RAGBRAI will get underway in about 100 days. Planning is well underway in Keokuk to be the final stop for the seven-day bicycle ride across Iowa in late July.
Riders will leave Council Bluffs on July 21 and travel about 427 miles before arriving in Keokuk July 27. That final day, riders will spend a few hours traversing rural Lee County before ending up along the riverfront in Keokuk. Kira Kruszynski, a member of Keokuk's RAGBRAI Advisory Committee, said about 30-40 people are helping to plan, and there are plenty of opportunities for more to join in.
Kruszynski said Keokuk’s RAGBRAI theme is “Biggest Dam Dip on the Mississipp.”
