The Kossuth County Secondary Road Department is making plans to ready roads for this year’s edition of the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, or RAGBRAI.

This year’s RAGBRAI route will pass through northern Kossuth County on Tuesday, July 22, on Day 3 of the bicycle ride. It’s part of the 73.9-mile leg from Estherville to Forest City.
