Here for the overall policies
and procedures that will apply to our RAGBRAI
transportation service from the end of
RAGBRAI to Chicago.

Long
Term Parking
Our first stop in Chicago will be at the parking garage which is directly on
the way to the Chicago hotel and not many people will depart
there.
If you parked
your
car
long term it
will be much more convenient to get dropped off there to get it
instead of going all
the
way
back
from the Chicago
hotel. You will then need to
drive
over to the
Chicago hotel to pick
up your
baggage
and your bike (if applicable). You must pre-register
to get dropped off
at the parking garage,
otherwise we will drop you off at the Chicago hotel.
We will only drop off people at the parking garage
and not any baggage. Doing so allows us a significantly
faster departure time from the RAGBRAI ending town
because we won't need to segregate baggage
to be dropped off at the parking garage and also
a faster arrival time at the Chicago hotel because
we won't need to unload baggage at the
parking garage.

the Chicago parking garage.
Coach
Bus Staging Point
After we have dropped off people at the parking
garage we will drop off all remaining people and
bagagge at the Chicago hotel.

the coach bus staging point at the Chicago
hotel.
Premium
Bicycle Transportation Service
We will drop off all bicycles transported
as part of our premium bicycle transportation service
directly at the Chicago hotel. You
will almost definitely need to wait for our bicycle
moving trucks to arrive after the coach busses, and
the Chicago hotel will be a nice place
to do so.

our premium bicycle transportation services.
Departure
Using Local Public Transportation
Most (but not all) trains and busses
will still depart Chicago after our latest possible
actual arrival time (particularly for RAGBRAI ending
towns further away from Chicago), including the walking
time
from the Chicago hotel to the train station and you
should make your individual travel plans accordingly.
