People travel from the entire globe to ride RAGBRAI and this week a new documentary premiers in Iowa revealing the stories, people and places that make up this ride. The documentary is titled Shift. Courtney Crowder and Kelsey Kremer of The Des Moines Register explain a side of RAGBRAI you probably didn't know existed.

They discuss the impact the ride has on Iowa towns, who the average rider is (it's not a super athlete), how much footage they had to sift through, history of the ride, how towns actually campaign to get RAGBRAI to come through their town and... do you have to dip your bike wheel in both rivers to official "complete" the ride?
