The Mount Pleasant Area Chamber Alliance discussed the 51st RAGBRAI, which will see thousands of cyclers ride through Mount Pleasant in July. Not only is Mount Pleasant part of the route, but it is also an overnight stop. That’s right, many people will be staying in our town on Friday, July 26th, before they take off for Burlington for the final leg of their ride.
Rachel Lindeen, the Executive Vice President, spoke with us on Wednesday. She wants the public to be aware of what is happening and constantly in the know. As of right now, there are very few details known about RAGBRAI. The route is not released until April. Lindeen mentioned how members of the Chamber are meeting with RAGRBAI representatives at the beginning of February to uncover additional details.
We will ensure to update our listeners of any new information surrounding this big event as new details are made known.
