RAGBRAI is in full gear as day two brings the excited riders in to Atlantic by a 40-mile ride from Red Oak. These cyclists are from all over the country and bring in their own particular stories of what they’ve seen while on the route. Two riders who have been enjoying every second of RAGBRAI and the hospitality shown to them is John Snidarich from Minnesota and Gail Tisch from Wisconsin.

Tisch shared the unique sights and sounds she’s encountered while pedaling through Iowa.

For Snidarich the magic of RAGBRAI is not from the different vendors, but the people he’s been able to ride and connect with throughout the day.

Another individual who has felt the vibrant energy brought to Atlantic from RAGBRAI is volunteer Kim Phillips.

Phillips noted that with the thousands of people flooding inside downtown Atlantic, it creates an opportunity to meet a wide variety of individuals.

Day three of RAGBRAI will take cyclists 82 miles from Atlantic towards Winterset.
