Cornell Welcomes RAGBRAI

On Friday, July 25, Cornell and Mount Vernon will welcome nearly 15,000 riders as they bike through Mount Vernon for the 36th Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI). Faculty and staff will greet riders—especially Cornellians—at an Alumni booth with free wrist bands. A free Internet café will be located in front of Rood House.  Mount Vernon will be a Meeting Town, which means support vehicles can meet the riders, spend time in the area, and replenish whatever supplies are needed.

Fifth Street Closed in Mt. Vernon; Norton Lot Closed
The city has informed Cornell that during the construction project, until otherwise informed, Norton Geology parking lot will remain closed.  The West Science parking lot will remain accessible during most of the city construction. However, it too may close at times.  East side campus parking is available behind Rood House. Library parking will be limited. Additional parking is available behind the Commons, McWethy, Multi-Sport Center, and down by the facilities building.  Please avoid all fire lanes (designated by signage or red curbs) and handicap parking (blue curbs, signage) unless appropriately permitted.
