RAGBRAI coming to Allamakee County this Saturday ...

Riders from RAGBRAI XLIX will be making their way into Allamakee County for the final day of this summer’s annual ride this Saturday, July 30. The map images above for Waukon (map image above) and Lansing (map image below) show the various routes and locations of information and interest for riders and anyone in the area that day. Riders will enter Allamakee County near Postville via Highway 18 and will then make their way from Postville to Waukon via Cherry Valley Drive, Forest Mills Road and State Highway 76, entering Waukon from the south via the combined Hwy. 9 and 76/Rossville Road route, past the Waukon City Park. Along with various businesses open at their regular location in Waukon, a welcome/rest area featuring vendors, activities and more will be established in the parking lot of the Waukon Banquet Center (large blue patch with “Amenities” listing on right side of Waukon map) for riders to take advantage of as they make their way down Rossville Road to the stoplight intersection in Waukon and then head east out East Main Street/Elon Drive to Lansing Harpers Road. Heading north on Lansing Harpers Road, riders will travel into Lansing via Great River Road to the final tire dip site at the end of Main Street, along with all that the Lansing community has to offer (as noted in the Lansing map). NOTE: There will be no scheduled road or street closures along the route from Postville to Lansing, so motorists are urged to drive with an abundance of caution when encountering RAGBRAI traffic, which will be fairly consistent during the official riding times of 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday.
