I know the century patch will eventually arrive in the mail….but I sadly never got around to picking up my main Ragbrai patch for 2022. Is there still a way to get one?

I’m thrilled to be riding my first RAGBRAI, but am undecided about WHAT to ride. I have a Specialized road bike that I’ve done the occasional Century ride with.
