RAGBRAI 2022 is history, and what a ride it was! On this episode the famous YouTuber Ryan Van Duzer is on to share his RAGBRAI experience along with some of his other bicycle adventures. An unexpected canceled Sweden trip gave Duzer an opening in his schedule and he jumped on the chance to come to Iowa to enjoy RAGBRAI again. A lifetime Boulder, Colorado resident, Ryan has spent all of his life enjoying the outdoors and now inspires others to get out there. He documents his adventures on YouTube at DuzerTV. Duzer calls RAGBRAI the most amazing bike event in the world, and of course we agree!

A few weeks ago Murph was in Colorado as part of the Ride the Rockies crew. Ride the Rockies is a 6 day Colorado bicycle tour that started way back in the mid eighties. This year riders tackled 8 mountain passes on their bicycles, almost 30,000 feet of elevation gain and not one but two days of over 100 miles of pedaling. I caught up with Jason Carolan from Flexential to get a recap on his week of biking in Colorado. Flexential has been supporting the ride for 8 years, and Jason is on to tell us about his company as well as his week on the bike.
