Air Force Cycling Team to the Rescue-RAGBRAI 2019-Part 3

- RAGBRAI is one of my favorite bike events in the world! Over twenty thousand people pedal from the Missouri River, to the Mississippi River over the span of 7 days (about 450 miles). The state of Iowa is near and dear to my heart, the people are welcoming, and the endless corn fields and small towns serious charm. Did I mention Pie? How about homemade cinnamon rolls? This event is pure joy and it's hard to wipe the smile off my face. In this episode, my mom, Dana, Xanthe, and others start the adventure during a downpour in Council Bluffs.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this and helping share the Davis Phinney Foundation story!
So glad that I met you! I wanna do a specific video with Davis someday, let's make it happen!
Heya, nice segment on our Air Force Cycling Team, thanks. We had over 120 riders and a bunch of dedicated support people making this year's ride (our 25th) happen.
My dad was career Army. The Air Force Cycling team was one of my biggest highlights of the ride as they demonstrated everything I remember as a proud military brat. Keep up the great work!
Love what your team does out there!
Ryan is one feller who can never say "I wish I had done that when I was younger"
haha, that's true
Duzer. The guy on the hand bike. My heart breaks man. I love how you just love and respect and talk to everyone. He got me so motivated. Can't wait to be a part of it this year.
This RAGBRAI series may be a couple years old, but they never get old watching. Ryan, you are an inspiration to many people, including myself. I might be approaching 67, but I'm out there improving my endurance and distance because of your inspiration, love of everything, and view of life, and I tell everyone I can about your channel. Your interviews, voice-overs, "daily biking chants", videography and story-telling are quite unique, and I personally am looking forward to seeing many more of your adventures. There certainly are no other RAGBRAI videos out there like yours. Cheers!
Wow! What a kind comment. Thanks so much for making my day! I wish you all the best on your rides and adventures. No whammies! ;)
If I ever get to pedal with Ryan Vanduzer, my life will be complete.
RAGBRAI 2020 is in 11 months, come pedal with all of us!
Where do you live? Let's make it happen
Ryan Van Duzer I’m all the way in Illinois! Thanks for the reply!!!
Loved seeing the roads completely bereft of cars, only bikes on the road. If only it could always be like that! Thanks for sharing your adventure!
It's nice when bikes take over the world
the ebike truly changed your moms life.. you can tell she enjoyed this so much
It sure did!
Now after that who doesn`t want to go get a bike . Thanks Mr. Van Duzer
imabee2010 looking up ragbrai for next year
Makes my heart sing watching these videos!!
You got it!
Thanks for your 3 videos on RAGBRAI 2019. I gotta tell you that your conversation with the folks riding with Parkinson’s was most inspirational and thought provoking. So much so that I along with several of my coworkers who work with folks who have Parkinson’s have decided to get a team of 20 cyclists organized to ride 335 miles from Washington, DC to Pittsburgh on the C&O Canal Towpath and The Great Allegheny Passage this coming September in support of The Davis Phinney Foundation... Thanks for what you do...And you do it well...Exceptionally well!!!...Hey why not come out and join us?
Your videos make me happy. Thanks for sharing your joy.
Hope Luke will start his own CZcams channel...love the guy.
I'm trying to get him to do that!
2022 will be the year that I will ride the RAGBRAI. Thanks for sharing ;
Right on!
So fun to hear my reveille right at the start, yay Ragbrai! #TrumpetChick #AliciaRauTrumpetChick
YAY!!! LOved hearing that every morning!
@@duzer I love playing for Ragbrai!
LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, Salutes you all :) Thanks Ryan for letting the world share in your journey :)
Thanks for joining and stay tuned for more
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! May you always have tailwind, cool water, great friends and plenty of rhubarb pie! Thank you for the joy you share and the stories you tell.
Oh yaaaa! Rhubarb pie is one of the great things on Ragbrai !!
