RAGBRAI 2021: What to know about Day 3 of the ride across Iowa


Route: Fort Dodge to Iowa Falls 
Meeting town: Webster City
Miles: 55.5 (70.2 with the optional gravel loop)
Elevation gain: 1,028 (1,376 with the gravel loop)
Highlights: Today RAGBRAI offers its first nearly full-length gravel day. For several years, it has provided the change to ride a brief segment on gravel, but this year s route extends the 55.5-mile main route ride to 70.5 miles, about 50 of it on Iowa s network of unpaved county farm roads. It s a recognition of the growing popularity of gravel riding and a natural innovation for first-time Ride Director Dieter Drake, a veteran racer and organizer of rides on gravel.
The destination town is another highlight. Iowa Falls, The Scenic CIty, is going all out to impress the riders with its amenities and picturesque, bluff-lined stretch of the Iowa River. There will even be riverboat cruises for riders on the Scenic City Empress, brought out of drydock and restored to operation in time for the ride. ....

With about half of Iowa s, and the country s, population vaccinated against COVID-19, the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa next month will look and feel much like those held over the 47 years before the cancellation of the 2020 ride, organizers say. 
RAGBRAI officials, who announced in December that the ride would return July 25-31, initially planned to require masks and to impose safe social distance requirements in vendor lines and at off-bike events. They also said they might consider staggered starts for riders, if warranted, to cut down on crowding; COVID-19 testing or proof of vaccination; and health screenings. ....
