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.

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.

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

HBA Ragbrai Bus Application

2 Print a copy of the Register's RAGBRAI  waiver, sign and date it

RAGBRAI Application Waiver

3 Fill out the online group application form, specifying HBA (group #34).

You will need to create a USER ID and PASSWORD.   

 RAGBRAI online Application/Registration

4 Make your check payable to   Hawkeye Bicycle Association    
                                                    for $310 (this includes the $140 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 $310 check.

5 Send the HBA Bus Application (from step 1),  RAGBRAI waiver (from step 2), and a check (from step 4) to:

         Dick Woodward 
         3041 Circle Hill Court   NE
         Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402-3420


Important Notes:

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 and postage expense. 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.