Thanks Barry! I really hope to meet you guys again in the future. I actually never met your sister, that needs to happen!
I loved that whole series. I hope to attend someday.
Beautiful, inspiring and heart warming Ragbrai coverage, Duzer! Thank you from all the fine folks who live and love in Iowa!! 🚲
I love Iowa so much!
That experience really couldn't have been improved upon. Loved every minute of your journey Ryan, well done on a fantastic achievement.
Thank you my friend!
Great Job documenting RAGBRAI Ryan. I rode this year with my sister as my SAG and my college buddy joined us from WED thru FRIday! Great Videos!
Nice, glad you had fun!
Thanks again for sharing your adventure , well done on another epic ride.
All the best to mom, Dana and Xanthe.
Thank you for sharing this. So many truly inspirational people...
Thanks! Ragbrai brings out the best
Well done Ryan! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. See you at RAGBRAI 2020!
Thanks, see you next year!
After watching these my wife and I are thinking of doing this next year.
I hope you make it out there!
"A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life"....Not this man, well done Ryan and thank you for these videos.
I got out today and rode. It’s 100 in Phoenix but I do a weekend bike picnic Thanks for the inspiration
Nice work, that sounds hot!
Thank you Ryan
Your videos make me happy! Thank you!
Thank you!
3:16 OMG! I'm from Iowa also living in Taiwan. When you said living in Taipei, I was blown away!
Crazy coincidence!
@@duzer You mentioned you did the 2018 Ragbrai. That ride on Day 1, went through my home town "Charter Oak" the night stop was Denison. That is the only second time Ragbrai has gone through my home town. The first time was 1988. I was 8 years old then. At the time I didn't know it was called Ragbrai, I was just so excited to see so many cyclist in the area. One cyclist gave me his flat tube. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Never saw a rode bike before then. It was only in my 20's I first heard about Ragbrai and put two and two together that they came through out town.
My Mom was a volunteer at the Methodist Church Food Stand. Yes, the Pies! the Pies! I volunteered as a server but was also one of the churches best customers.
You mentioned getting a good pie was hit or miss at churches but always 100% on at the Amish food stand. I'll give you a tip that you'll never have to eat a mediocre pie again in your life. You need to look at two things. You need to look at the pie crust, and you need to look at the filling. Store bought pie crust. Basically, you want to look for the pies that don't look perfect looking. The pie crust is uneven and un uniform. The pie filling, may not be pretty. The filling, you don't want a pretty looking filling because pretty looking filling is more likely to be store bought filling. The less attractive is the more likely it is that it is a home made pie. Also rule of thumb, if the crust looks home made, it is likely the filling is also home made. Also key and eye out and ask around for any unusual pie filling. choke cherry pie, rubbarb pie, if its not something you've commonly heard of before or strange combinations like strawberry apple pie, that is a good indicator it was made from scratch. And you may get to try something you've never eaten before.
You can also ask them, you want a pie that the crust and filling are all home made from scratch, they will likely know. Shoot, if you came cycling in when I was 8 years old, and asked me for what was the best pie, I could easily have told you because, I quickly learned which pies where good and which were run of the mill. Keep these tips in mind the next time you happen around pies.
Suprisingly there are some store bought pies that are actually amazing. Such as Braums apple pie. Its like pure fat with all the calories, but hey its good. Didn't have that when I was a kid.
Didn't expect to write so much but hey give it a shot.
I haven't watched the video yet, but congratulations on being sober for 5 years!
After watching your Iowa video I subscribed to your channel. I'm a bit of an adventure myself. Weekend warrior you could say. I cycle 30 minutes to work every day. Every other day I run 10 KM, on Saturdays I take my two kids out on epic adventures in the mountains, rivers, and ocean of Taiwan. Trying to train them up so they can go on more adventures with me as they get older.
Hope to join Ragbrai someday after Corona is over. The distance is a piece of cake for me cause I topically put in a lot of miles. And we have some of the best mountain climbs in the world. Though I will say, the Loss Hills will give you some good surprising climbs you may not have been expecting. XD
Peace!
