Now that Waterloo has been selected as an overnight stop for the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa this summer, local officials are making plans to welcome more than 10,000 visitors to the city on July 22.

A celebration and kick-off meeting for anyone interested in being part of this year's RAGBRAI event is scheduled from 4-7 PM Friday at SingleSpeed Brewing, 305 Commercial St., Waterloo. According to Experience Waterloo Executive Director Tavis Hall, volunteers can sign up at the meeting. Hundreds of volunteers are needed for various things like planning, pouring beer and directing RAGBRAI riders to the event sites.

Hall encourages volunteers to bring their creative skills to the sign-up meeting. He says organizers are gathering entertainment ideas and looking at dynamic ways for the RAGBRAI riders to enter Waterloo.
