RAGBRAI has some information in its General Information under “Severe Weather”:

Can we go ahead and text RAGBRAI to 69310 now to register ourselves for this service or do we have to wait until the service is active on July 22? It would be more convenient to do now while we have this info of course.
I just tried to register and it is allowing you to register ahead of time.
