Services Registration
As an official RAGBRAI charter service, our transportation
service is only available to officially registered
participants of RAGBRAI. Unfortunately we cannot allow
anyone to travel with us who does not have an official
RAGBRAI wristband number.
Registering for our transportation
service does not automatically register you to participate
in RAGBRAI
itself or Pork Belly Ventures or any other charter
service, and registering to participate in RAGBRAI
or for Pork Belly Ventures or any other charter service
does not automatically register you for our transportation
service. You must register and pay for our transportation
service, RAGBRAI itself, and Pork Belly Ventures or
any other charter service separately on your own. We
strongly recommend registering for everything at the
same time and as early as possible.

Arrival Deadline
and Departure Times
We will not have set departure times. Instead,
we have set arrival deadline times when all participants must have arrived
at our transportation staging points with their bike and baggage ready to be
loaded.
If
you
have
not
arrived
at
our transportation staging point by the time we are ready to leave (as quickly
or
as long as that
is after the arrival deadline time)
we cannot
wait
for
you.
We will keep consistent arrival deadline times in
Chicago before the start of RAGBRAI and at the RAGBRAI
ending town.
Accordingly, our actual arrival times at the RAGBRAI
starting town of and back in Chicago after the end
of RAGBRAI will vary each year based on the actual
towns
that
are selected as the start and end of RAGBRAI.
Event
Communications
Cell phone reception during RAGBRAI can be unreliable because the cell phone
towers serving the towns RAGBRAI passes through can be overwhelmed, particularly
the overnight towns. If you need to contact us, it is best to plan on making
calls during the day when you are on the road. Also, a text message is much
more likely to go through than a phone call.

our event communications policies.
Bicycle
Illinois Merchandise

Bicycle Illinois t-shirt is included in registration.

baseball hats and extra t-shirts can all be ordered
before the event.
