the causus belli was pretty baffling in the article

but I guess this is a pretty RAGBRAI story after all?

I’m pretty confused. Just tell me which ride to register for if I don’t want to be considered a nazi. There’s gotta be an app for this kind of thing.

The new one is for charity. The old one is a cash grab that expects local businesses along the route to pay the fees of the traveling vendors.

Maybe it was me. I just moved here a little over a year ago and things like this tend to get not cool shortly after I get near them.

wait, what? I can see how RAGBRAI is a cash grab but what’s this about local businesses covering costs for traveling vendors?

Only story I’ve heard of it, a restaurant at a stop over town had to was asked to pay a ragbrai fee to be open and have an inspection. Third hand account though.

Maybe that is standard, the vibe was pretty anti-ragbrai when I heard it.

You pay them or they won’t let you be open when the ride passes through?

That’s some serious hearsay. I could see it being more like :Local official knows ragbrai is headed to town and asks local food-serving establishment to actually get the proper permits and licensing so inspectors don’t shut them down, due to possible increased scrutiny a ragbrai visit would bring.

What would the RAGBRAI organizers do to prevent a business from being open when the giant ride passes through?

This. I’m very confused.

Threats?

Idk do we like these people or not.

If you’re pirating it stop at a different fucking retaurant

Are there special areas with food stalls or something just for riders? In that case, it makes sense to have the vendors pay since they will have a massive captive customer base, and setting up a temporary food court isn’t free.

The new ride was set up a year ago and didn’t tell ragbrai. #dramacloud
