As the Tour the Raccoon gets a little closer and the weather is finally warming
up, not to mention that the gale force winds are calming down, registrations are
really picking up. There is only ten more days to pre-register for the inaugural
ride and three weeks to finalize preparations and training.

Yes you can register after June 1st. We will be accepting "same day"
registrations at Waukee Cycling from 6 to 10 AM Saturday morning but if you wait
you'll have to pack everything in your vehicle, drive to Waukee, park your
vehicle for the night, stand in line to register then start your ride. If you
pre-register, you can drop your bags off at any Des Moines Bike World anytime
the week before the ride, get up Saturday morning, eat a nice breakfast and
begin your ride right from your own driveway.
