RAGBRAI director Matt Phippen is on this episode to provide a recap of the 2023 RAGBRAI Route Inspection Ride. A small team of cyclists joined Matt in early June to pedal the same route that riders will ride during RAGBRAI. Matt talks with Murph about road conditions, how he is preparing the towns and also addresses a few hot topics like the mandatory 2 miles of gravel, and the status of the Guiness World Record attempt. Matt’s early advice: train for the hills, plan to get up early each day this year, and stay stocked up on water and nutrition as you ride across Iowa!

Episode 275: An Update from RAGBRAI Ride Director Matt Phippen

On this episode, AP digs deep into history and finds an article to read to us written back in 1974 by Clarence Pickard. Pickard, from Indianola, rode the first RAGBRAI on a 10-speed women’s Schwinn bicycle. He quickly became RAGBRAI famous for taking a wrong turn that first year and ending up riding his bike on Interstate 80, and for his bike riding attire: a pith helmet, long-sleeved shirt, long trousers and tennis shoes. After completing the very first RAGBRAI, he was invited to write an article for the Des Moines Register which he titled Pickard’s Bike Riding Advice.
His bike was restored by Charlie Harper of Harper’s Cycle & Fitness in Muscatine and is now on display at the Warren County Historical Society Museum.

Have you been lucky enough to meet Steve Lawyer and Bebe the Parrot on RAGBRAI? Bebe is a white winged parrot who for the last several years hangs out on Steve’s shoulder while Steve pedals them across Iowa each July, stopping frequently for selfies with riders and time to stretch Bebe's wings. Steve is on the podcast to talk about all things related to Bebe and biking, and what it is like to have a social bird who loves people and wants to go wherever Steve goes.  Bebe even speaks up (or is it squawks up?) a few times during the interview, probably to tell us what it is like to be RAGBRAI famous!

Episode 293: Bebe the Parrot Loves RAGBRAI!

Will Walker completed his first RAGBRAI in 2023 in a different way than any other cyclist who rode their bicycle across Iowa. Will rode the whole route backwards! And by backwards, we mean he positioned himself so that his bike moved forward but his body was facing backwards. He sat on the handlebars and pedaled this way all 500+ miles!!  Many years ago, biking backwards started as a kind of a joke or challenge with his friends and quickly became a way of cycling that is now Will’s normal. All of his rides are pedaled backwards so when he heard about a 7 day ride across Iowa, he didn’t even know what RAGBRAI was but registered immediately with the intention to do all of it backwards. Will, who lives in Alaska, packed his bike and came to Iowa for the first time last July. He found out that the state is definitely not flat and he also found out what Iowa Nice means. With so many supportive and friendly people, RAGBRAI turned out to be an awesome experience for him. He will be back to ride again this year and will be launching Against the Odds Cycling, a line of Backwards Biker merchandise with the intention to give back to others.

Episode 297: RAGBRAI SAG Drivers Joe and Coz

On March 24, 2024 Matt Bernhard passed away. Known as Mr. Pork Chop Jr., Matt was a RAGBRAI celebrity and alongside his signature pink bus, he made and sold grilled Iowa pork chops on the route each year. Riders would stand in long lines to get a chop that had been grilled on a bed of corncobs right there on the side of the road. His dad had launched the business back in the early 80’s after RAGBRAI came through their hometown of Bankroft and when Matt took it over, he perfected grilling techniques and riders responded by stopping whenever they saw the big pink bus. On this episode you will hear an excerpt from Episode 2 of Matt being interviewed by reporter Kyle Munson, and also an excerpt from Episode 127 when Murph interviewed Matt.  We also have some special guests on to share memories of Matt and the big pink pig bus. Matt Bernhard is an icon that will be greatly missed.
Special thanks to Matt Phippen, Brian Brinkema, Brian Powers, and Scott Sumpter for sharing.
