Yes. Absolutely make sure to make a stop at Voodoo! Pack a few extra maple/bacon ones if you can. Soooo good.

I did the Dairyland Dare last year 266K. If you've never done long rides (over 50 miles) I would recommend the 100 K. Other good rides in the area are the Horribly Hilly Hundreds (sold-out the day it open for registration Jan 15) and the Insane Terr…
Sweet! We'll check back on August 15th and see if it worked out for you.
Thanks for all the replies and insight. Dairyland is definitely something i'm going to have to put on my "to-do" list for this summer.
I don't think RAGBRAI and Dairyland Dare represent an apples to apples comparison. If your goal is to push yourself, cover lots of miles, and get to the end as fast as possible, RAGBRAI won't appeal to you...it's more about the ride than the destina…
You'll be given an annotated cue sheet and painted street markers may or may not be present. There will be tons of volunteers and riders in spandex. Dairyland Dare is very hilly and challenging and ranks up there with Horribly Hillly. It brings out…
If you like to ride steady and fast RAGBRAI may not be ride for you. The draw of RAGBRAI (for us at least) was stopping in the towns along the way and enjoy the food and local attractions. We had an informal rule that we stopped every place that had…
While they're not multi-day events, you should check out the Brevets scheduled by Great Lakes Randonneurs (http://www.glrrando.org/)

It's not so much the climbing that i that i'm looking for (not that i could avoid it either), i'd just prefer a longer daily route. I'd love to do RAGBRAI though. You're right, i could try both. :)
Steven, your assumption about finishing early on a multi-day ride is right. If you're to the rest town by noon, then you don't have much to do other than hang around in town. I suppose you could go back on the day's route backwards then come back to…
I took a "credit card" trip from SF - Seattle last fall. Nothing but a hydration sized backpack, iPhone, some Clif Bars...the basics. Super fun. I wouldn't do it any other way.
Hey all. I've been thinking about doing the Dairyland Dare in WI this August. It seems perfect. I've been looking for rides like this - something greater distance and more challenging. I'd love to do the Ragbrai across Iowa, but to be honest, i…
Yes. I should probably plan on coasting in to Seattle and going straight to the hospital. haha. yeah, it'll be a lot of time in the saddle. during most of the day i'll be only taking some time now and then to take some pictures, send a tweet and res…
Thanks. i might be in over my head, but it'll be fun to find out. i'm shooting for 6 days (5 day push) so it'll mean pedalpedalpedalpedal pretty much all day. :)
