List of RAGBRAI overnight stops by year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eight "host communities" are selected each year by the RAGBRAI organizers; two of them are the beginning and end points, while the other six serve as overnight stops for the bicyclists. The distance between each host community is usually between 50 and 70 miles. At the beginning of the ride, riders traditionally dip the rear wheel of their bikes in either the Missouri River or the Big Sioux River (depending on the starting point of the ride), and at the end, the riders dip the front wheels in the Mississippi River.
