Our community welcomes riders to Guttenberg for the sixth time in the history of RAGBRAI.  We consider it an honor to host riders again to our city, truly one of America’s most beautiful places.  

As mayor I believe I speak for our residents when I say that Guttenberg possesses natural beauty, but this is also backed up by Forbes Magazine that listed it as “one of the prettiest towns in America.” Bike riders will be entering Guttenberg from the west on the Garber Road (C7X), but no matter which way you enter our community, you will be awestruck by its impressive scenic beauty.
