Registration Update & Tips

Sun, Feb 21, 2010 | by TJ Juskiewicz

We appreciate everyone’s patience as everyone is trying to register for RAGBRAI.

We are finding that most people’s questions can be answered simply by reading the helpful tips for registering. Here are those links again to help you get registered:

Instructions for New Users (*Adobe Reader Required)
Instructions for Returning Users (*Adobe Reader Required)
Online Registration FAQ (*Adobe Reader Required)

If you do need to contact us, keep in mind that it may take a day or two to get back to you. It does not help to leave 4 or 5 messages and/or emails. This is why we ask you to start the process early (especially if you are a first time rider). Thanks again for the patience and we will get back to you and answer your questions.

If you have sent in your registration, payment and waiver, please realize that it does take time to correctly process these applications. We have thousands of them come in, so it takes a bit of time and it does not take place the day it arrives in the mail to our office. Thanks again for the patience.

Here are some other helpful links to the registration site:

I have registered online, but need to complete a waiver (*Adobe Reader required)

Here are some dates to keep in mind:

April 1, 2010 – Deadline for week-long online entry submission
May 1, 2010 – Lottery results posted
June 1, 2010 – Deadline to request refund (Wristbands will become nonrefundable as of a request date of June 1)
June 15, 2010 – Deadline to register online for day passes
Nov. 15, 2010 – Registration for RAGBRAI XXXIX opens

We look forward to seeing you in July!

Just want the staff to know how much I appreciate the job you all do. This will be my 4th Ragbrai and I’m always amazed how you all pull this off. I will be approaching 67 by the time Ragbrai 2010 rolls around so I don’t know if this will be my last one or not. Give me a week after the ride and I’ll have a better idea. Who says getting older can’t be fun!!!!!!! Dave Julian

I am VERY impressed! I mailed my group’s waivers on Monday at 5:00 pm and had email confirmation that RAGBRAI had processed them by Wednesday afternoon! Fast service by both the US Postal Service and the folks at RAGBRAI. My team of 9 first-timers are really looking forward to the lottery results!

unfortuneately, my dad and i missed the registration deadline this year, we need two week long rider wristbands. this (if we can find some wristbands) will be our 3rd consecutive RAGBRAI. if anyone has a friend that is not showing up or may have quit thier group after paying, we are trying to scalp a couple of tickets! leave a post or email me directly.
