Peace and adventure are central to RAGBRAI’s 2027 theme, as illustrated in the 54th ride’s newly revealed logo
Peace and adventure are central to RAGBRAI’s 2027 theme, as illustrated in the 54th ride’s newly revealed logo. The 2027 theme is “Spirit of ‘73″ and pays tribute to RAGBRAI founders, Des Moines Register writers John Karras and Donald Kaul. In a statement, organizers say the logo’s peace-sign throwing rider is not only a throwback to the “wannabe hippie” vibe of the ride’s founders, but is also a nod to the riders who have gestured the peace sign over the years. The route for the 2027 Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa will be revealed on January 23, with the ride to be held the last week of July.
