Radio Iowa You are here: Home RAGBRAI looks to return this summer after pandemic shutdown Organizers hope the thousands of RAGBRAI riders will be pedaling across Iowa this summer. Last year’s edition of the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa was canceled because of the pandemic. The 2021 ride will start in Le Mars and end a week later in Clinton. Lesley Webster, director of the Clinton Convention and Visitors Bureau, says they’re working to create a safe destination. “We assume that COVID will be somewhat of a factor still, so we want space where people can cue up and there’s still space around them and they don’t have to be right on top of other people,” Webster says. “We’re aiming for a nice, smooth flow and I think that’s going to be great.”
