  We have produced Bose-Einstein condensates in a ring-shaped magnetic
waveguide. The few-millimeter diameter non-zero bias ring is formed from a
time-averaged quadrupole ring. Condensates which propagate around the ring make
several revolutions within the time it takes for them to expand to fill the
ring. The ring shape is ideally suited for studies of vorticity in a
multiply-connected geometry and is promising as a rotation sensor.
