Gravel Day sponsored by Bike Rags: There is no denying riders who enjoy gravel riding! For the second year, RAGBRAI is hosting a full day of optional gravel. The 48-mile route will take riders along several variations of gravel that intersect with Rolfe, West Bend and ultimately the Gravel Patch oasis in Rodman before connecting with the paved route into Emmetsburg. Gravel Patch Oasis features Bike Rags, HED Cycling, BIKEIOWA, Soy Connection and your commemorative patch!
