At the age of 75, this was my first RAGBRAI. As I rode through towns, I shouted Hello and Thank You to the people who were waving and cheering us on. Three times during the week, people riding past me said "You sound like Ryan Van Duzer". I took that as a great compliment.

I grew up and still live in Iowa. I was the little kid waving at all the cyclists biking through my town. This was my first ragbrai at 26 and having just started cycling last fall I thought I needed to wait until 2024’s so I could get in some more training in. But this being the 50th I went for it and was very relieved to find out it wasn’t as difficult a task as I thought it was going to be. My longest ride before ragbrai was 50 miles. But was able to knock out my first century on that optional karras loop. You have all day to do the ride take as many breaks as you need. It was a spectacular week :)

I tried so hard to find you all 8 days. Never could find you. It was my first RAGBRAI. I saw BBB adventures. I had 3 goals on my first RAGBRAI. 1. Meet Ryan Van Duzer. 2. Do not SAG. 3. Do not walk a single hill. I only succeed in one, the do not walk a hill. I made it all but 40 miles on day 4. My body just would not let me do it. I was not eating enough and I just had to listen to my body. I hope to meet you next year at RAGBRAI 51!

I've been watching you since 2016 and always hoped to run into you on RAGBRAI some year. I see you talked to a lot of 600x riders; there's no way i'd bring my 600x on RAGBRAI! I didn't see your instagram post about the pink shirts until it was too late, but i wore my "fueled by Frijoles" shirt, lol. Thanks for the video! Can't wait for next Sunday to see the next one.

Hi Ryan I may live in the UK but I love RAGBRAI as its probably the most positive thing I view about the US. We only seem to get negative stories over here that involve politics, race issues & murders but what we get here is people without any prejudices having fun together and that's the real world we live in. The young lady that is fighting to get more people on bikes is amazing. Over here we have the same problem in getting bigger size bike clothing. Ok if your racing you do need tighter clothing but how many of us race ! I have often felt that cycle racing teams are missing a trick in not selling their racing kits in looser fits as they would sell far more to those of us of a bigger size. Unless I win some money I doubt whether I will ever get to ride RAGBRAI so I will just enjoy watching you & others riding it. Given how we follow America I am surprised we don't have one here. Hop we are going to see your mum. Best wishes. Ted

A little confession: I like my crowds small, if at all, so, when RAGBRAI time rolls around, I have a hard time looking at the videos because it is all about the people and that is a hard one for me. In the end though I find my self laughing and enjoying the whole thing. A little special for me. Saludos y abrazos 🙂

The joy and energy you bring to riding are contagious, and you inspire so many people. It is wonderful to see how enthusiastic you are about riding. It would be an incredible experience to go to the Ragbrai with your pals.

Great video. Looks like a really nice event. I’m also a bigger rider, so really appreciated your interview with Marley. One of the reasons I ended up on a Cannondale gravel bike is that they make weight limit info easy to find.

Great video. Inspiring. I was there in 2000. We had pork chop man there then too. Do it if you get the chance. A great time.
