Welp, Ragnarok 2026 is in the books. Thank you to everyone that showed up! It always amazes us that people want to take a shot at this event year after year. The weather wasn't the worst, but it made for some challenges. Thank you to everyone that helps us throughout the event. And a special thanks to support crews that are willing to help riders beyond their circle. 

We did something this year that wasn't expected... we changed the last third of the route. You're welcome to the riders that rode some extra miles. If your computer read 107mi or more, you either didn't follow directions and should be ashamed of yourself, or you took a wrong turn on the course. So next time you ride past a checkpoint and say "I got it", remember you don't! 

Without further ado, the finishers list.

First, we have a spot and time for Friday night registration. Libertys Restaurant and Lounge in Red Wing 6-8pm. We will be on the lounge side where you can also eat and grab a bevy if that's your thing. There will be a fish fry... it's a Red Wing classic. If you don't pick up your number Friday night, please get to the start line with plenty of time so we don't have to rush to get you on course. There is no longer a bike shop in Red Wing so make sure you have everything you need before you get there. Also, support your local bike shop! As you all know by now, the weather is not looking that great. This is a spring event in Minnesota so it's kind of what we expect. If for some reason we think the weather will become dangerous we do have shorter routes planned. If this is the case we will do our best to get that information out as soon as we can. For now, expect the full route. BE PREPARED FOR IT! The most up to date information will be sent out on instagram and Facebook. So check there first. I won't be able to keep up with all of the emails but I will do my best. If you aren't able to show up, please let us know still. This makes registration easier. Some of you getting this have already emailed me but I didn't get the roster updated yet today. Reminder, you are responsible for yourself! Please have arrangements if you need to be picked up off the course. We are spread thin and will not be able to. There are two checkpoints where there are gas stations. There are bars and restaurants, but do not rely on them and if you go into them to warm up, BUY SOMETHING! There will be three biffys/port-a-pottys at the start but if you want a warm toilet, you might want to stop somewhere first. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

More information...Please read!

 YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF. 

The day is almost here!

Please come prepared. We don't have the ability to help folks out on the course. If we as race directors or anyone affiliated with the race (outside of fellow riders) helps you, you will be disqualified. But don't be dumb, if you are going to die please call us. The mobile service is spotty on most of the course so we may not be able to respond to you right away. 

As riders you can help each other as much as you want, and support crews can help others too. Your support crew cannot hand you anything outside of the checkpoints. We can give them directions to the checkpoints the morning of the ride. 

There will be opportunities to refuel at approximately mile 35 and 80ish. Even though you have options to refuel, come prepared. You never know when a place will shut down in a small rural town. 

Be prepared for all weather conditions! With wet conditions there is a chance you're out for longer than you planned.  

Reminder upon arrival to Mississippi National Golf Course park in the lower lot. We need to leave all of the upper parking lot for golfers. This will make sense when you get there. 

If you have any questions please contact us. I won't be answering tire or gravel conditions questions, Remember YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF!

See you soon!

Ragnarok 105 Information

We are getting closer to race day, so here is some information you may want. 

Details: 

Race date: April 4, 2026

1) We start and end in the parking lot of Mississippi National Golf Links on the east side of Red Wing. If you travel through town on 61 heading South you can’t miss it. Please fill the lot farthest from the clubhouse first. Ride start will be 7:30 “sharp”. 

2) We’ll be starting as one group. 

3) We will be setting up around 6 am Saturday morning. It would be great if we didn’t have to check everyone in between 7:00 and 7:20 but we’ll deal accordingly. THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL RECEIVE YOUR CUE/TULIP NOTES. If you don’t know how a tulip note works there is a description somewhere on the web page. www.ragnarok105.blogspot.com NO THERE ISN'T A GPS FILE TO GIVE YOU. If you ask for one there is a penalty(tbd). It will probably be in the form of a blank stare and judgment. 

 There will be a check in Friday night If you want your tulips early and help us out so Saturday is less chaotic. If you're in town Friday night, please support the local businesses. Time and location TBD. 

4) We should have 3 nice and clean biffies for your use. The clubhouse won’t be open in the morning, and unless you buy something, it shouldn’t be counted on for post ride relief either. We’re trying to be good neighbors. 

5) You are responsible for yourself. 

6) If you need to drop out during the event…. See note 5. No one associated with the Ragnarök will be providing rides or pick ups or any support whatsoever outside of checking you in at a checkpoint, handing you the next cues, and saying “great job”. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF! 

7) Due to people being lame. Do not expect to be able to use past course files for route finding, it will be INCORRECT (not joking). 

8) If you finish, heck... if you don't finish and want an award, you can pick a rock off of the course and we will sharpie your name and finish time or drop out milage on the rock. I'm not kidding. If you win the race and want 1st place on your rock I can do that too. If you want all of your friends to think you got 1st or 31st I'll write what you need to continue life with your head held high. 

 If you need to drop out of the event please let us know as soon as possible. 

 Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
