Baggage Transportation
Participants will carry their baggage with them directly aboard all trains and busses.

Bicycle Transportation
We will transport all bicycles ourselves on a separate moving truck.

Identification Tags
Before they can be loaded after the end of the event, every bicycle to be transported must have two separate identification tags attached. These tags will be supplied in your registration materials and will significantly help identify which bikes should be loaded amid the the throng of other bicycles at the central rest stop location that shouldn't be loaded after the end of the event. Identification tags will not be required for any bicycle that we are not transporting from Champaign to Chicago after the end of the event.

We require two separate tags in case one comes off in transit and the tags should be placed as far apart from each other as possible to minimize the chance that both would come off at the same time. If you are initially meeting us in Chicago, we require that the tags are attached there to prevent individual loose tags from getting lost or forgotten in a piece luggage buried at the bottom of a pile at the end of the event.

It will be your responsibility to make sure that your bike has the appropriate two required baggage delivery tags on it. If a tag comes off in transit or during the event simply let a staff member know and we will give you a new one.
