At least RAGBRAI is an organized event with an organized and stated route, the roadways closed to motor traffic.
It's basically Woodstock.

None of these can hold a candle to Sturgis.

If the town was caught by surprise, that’s on them.
You want to sell food and drink to the cycling crowd? Forget the steaks and get some skirts to sling good burritos and some craft IPA.

I road RAGBRAI in 1981. It had been a staple in Iowa for several years prior, and (obviously) it's been going strong ever since.
No community should be taken by surprise on any of the logistics involved. RAGBRAI participants pour tons of money into towns along the way, and have been doing it for decades.
I'm sorry your son lost money. Iced watermelon would have been a better bet than hot steaks.
