Every year 20,000+ people gather in Iowa to participate in one of the greatest cycling traditions in the USA: RAGBRAI. RAGBRAI stands for Registers Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, and 2024 was the 51st ride. This might just be the biggest party on two wheels in the world, and we're so excited to launch into biking across this beautiful state. From delicious food and beers, to endless corn fields and kind hearted locals, we're seeing some of the best that America has to offer. Let's go!

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

Donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society can be made over in the side bar if you're watching this video on a computer. Thank you so much for your donation! Every bit helps.❤

Iowa is a great state with absolutely horrible weather. I’ve been living in Des Moines for the past few years. Iowans are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Salt of the Earth. I became a Christian in Iowa, and will always be thankful for that.

@Rick-wx4md Месяц назад

I found my father in Iowa. As well.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Wow, that's amazing to hear. ❤ Thank you for sharing! Iowans are so authentically kind and it sounds like you've experienced some of the kindest folks out there.

@susanmarie3425 Месяц назад

RAGBRAI was blessed with good weather this year! The pie, pork chops, and people were -- as usual -- the BEST.

@AndyCrow Месяц назад

Great video capturing the spirit of Ragbrai

@NickReed007 Месяц назад

18:00 I AM THE SPIRIT OF RAGBRAI!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thanks, Andy! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! :)

@joshok2440 Месяц назад

What's up Chris and Sara! Great meeting u guys excited to follow all your content now

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

So great to meet you, too! It was fun seeing y'all throughout the week and getting ot hang some! Any chance y'all will do it again in 2025?

A very well shot and edited video of my favorite summer activity! I loved all the slow motion b-roll of the towns and the shots from out in the cornfield a little. I have never seen myself in anyone else's RAGBRAI video, even after 12 years of going, but i saw my name in your video TWICE on the places you were writing your names (Elliott and Griswold). After that accident scene, i was just at the top of the hill when the ambulance went by..... maybe 30 seconds ahead of where you were. So glad you enjoyed my home state!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thanks so much! We must have ridden so close to each other the whole time. 😂 Hopefully you'll spot your self in the second video from RAGBRAI. It was such a fun experience, Iowa was incredibly welcoming and we absolutely loved everything about it!

@ririmr4978 Месяц назад

YES Kara and Nate (youtubers from Nashville) did this a couple of years ago. SUPER COOL Go Chris and Sara!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

We had such a blast!

@marilyna.1686 Месяц назад

RIP Mr Porkchop. Glad to see family/friends are still carrying on the tradition of being at RAGBRAI. The pie to try in Iowa is rhubarb or strawberry-rhubarb. And yes, Iowa is not flat. 😂 Glad you had a great time on RAGBRAI.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

His family and friends were carrying on his legacy well! They were there everyday serving us hungry cyclists with a smile. :)

@ririmr4978 Месяц назад

HECK yeah I will donate 🙏

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thank you so much!

@alwayswandering52531 Месяц назад

Love that you came to my home state!!! You even went through my home town of Albia!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

No way!! Iowa was WONDERFUL! The whole state was beautiful and so hospitable. We absolutely loved it!

@ragbrai_iowa 20 дней назад

"We've only biked nine miles but we're already on our second breakfast... look at the butter!" Doing it right!! 🥰🥰

@rwwwwr5382 Месяц назад

Glad to see you did the traditional RAGBRAI with camping and the trucks as opposed to the private contractors. You did it right!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Yes! We definitely wanted that experience at least once! We're thinking an RV might be nice one day though to get a little extra sleep. 😅

@TracyinCA Месяц назад

It actually is easy to donate on a mobile device as well! Leukemi/Lymphoma is close to our hearts, and we're so happy to participate. But next time we want to come along for the ride!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thanks so much, y'all! And YES! We'd love to bike it with you guys one day. 2026??

@joekuykendall Месяц назад

Love how happy you are talking about this. My face hurts from smiling through this whole video. It's great to see friends doing things they love!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thanks, Joe! It was SO much fun so I'm glad it shows in the video. Hope y'all are well! We miss y'all!

@Grafights Месяц назад

Thanks for fundraising. My buddy has just been diagnosed with NHL. RAGBRAI looks amazing, it's on our bucket list.

@joleneb6216 Месяц назад

I really enjoyed this. Very well done. I was a volunteer this year in the town of Macksburg which will be in your next vlog I am assuming. Macksburg is another very small town and our population is right at about 100 people.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thank you! And, yes, I remember Macksburg! I believe we ate gravy and biscuits there. lol

@joleneb6216 Месяц назад

@@chrisandsara Macksburg was the last pass through town before your overnight stop in Winterset.

