On today’s episode meet Liam from Knoxville, TN. Liam and his friend John had the time of their lives riding their first RAGBRAI in 2025. They decided to ride RAGBRAI as a stepping stone, maybe more of a test tour, to riding their bikes across the US. The guys were not only self-contained, they also rode their bikes from Guttenberg all the way to the start town of Orange City, and then back to Guttenberg! Liam provides us with some great stories of his experience in Iowa.