Another beautiful year of ragbrai! Have a great upcoming Burning Man Ultra
I hope this doesn't sound weird but normally over positive people kind of drive me nuts but you inspire me with your positive outlook and your videos have helped me through this pandemic.
Aww thanks! I’m glad to hear that my videos have brought a smile to your face. Cheers!
Ryan, you do such a great job capturing the humanity/soul of this event. Wonderful series -- again! Thanks. Looking forward to your next adventure!
The humanity is the best part!
The Duzer happy train/bike keeps on rolling.
It sure does!
I think I'll have to put RAGBRAI on my bucket list! Thanks Ryan for sharing your beautiful adventure!
Do it!
Utter class, best wishes from South Shields
Thanks Fraser!
Love this, happy birthday 🎂 🎈🎉 Dana, can't wait until burning man
Another great video Ryan! I'm so going to the next RAGBRAI.
I sure hope so!
Ryan you are an amazing ambassador for RAGBRAI and cycling.. #teamduzer
Thanks buddy!
I hope to meet you there next year. I especially loved seeing the bits with Luke and his 920.
Oh, man. I didn't want it to end. Thanks for documenting your journey.
All good things must come to an end...but you know that I'll be making more videos soon!

awesome video! I'm in North Carolina but plan to ride next year because of your video! Stay safe and stay healthy my friend!
Hope to see you there!
2022.. time to ride again my friend!
I hope to be there!
Did you get Dana a Beekman's ice cream on her birthday? Yum. I looked forward to hearing the chug-chug-a-chug of their ice cream machine engine every afternoon.
After riding RAGBRAI all week, it was great to be able to look back and recall all the awesome experiences. In addition to that, I loved the highlight of meeting different people, especially those with various mental/physical difficulties. You showed that people are capable of more than they may think. Especially love the highlight on the air Force, which were truly incredible during the ride. Spectacular series.
I am addicted to your videos Ryan! You make such inspiring videos, keep crushing it, you are awesome!
Thanks Ren!! Stay tuned for more
Just great
Awe man, RAGBRAI can't be over with already!!!!! Another great journey, Ryan. Thank you so much for bringing us along for the ride. Hope to see you out there next year, which will be my first RAGBRAI. Until then, NO FLATTIES, NO CRASHIES and NO WHAMMIES! Take care and enjoy the ride! :)
Hope to meet you too!
Loved each and every one of these. Sad that they are over but I'll see you there next year, this time, in person!
Thank you for the video
Absolutely amazing watching the Ragbrai series Ryan! Ride on duze. Ride on!
Thanks my friend!
Good to see so many people on recumbents riding in comfort.
Just discovered Ryan. I stayed in his campground all week and didn’t know it now I’m very sad. Next time!!
Bummed that we missed one another, hope to meet you next year!
great series, really puts a unique perspective on the bike tour. We have subscribed and can't wait to watch the rest of your channel.
Welcome to my channel!!! Hope you enjoy my videos
So exciting, fun...
It really is fun!
Awesome!! Can't wait until RAGBRAI 2020.
Me neither!! Hope you two are doing well!!
Ryan, thanks for sharing your beautiful journey with us. We are blessed to know you.
Thanks for joining the fun!
God that looks like so much fun
RAGBRAI 2019 was my second. Your awesome videos brought back many great memories. Yep the food was great, especially the ice cream and cinnamon rolls ;-) Keep up the great work and inspiring others!
Awesome video footage. I can come back to these vlogs in the middle of winter when there is snow on the ground and remember the amazing times I had out there. I had tears crossing the finish line, but nobody could tell I was crying because of all the sweat
sweat and tears, that's what it's all about
11:55 that kid got skills!
Love your videos of RAGBRAI. I'll ride it some day. You should come run in Iowa too!
I should!
