RAGBRAI riders love to have fun and our theme “Cycling Fun and GAMES” reflect the fun we will have at the welcome events and evening entertainment on Tuesday, July 25, 2023.
It’s been 5 years since Ames hosted an overnight stay, making this Century Loop Day full of beautiful views and wonderful sight-seeing opportunities.
With 83 total miles and 1,479 feet of elevation between Carroll and Ames, you’ll be ready for a true Cyclone welcome. The proposed route has RAGBRAI riders entering Ames on South Dakota Ave. heading north, then going east on Mortensen Rd. As riders approach campus they will head north on Beach Ave. then approach Jack Trice Stadium via the bike path. Cyclists will ride through the stadium concourse, exiting across the East Gateway Pedestrian Bridge. Expect fun surprises along the way! This route is subject to change.
Riders are invited to Downtown Ames after the ride for food, drink, and entertainment!

On days when it feels like you’d be pushed backwards by the wind if you stopped pedaling, one thing that will help get you thru the ride is the spirit and genuine hospitality of the each town. Farmers and local residents put their lives on hold and open up their homes to ensure 20K cyclists have food, beverages, a place to stay, and entertainment everyday of this event. #thankyouiowa #iowanice •
