Wristbands

You should have already received your registration packet if you registered online.  You do not need to check in.  Week long riders will have a rider wristband, bike band, luggage tag, license plate, and patch certificate.  All of these numbered items must match.  Wear the green rider wristband on your wrist, not on your ankle, during RAGBRAI.  Attach the blue bike band to your headset or stem.  Fill out the license plate and attach to the rear of your saddle.  Fill out the luggage tag and attach it to your bag.  Bring the patch certificate to the RAGBRAI merchandise trailer during the ride to redeem for your 2010 RAGBRAI patch.

Day riders who registered online should have received their wristbands.  They will have a different numbered wristband for each day they selected, a yellow bike band, a blank license plate, and a blank luggage tag.  Wear the wristband for that day on your wrist, not your ankle.  You will need to change the wristband daily to correspond with that day.  Attach the yellow bike band to your headset or stem.  Fill out the license plate and attach to the rear of your saddle.  Fill out the luggage tag and attach it to your bag.

Non-riders will wear their cranberry non-rider wristband during the ride.  It shows that you are a registered participant and not riding a bike.
