    • Important Notes:

  • Completing the REGISTER's on-line RAGBRAI form and HBA's RAGBRAI Application Form does not automatically get you a wristband and HBA accomodations.
  • RAGBRAI allots 60 week-long passes to HBA.  We cannot guarantee passes for all applicants.  Local, active HBA cyclists who participate in HBA events and club rides get 'first dibs'.  Club members who are not local, and out-of-town relatives of local HBA members add a lot of fun to our shared experience, and they will continue to be welcomed.
  • If the number of applicants for HBA exceeds 60, plan-B is for extra riders to apply for individual wristbands through the RAGBRAI lottery.  HBA can sometimes provide overnight housing and daily baggage transport, if the extra rider can provide their own transportation to the starting town.
  • Send a separate application for each person:  (More than one application can be mailed in the same envelope.)
  • You must sign both the HBA RAGBRAI Application and the RAGBRAI waiver. Unsigned applications will be returned. 
  • The cancellation fee this year is $40. until April 30th, and $80. afterwards.  The remaining fee will be refunded when we are able to sell you spot.  This fee helps cover costs and effort associated with reselling the passes.
