CYCLEPATHS - THE RAGBRAI MUSICAL

 

FULL-LENGTH STAGE MUSICAL COMEDY

Book, Music & Lyrics by Robert John Ford

​

This one-hour musical comedy tells the saga of a hipster couple from Brooklyn who falsely believes a tandem-bike journey as part of RAGBRAI - the Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa - will be a relaxing, carefree summer vacation.  Each song focuses on a specific aspect of the ride, such as the delusions, the host towns, the weather, the food, the debauchery, the locals, and the exhaustion. CYCLEPATHS began as a sketch in RJF's musical revue UTOPIA - THE IOWA MUSICAL REVUE, which has been performed 75+ times throughout Iowa since 2008.​​​
