  • The Backbone of RAGBRAI!

    This podcast is a wealth of information about all things cycling and especially all things RAGBRAI. These ladies leave no stone unturned when it comes to people, places, events, and even gear. They have excellent guests and we can’t wait to hear them tell us about biking in their part of the world and what they bring to the community. They continue to host a wonderful podcast that started to celebrate the world of life on 2 wheels and they do it well. Keep up the great work, ladies!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 423: RAGBRAI, Hydration, and the Endurance Mindset with Josh Sprague
Q: So what product would you suggest that you have that would maybe alleviate that issue?
Sprague recommends the Orange Mud Endurance Pack, which carries two liters of water and has a drinking hose for easier access while riding. He also advises practicing a consistent drinking routine, such as taking several sips every 15 minutes.
Episode 423: RAGBRAI, Hydration, and the Endurance Mindset with Josh Sprague
Q: What are your thoughts on nutrition and hydration?
Sprague emphasizes consistent calories and electrolytes, explaining that needs vary by person and should be tested during training. He shares his own intake targets and says balanced electrolytes help him avoid gastrointestinal problems.
Episode 419: Riding RAGBRAI Backwards on a Bike!
Q: What are the mechanics of your bike setup, and is it comfortable?
The bike is a BMX-style Specialized P20 Pro with an 11-speed internal hub; the saddle is replaced by a camera mount, and the rider's butt sits on the handlebars, which is not comfortable but essential for the method.
Episode 419: Riding RAGBRAI Backwards on a Bike!
Q: How do you train for Ragbrai backwards?
Training involves traveling to states like South Carolina, Utah, and Hawaii for three weeks at a time to build elevation and humidity tolerance since there's no stationary backwards bike and the goal is to simulate Ragbrai conditions.
Episode 419: Riding RAGBRAI Backwards on a Bike!
Q: Why do you ride backwards on Ragbrai?
I ride backwards because it started as a joke and then became my primary biking style; it's not about speed but about the experience and the way I interact with the crowd and route, even though people often question it at first.
