Barring another postponement due to the spread of the cornonavirus, RAGBRAI 2021 will take place pretty much along the same route it would have taken in 2020. Organizers of the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa say the ride will take place between July 25 and July 31. The 2021 Route is 426 miles and 11,481 feet of climb making it the 16^th flattest in RAGBRAI History.

On Saturday, organizers said it would be the same Le Mars to Clinton route that was scheduled for 2020. However, there are two changes. The ride will go to Sac City and Dewitt instead of Storm Lake and Maquoketa for overnights.

The ride will start in Le Mars and go to Sac City, Fort Dodge, Iowa Falls, Waterloo, Anamosa, Dewitt and Clinton. The weeklong ride costs $175, but non-riders can register for $35, and for riders to get day passes it’s $30.
