Thinking about riding RAGBRAI across Iowa in July 2023? Or are you already registered for RAGBRAI 2023 and looking for a team? Either way, you are invited to the CUBS annual Kickoff Brunch on Sunday, February 5, 2023, at 11:00AM at the Greenhouse Restaurant, on the Misericordia campus, 6300 N. Ridge, Chicago.

Brunch is buffet style, and costs $25 per person, including tax and tip. All interested RAGBRAI riders (and non-riders) are invited to attend. Following brunch (at noon) there will be a team meeting where you can get your RAGBRAI questions answered and have a chance to meet experienced RAGBRAI riders, learn about this year's route, our early housing arrangements, and see the design for the 2023 CUBS jersey.

Please RSVP to Brad Pendergast before February 1 at beeves@juno.com. The restaurant needs a head count! Families and significant others are welcome, even if some members are not riding RAGBRAI. Feel free to contact Brad Prendergast via email or phone with any questions; Brad’s phones are: Office: (773) 761-9900, FAX: (773) 761-9971, Cell: (312) 919-0700.

The CUBS are the Chicago Urban Bicycling Society. CUBS are a volunteer-led community of riders who join together to ride RAGBRAI, enjoy the hospitality of the people of Iowa, and give a little bit back to the state that welcomes the world every July. CUBS provides transportation for team members to and from Iowa and arranges overnight accommodation during RAGBRAI. This will be the 27th year for CUBS riding RAGBRAI.
