Our
transportation service is available only to officially registered participants
of RAGBRAI. Unfortunately we cannot allow anyone to join us who does not
have an official RAGBRAI
rider 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.

Initial
Deposits
Registration for RAGBRAI is now a first-come, first-served
basis and no longer utilizes a lottery system. Accordingly, before the
RAGBRAI route and our full price schedule is announced we accept
registrations on an initial deposit basis. This way you can be guaranteed
a spot on our transportation service immediately after you initially register
for RAGBRAI itself and guarantee your personal
plans
as appropriate.
After our Full Price Schedule is Announced
After our full price schedule
is announced, you must remit any remaining amount due by 11:59 pm CST
March 15.
Or, if you decide that the full price
for our transportation service is more than you are willing to pay, we can
issue you a refund of your registration fees minus an administrative fee
of
$50.00 if you submit your refund request by 11:59 pm CST
March 15. Please note that if
we have reached our registration limits and have a waiting list when
you cancel, we will immediately offer your seat to another participant
on our waiting list and another one may not be available in the future.
If you do not remit the remaining
amount due or submit your refund request by 11:59 pm CST
March 15 we will cancel your registration and seat reservation
and you will forfeit your entire deposit.

After our full price schedule is announced all new registrations must
pay the full registration amount and we will no longer accept any registrations
on a deposit basis.
Drop
Off Location at the Start of RAGBRAI
You must let us know if you want us to drop you off at at our
transportation staging point or at the Pork Belly
Ventures camping location
at the start of RAGBRAI so
that we can properly
load
bikes and baggage in Chicago.
If you register for our transportation service before these locations
have been determined and don't know which location you want use, we will
follow up with you after they are determined. Otherwise we
will need to assume that you will want to be dropped off at our transportation
staging point.

loading in Chicago before the start of RAGBRAI.
Registration Limits
Our registration limit for both transportation
services is 56 people, the capacity of a standard charter coach bus.
Once
we reach our registration limits we will maintain a
waiting list. If enough people are on the waiting list we will
charter
an additional
coach bus.

Here for more information about our waiting list policy.
Non-Upright
Bicycle Fee
There will be an additional
fee to transport non-upright bikes such as recumbents and tandems. However,
there will not be an additional charge to transport a tandem bicycle if both
people riding it also both register
for
the same transportation
services. Trikes (any bicycle
with three or more wheels) are
not allowed because we cannot
easily and quickly transport them in any support vehicle.

Here for more information about transporting non-upright bicycles.
Regular
Registration Deadline and Late Registration
The regular registration deadline for all RAGBRAI transportation
services will be at 11:59 pm CST, Friday June 25th,
2021, which is
exactly one month before the start of RAGBRAI.
After the regular registration deadline a late fee of $25.00 each
way for
our transportation service will be assessed.

Force Majure
In the event we are completely unable to run an event due to circumstances
beyond our control your registration will be honored as a credit toward any
future Bicycle Illinois and Bike Wisconsin event, service, or merchandise
item that will never expire.
Travel Insurance
If you do not participate and would like a refund you
MUST purchase an individual travel insurance plan, which will reimburse
you according to the plan coverage. Many plans are very reasonably priced.
As part of your initial online registration you will have the option to
purchase an individual travel insurance plan offered through RegShield.
This plan must be purchased as part of your initial online registration
- it cannot be added later.
If do not purchase the RegShield plan online or register using the paper
registration form you can still purchase an individual travel insurance
plan. Click