@recreationventuring Месяц назад

Ragbrai is on my bucket list. Taking that much time being unavailable is not possible for me right now, but looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey.

@lineberndt653 Месяц назад

This was so good to watch. I was a newbie this year as well. I will definitely do it again!!!!

@billogrady882 Месяц назад

One of the better (best?) RAGBRAI videos. Excellent musical selection!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Wow, thank you so much!! That means a lot!

@WheresWiseman Месяц назад

We've watched a few Ragbrai videos over the years and yours is our favorite. Looks like so much fun! 🍌🍌🍻🚴🏻‍♂️

@kaylaandmarkalan Месяц назад

So cool you guys did this! I didn’t realized it ended in Burlington! Mark Alan lived in Burlington for about a year!

@jclring Месяц назад

i saw myself in this video so many times! my cousin and i recognized you guys but were too scared to say hi. i’m a iowa native and was laughing at the walking tacos 😂 so glad you liked ragbrai

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

No way!! I wish y'all had said hi!! It would have been fun to bike together for a while. We'll definitely be back for RAGBRAI one day soon, hopefully as early as next year. :) Iowa and RAGBRAI as a whole were wonderful and we can't wait to be back!

@tamikrough1217 Месяц назад

My sister passed from Non Hodgkins Lymphoma almost 30 years ago. Thank you for the fundraiser and also for visiting our great state. Black Tire is from my hometown.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

I'm so sorry to hear your sisters passed from Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. Cancer is a nasty disease and I know it must have been so hard to watch her go through it.❤ Happy we could use our channel for even a small part to fundraise for the cause.

@awightman1221 Месяц назад

Can't wait for part 2! RU-vid ads are getting ridiculous... there were EIGHT ad breaks in this video!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thank you!! It’s releasing tomorrow. Sorry for the ads

@ritalans8063 Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed RAGBRI. Always a crazy week in Iowa especially with weather. You lucked out and it was not 95 degrees. Stop back again for some Iowa Nice!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

I can't believe the wonderful weather we had!! It felt like perfect! We had been training in 95+ and humid in Tennessee and that cool wave we timed in RAGBRAI was a dream come true. 😂

@WhatNoOneTellsYouPodcast Месяц назад

Want to hear about all the BTS on RAGBRAI? We just released a podcast episode about our entire experience!

@Rick-wx4md Месяц назад

Biking is great. Such a simple pleasure. I love to ride my Lectric mountain bike.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Agreed! It's like being a kid again.

@jeremysmith7708 Месяц назад

This looks SO cool!

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

It's SO much fun! Highly recommend!!

@TimBlaze80 Месяц назад

That was a horrible wreck (16:50). The cyclist was pretty messed up, (broken jaw, arm, etc). My teammate on the Air Force Cycling Team was holding her head. Good thing she is also a Nurse Practitioner.

@TheAwesomeYouTuber1 Месяц назад

Sorry to hear about your friend did you enjoy your pitstop in Fairfield Iowa.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Thank you ❤ Unfortunately the day we rode through Fairfield was the one day we didn't ride (we'll explain more in the second video). It looked like a lovely town though!

@douglaskaye1395 Месяц назад

So sorry to hear about Allie😢

@audiomxr Месяц назад

Midwest nice beats Southern nice all day long.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Agreed! And I know you know since you've lived in both. :)

@DuffyGabi Месяц назад

I donated $50. Allie was far too young. Tomorrow is not promised. Enjoy today.

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

Wow, thank you so much. ❤ That means so much to us and all who love someone who has/is battled the nasty disease.

@longrider42 Месяц назад

Um, yeah, the hills. If you did not know. This was the Hilliest route RAGBRAI has ever taken. And when I found out the route, I decided I had better things to do. I have family in Red Oak and Villisca Iowa. So I new first had about the hills. I am hoping to do it next year. Oh, and I did RAGBRAI back in 2012.

@akactors Месяц назад

Sara is adorable! Marry me?

@chrisandsara Месяц назад

She's already married :)

@krob777 Месяц назад

That runner must’ve been a little been illiterate because he couldn’t read it’s a bike ride across Iowa not a foot race.

@TopSecretInformations 24 дня назад

Weird ASSumption &/or weak joke. Perhaps he prefers his feet than wheels and still wanted a workout amongst cyclists who are also enjoying life. Enthusiastic independent thinkers aren't "illiterate."
