Day 7: Saturday, July 26, Oelwein to Guttenberg
- Miles: 61.6.
- Feet of climb: 2,340.
- Theme: Tire Dip and RAGBRAI Jersey Day.
- Pass-through towns: Aurora, Stanley, Lamont, Dundee, Garber.
- Meeting town: Edgewood.
Highlights: Riders will get scenic views of the Mississippi River on portions of the final cruise into Guttenberg. But they will have to work for them. The final day has 2,340 feet of climb, almost one-fourth of the roughly 10,000 for the entire week.
RAGBRAI ended in Guttenberg in 1980, 1987, 1996, 2005 and 2014. When you line up for the Mississippi River tire dip, remember that the locals pronounce the name with a short u, as in “gut,” as opposed to the “goot” of the similarly named German city.
