it's locked in.

Where you sleep

Not a tent person? That's fine.

Camp is where everyone meets up, charges up, and tells the story of that one hill. Where you actually sleep is up to you.

  • A RAGBRAI main campground filled with hundreds of colorful tents next to the luggage trucks The full experience

    Tent

    Pitch it next to ours. This is the full experience, and the shortest walk to the coolers.

  • An RV driving down a tree lined road at sunset Bring the rig

    Campervan or RV

    Bring it. RAGBRAI has its own vehicle pass and parking areas, so you may not be parked right beside the tents. We'll help you sort that out.

  • A made up hotel bed with warm lamps on either side No judgment

    Hotel

    A real bed and your own shower. Rooms in the overnight towns go fast, so book early. Camp is still your hangout.

Questions

The stuff you're about to email us.

Yes. That's the beauty of RAGBRAI. It's not a race. Nobody is timing you, and nobody cares when you roll into town. It's a week of riding, stopping, eating, laughing, and riding a little more. We'll be there cheering you on, and having a really good time right alongside you.

Yes. Ride two days or all seven. The price is the same either way, because the shirt, the goodie bag, the dinner, your spot at camp, and all our help come with you no matter how many days you pedal. We'll help you sort out the right RAGBRAI registration for the days you're riding.

No. You register directly with RAGBRAI and pay them. We'll walk you through it so you know exactly what to pick.

First, you don't need a fancy one. People ride RAGBRAI on every kind of bike you can imagine. Second, Litespeed is our bike partner, and they're bringing a small number of loaner bikes for our crew. There are only a few, so a loaner isn't part of every spot. If you're interested, tell us on the signup form and we'll follow up with you.

The RAGBRAI luggage shuttle comes with your registration. It moves your bags from town to town while you ride. We use it too.

They're set up in the overnight towns and usually run about $10 each. Those are on you.

Yes to both. Camp is the hangout either way. Vans and RVs need a RAGBRAI vehicle pass and park in their own area. Hotels in the overnight towns go fast, so book early.

We're coordinating bike transport with a company from start to finish. We'll share the price as soon as it's locked in.

The $100 deposit isn't refundable. Everything else is refundable until June 24, 2027. After that, you can hand your spot to another rider.

Only if you're up for it. We're filming the week for a video, so there will be cameras around. If you'd rather stay out of it, tell us on the signup form and we'll keep you out of the shots. It doesn't change anything about your spot.
