RAGBRAI may have been virtual this year but the RAGBRAI Roadshow brings the best parts of the ride to eight different places along the bike trails of Iowa this fall. Hear what the first one was like and what to expect from future dates on this episode of the JGB podcast.
How many RAGBRAIs have you ridden? 5? 10? 20? Coreen Frasier has completed 30! Listen up this week for her stories from the road, a shower hack, and more from three decades of cycling across Iowa.

This week on ParrotTalk, we've got cycling advice from none other than Grandpa RAGBRAI himself, John Karras, answering riders' questions about the upcoming SAGBRAI. Funny how some of these questions haven't changed in 40+ years! Got a question for ParrotTalk? Message us here or email justgobikepodcast@gmail.com.
Mark Wyatt hosts the show to talk about recovery from the Iowa Derecho. We need your support. Visit www.iowabicyclecoalition.org/derecho to help out.
It's ParrotTalk this week with a post-Derecho check in, and a Pigtails ride recap. We also have a RAGBRAI poem for you, "Barn," from Steve Rose, veteran RAGBRAI rider, and Professor Emerita of Simpson College.
We caught up with Scott Edwards, a Harvard professor on a Surly who's cycling across the country for his bucket list, and because black lives matter. Want to keep up with Professor Edwards' trip? Find him on Twitter @ScottVEdwards1
Kathy Murphy caught up with a few Virtual RAGBRAI riders to ask them, "literally how much fun did you have last week?" From Iowa's Largest Frying Pan, to an Old Grump, to a virtual friendship, these riders share how they made the best of RAGBRAI gone virtual. Want to hear more Murphology?

We all wish we were heading out to the Missouri River this weekend to start RAGBRAI XLVIII - but we're doing the next best thing - Virtual RAGBRAI! The RAGBRAI Crew is online this week to chat about everything we have in store for next week.
Renowned ultracyclist and race director Sarah Cooper joins host Brian Powers to talk about about how the pandemic has affected her both as a cyclist trying to stay motivated to ride and as a director trying to plan races.
Mark Wyatt has a monologue this week and talks about bike advocacy including Iowa Trail Funding, Bike Rides, and his trail ride on the Kewash Trail in Washington. This is a no-drop podcast. Enjoy.