@@duzer If you want any recommendations, I know the majority of the races in Eastern Iowa.
Great videos of Ragbrai.
Wonderful ride Ryan, thank you so much for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
Amazing set of videos!
Thanks!!
Cyclone State too!!!
Great video series. I loved it all. Can't wait until next year.
Thanks my friend
Congrats to you all but especially your Mom. What a trooper. Thanks for another great biking video. Take care and safe cycling, Al
My mom was such a good sport
Thank you Ryan. Excellent in every way. Loved seeing Ragbrai.
Ryan should be on the travel channel
Someday!
hey Ryan, you mentioned earlier you'd rather do hill climbs than flat headwinds, then you should definitely do an autumn Adirondack State Park loop, you'd love it.
oooh, sounds fun!
Just plain and simple, AWESOME!
Inspired!
Hey Ryan thanks for another year of RAGBRAI. I love watching your videos, yes, because you have great content, and, good editing, but mostly just for you. I love your positive attitude and your determination to make things happen, like riding to Council Bluffs so you can then ride across Iowa. I'd like to ride like that but it's hard to convince this 70 year old mind, and very overweight body it can be done. Thanks man, and thanks once again for what you did for Luke.
Thanks my friend. I hope you can make it happen someday, but if not, that you find another adventure to tackle
Great series..... the people you encounter are so inspiring! really want to travel over to bike this!!
Hope you make it happen!
omg so awesome especially touched by the Parkinson heroes. amazing Ryan, thank you so much I will do this someday.
Inspiring stuff Ryan. Nicely created, as ever.
I watched your channel before I road ragbrai this year, Loved them, now that ragbrai is over, looking forward to watch your next adventure.
2:43 First content from one youtuber that talked to another youtuber I've seen on a ride.
Looks like a fantastic time thanks for sharing and spreading that Love. Very cool.
AWESOME ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
A refreshing journey thank you sharing it with us!!
Thanks for joining
I hope to be there for 2022 RAGBRAI.
Me too!
Do people "flip-flop" Ragbrai? Cause I'd just turn around.
CHRIS BREWER!!!! One of the greatest.
The man!
Ryan, I so enjoy watching your videos. I discovered you last year when my wife and I were on our East to West cross country ride. We rode across Nebraska about a week or so after you did. We even camped in a couple of the same places! I followed LoveCycles while on our tour, and afterwards when you rightly began editing post trip instead of trying to do it at the end of a long, hot day! Anyway, I feel a connection because of that. I hope to cross paths with you someday! Your love of life, adventure and your fellow man are truly inspiring! Pedal On! I got to go do RAGBRAI!!!!!
Very cool! Did you ride the Cowboy Trail in Nebraska? Hope to meet you two someday and share some stories
@@duzer Yes, we did. We camped in Cody Nebraska at the same place you did and shopped at the little community run store where they hold classes and the kids basically run the place. Fun times!
Just the best Ryan! I’m doing RAGBRAI!!!
Thank you, Ryan, for sharing your awesome adventures!!! Zantha is so lucky to have such an amazing friend! Your Mom has an awesome son!!! Great job, Ryan!!! :0)
Duuuuzer, can you do a short video on the in's and out's of RAGBRAI? is it self supported? getting cap sites? food and drink provided? shuttles? etc.
I want to do RAGBRAI!!!!!!
It’s sooo fun
@@duzer It looks like it would be!!
FANTASTIC . I subscribed YEARS ago 😎👍🏻
You've been part of the team for years!
Your bird friends are Red Winged Black Birds. A very territorial species and if someone or thing with similar colors to theirs shows up, its to them a contender or trespassing on territory. Your helmet makes you guilty 😜
Looks like an absolutely magnificent experience, I cant wait to give it a try
It was a great week. Great video's of the week.
That's my bike laying against the tree @ 14:52. XD
haha, really? Awesome!
Oh man. You're just one kind of an inspiration to me!
