This is possible, but RAGBRAI routes usually include routing that is less than direct(to get certain miles each day and to hit specific pass thru towns). Also, it routes along some roads that are shut down for the ride, but are otherwise busy.
'19 RAGBRAI went northeast, then northeast and south, then northeast and south, then southeast, then east and north, then southeast, then west and south and west and south. It was a fun route for sure, and repeated some of the roads of '16(?) which was neat. But it goes in all sorts of directions other than the direct one.
