GRINNELL (SPECIAL) – Although planning is already underway to host RAGBRAI in Grinnell on July 28th, the public is advised to direct all requests for housing to the official Grinnell RAGBRAI Housing committee.

“Some people have already received calls asking about housing,” said Kevin Kolbe, Chair of the Grinnell RAGBRAI Housing committee. “Please direct these calls to the Housing Committee – we will ensure that all participants are registered with RAGBRAI and match the requests to hosts.”

If a rider is unregistered with RAGBRAI, that means they have not signed the RAGBRAI Waiver and Release of Liability. Thus, any organization or individual who houses unregistered riders will be liable for any damage caused by such riders at their location.

To contact the Housing Committee, call 641-236-3141 or email housing@grinnellragbrai.com.
