The phrase refers to the desire to obtain a digital, portable document containing the planned course for the 2025 edition of the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI), without incurring any cost. It signifies a user’s intent to access and save route information for offline viewing and planning related to participation in or observation of the event. An example would be a cyclist searching online to acquire the official route diagram in PDF format to study the terrain and plan daily mileage.
Accessing this information is crucial for participants and observers alike. Cyclists use it for training preparation, logistical planning (such as accommodation and support needs), and anticipating challenging segments. Observers benefit from the information by enabling them to strategically position themselves along the route to support riders, attend community celebrations, and experience the spirit of the event. Historically, such maps were predominantly available in physical print; the shift towards digital accessibility broadens access and promotes environmental sustainability.
