Statewide Iowa — Thousands of bikers start RAGBRAI Sunday in Sioux City and they will present some traffic challenges as they roll across the state this week.
Iowa State Patrol Trooper Kary Yaneff says it could interrupt the routine of drivers.
Many county roads that are normally lightly traveled will be filled with bikes. Yaneff says you should be prepared for anything if you are driving in the area of the ride route.
Yaneff says this is a short-term interruption of the normal routine that will go smoothly if everyone takes their time and is understanding. The communities hosting the riders may experience some cellphone service issues once the bikers arrive with their phones.
Yaneff says some communities are trying to boost the cellphone signals, but there could still be issues. The 50th annual ride ends next Saturday in Davenport.
