2008 Across State Bicycle Tours
Here's a list of some of the top multi-day sponsored bicycle rides for 2008, listed by state. Most rides include mechanical support, medical support, meals, sag vehicles, and provisioned rest stops. As this is a work in progress, please email me if you know of other bicycle tours that should be included. Updated ride dates are noted in BOLD on the pages. States A-F States G-I States K-L States M It all started with RAGBRAI back in 1973. RAGBRAI (Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa) got its start when two writers at the Des Moines Register challenged each other to bicycle across the state. They issued an open invitation for readers to join them, and 114 cyclists rode the entire six-day trip. Looking back, they were grateful for the low number of cyclists, because the route had not been driven and no advance accommodations had been made with towns along the route. Today, the bicycle tour has swelled to include thousands of cyclists, so many that RAGBRAI limits the number of riders doing the entire week to 8,500. And RAGBRAI has become the model for across-state bicycle tours in some 40 states. Combine these across-state bicycle tours with other large sponsored charity rides creates a huge opportunity for cyclists to participate in sag-supported rides that touch the fabric of our country across its width and breadth.
