The RAGBRAI Expo is the annual bicycle trade show that kicks off RAGBRAI featuring the newest and latest in bicycling and associated industries. The Expo takes place in Le Mars on Saturday, July 23, before the big ride begins. All RAGBRAI participants, friends, family and community residents are invited. It's FREE for all to attend!

The annual Expo features RAGBRAI's official 12 bike shops, bicycle and equipment manufacturers from around the country and retailers that are associated with the cycling world. Come see the latest in cycling technology and the newest products on the market. It's also a great place to pick up a new pair of cycling shorts, a RAGBRAI souvenir or that new bike computer that you've been thinking about. The Expo will also feature interactive demos, clinics and fun activities for all to enjoy inside the air-conditioned Century Hall at the Plymouth County Fairgrounds.

The RAGBRAI Expo runs from 12 - 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 23, 2005 at the Plymouth County Fairgrounds in and around Century Hall.
