  • How about we all get together at Glenwood Sr. High on Saturday and argue about it for the next 7 days?

  • The movie was filmed in 1999 not 1994.

  • It's just a movie people. They don't say it was RAGBRAI... Although they might have used the idea of the ride in the movie....

  • not even close to Ragbrai. We only see fast riders, mostly in the right line. Everyone who has done Ragbrai knows that there are a lot of slow riders in the left lane, where they don't belong. And Alvin would have been been passed by them starting way before 6:00 am, because thats how some of them roll !!

  • It was not RAGBRAI. They paid a bunch of locals abot $50 each to ride the bikes. Alvin Straight's house was recently tore down because some idiots lit it on fire.

  • @bsc349 Seriously? I can't believe his house is gone.

  • @racekatt.... Sadly, yes... Alvin's house is just a grass lot now.

  • I love this movie, but that is not RAGBRAI. This was clearly filmed in the autumn, and RAGBRAI is always in July. Must be some other bike ride.

  • One thing that doesn't make sense, though. A lot of the bikers have numbers pinned to their backs. On RAGBRAI we don't wear numbers like that. Not even in 1999. Other than that it does look like RAGBRAI.

  • But this event took place in 1994 retrofltz. Meybe they had those numbers then. However, not important.

  • Thanks for posting this. Wonderful movie.
