It's funny, I watched this, and the one thing I caught in the rapid montage was a guy dressed like a banana.

1 person hates the thought of physical fitness...

After open heart surgery and a kidney transplant in the last year (all of this after 8 years of dialysis), my wife and I are training to travel from Colorado to ride RAGBRAI this summer to rase funds for charity. This video is inspirational as I train on the indoor trainer right now - thinking this will be a great time, and happy for any pointers or tips you can share. This looks like an awesome ride!

Best of success with your recovery. I hope to see you at RAGBRAI this summer.

Great event, great social experience. I don't think, though, people do this for the scenary which seemed devoid of any luster.

@zeekle Thanks, you too.

[dukesgal01]

yo cop, get meh some donuts

[jeremy8080]

People in iowa are so nice!

[IstasPumaNevada]

That looks like a blast, and a good way to get together with a bunch of people.

Thank you for sharing it with everyone, and good job on composting the video as well.

[singletrackedmind]

This was a blast to watch. Fantastic job on the editing, music selection and really creating and fun mood. I can't imagine how long it took to put this together - but whatever it was, it was worth it!

Thanks for your nice comments. Yeah, the whole process took months of planning. I fabricated three digital still cameras with intervalometers and mounted two of them on my bike for the 7 day ride. Each of the cameras shot one high resolution still image every 5 seconds. At the end of the ride, I had over 65,000 images to edit the video with. The tough part was I had to shoot all of it blind. I could not look through the viewfinder while riding.

[LEXPIX]

Very cool. Well done.

[100timelapse]

Thanks. It was fun to shoot and fun to edit later. It was all done with small point-and-shoot still cameras mounted on my bike.

[JonathanBruner182]

That is so awesome. I want to do that. When is it?

[vivalaleta]

We missed RAGBRAI this last summer - to be honest we could not afford to work our asses off so hard this year. This film brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[100timelapse]

Thanks for your sentiment. I was concerned that the ridership of RAGBRAI would be down this year due to the economy, but I was wrong. RAGBRAI was as big as I've ever seen it. Heck, it is a great, inexpensive way to spend a week's adventure vacation.

[dracorealmz]

this is a great!! i mean it.

[djsandoors]

Nice film and bring good feeling .

I"m mostly bike touring myself but with the group i think have mach more fun.

[100timelapse]

Thanks for your comment. I just got back from this year's RAGBRAI. I understand that 20,000 riders took part in what was a fantastic and hilly week. Lots of camaraderie , fantastic scenery and great food.

[POWERJFROMLA]

[deezynar]

Looks like a lot of fun.

[cetconnect]

Very nice. Great editing. Creative use of music abd stop action,

[100timelapse]

Thanks for your comment. The filming of Inside RAGBRAI necessitated developing a new lightweight time lapse dual camera system that had to work under very adverse conditions. The results were better than expected. I've since used the system (4 cameras now) for other commercial and corporate media applications with similar success.

[cecizzy]

Nice music.

[100timelapse]

Thanks for your comment. My old colleague, John Avarese is a film composer. He did a magnificent job. He captured the quirky tone of RAGBRAI perfectly.
