So glad you guys were able to make it to RAGBRAI and so happy I ran into you guys twice on the ride (Once in Onawa and the again in Denison). I had asked in one of your first videos when you started this trip if you were going to make it out for RAGBRAI and you weren't sure you were going to make it. I'm glad it worked out and that you were able to make more videos on the event. Your first RAGBRAI video way back when was how I found your channel in the first place. Hope you and Ali enjoyed the "Iowa Nice" experience on RAGBRAI. Come back soon!

It's been an incredible journey and this series hit home for me. For some of us the" Mile Of Silence Ride" is a ride everyday and life gets tough sometimes. But you took us by the hand and help us visit these hard places again. And what joy you gave it! It feels silly waking up in the morning and smiling but this is what I did throughout this series. You preached your gospel and preached it well and that is the gospel of "just go." Yes it hurts but just do it and life has to go on. I have sooo much respect for you! Thank you for giving us another season of joyfulness in what we love doing. It's a gift and we thank you for this gift.

I just discovered your channel at the beginning of RAGBRAI. I have left several comments and you always responded. So, I have to tell my very first RAGBRAI story. In 1973 I was a teenage kid in Cedar Rapids. Every morning I was out there on my bike delivering the Des Moines Register. All week I had been reading about this great bike ride. By Saturday, I had talked my parents into letting me ride along. My dad drove me to Williamsburg for the last day of the ride. We met John Karrras and got to talk to him for a few minutes. When Donald Kaul walked up Mr. Karrras introduced me as "our colleague". He must have noticed the amazed look on my face and explained that if nobody delivered the paper nobody could read the storied they had written. I was just amazed these two "famous guys" would think of someone like me in those terms. The generousity they brought to RAGBRAI is the main reason it became what it is today. The sad part of the story is that Donald Kaul is no longer with us and last year John Karrras was widowed after 66 years. Mrs. Karras was a great supporter of the riders. The hopeful part of the story is that I can see you and Mr. Karras are made of the same stuff. Perhaps you will live a similar life.

Too bad she didn't have a chance to watch some slaughterhouse footage before she tucked into that poor pig.
