RAGBRAI
Click here for latest information - > RAGBRAI Update
Here are the rules for those who rode RAGBRAI with HBA last year:
1. You have to be a member of HBA by December 31 (the previous year) to go with the club on RAGBRAI the following year. Do not send your membership application with your RAGBRAI application. If you are not a member it is too late.
2. There must be separate RAGBRAI applications for each person. (More than one application can be mailed in the same envelope.)
3. Any unsigned applications will be returned to you. You must sign the HBA Bus Application as well as the Register's RAGBRAI waiver.
4. The cancellation fee this year is $20.00 until April 30th and $40.00 afterwards. The remaining fee will be refunded when we are able to sell your spot. This fee helps cover costs and effort associated with reselling the passes. It also helps us make sure we sell our allocation of passes to members who are serious about going on RAGBRAI with HBA. We would rather sell our allocation by the middle of February to members who expect to ride with us rather than to sell out in a few days and have a large number of returns.
Here are 5 easy steps to insure you are considered for the HBA RAGBRAI bus:
| 1 | Print a copy of the HBA Bus Application and completely fill it out |
| 2 | Print a copy of the Register's RAGBRAI waiver, sign and date it |
| 3 |
Fill out the online group
application form, specifying HBA (group #34). You will need to create a USER ID and PASSWORD. |
| 4 |
Make your check payable to Hawkeye Bicycle Association
for $285 (this includes the $125 fee for the Des Moines Register). If you purchased any RAGBRAI products with your online group registration (step 3 above), then add that amount to your $285 check. |
| 5 |
Send the HBA Bus Application
(from step 1), RAGBRAI
waiver
(from step 2), and a check
(from step 4) to:
Dick
Woodward Please: do not send your HBA Membership Renewal to Dick Woodward. |

Completing the on-line Register form does not automatically get you a wristband and HBA accommodations. On-line registration eliminates a lot of paper shuffling, postage expense and the frustration of reading poor handwriting. The club is allotted 60 rider wristbands and those are given as described in the bus application rules. Those who went last year automatically have their seats available to them until February 15. All applications are due at my house by February 15. The earlier, the better. The deadline for sending applications to the Register is March 1. If you are technologically challenged, please ask a family member or friend to help you with the forms. The Public Library also offers computer access. If you have no other alternative, contact me at 319-362-9890. |
