  • 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!
