Checking in to our transportation
service before the start of RAGBRAI will not
automatically check you in after the end of RAGBRAI
for our transportation service - you will need
to check in both times.

People and Baggage
The
check in process for people and baggage
will consist of you loading your baggage onto
the baggage compartments underneath the coach bus and
boarding our vehicles. The final
head count on board the bus will serve as your official
check in.
Bicycles
The check in process for your bicycle will consist
of attaching our identification tags to it, preparing
it for transportation, and loading it onto one of
our bicycle moving trucks.
When you check in your bike we will attach
identification tags to both your bicycle
frame and also
your front wheel. These tags will be color coded
to quickly and easily identify your drop off
location
in the
RAGBRAI
starting town and when you will pick up your bike in
Chicago after the end of RAGBRAI. They will have
your name, cell phone number, and drop off and/or
pick
up location and/or time information. These
tags will be supplied in your registration materials
based
on
information you provided to us when you registered
and will
significantly assist us properly staging and
loading bicycles in the proper order and as well
identifying
which
bikes should and shouldn't be
loaded amid the the throng of other bicycles and
baggage, particularly in the RAGBRAI ending town.
These tags must be attached around a permanent
part of your bike where they will not come off (such
as your frame) and
not something removable
such as your wheels or saddle bag since we may require
you to remove these anyways as part of preparing
your bike for transport.

Before they can be loaded, every bicycle
must have a pre-printed
Bicycle Illinois identification tag attached to it.
No bicycles
will be loaded without an appropriate
identification
tag attached. These tags are very secure and will not
come off in transit, and we will need to clip them
off your bike with wire clippers after you and your
bike are reunited at your destination.
We will not require identification tags for people
or their baggage. Participants themselves
won't need to wear an identification tag on their
wrist which will increase your comfort while riding.
Instead you can just tell us
if you belong with us and we will also
identify
you during our final head count before
departing. We also will not require identification
tags for your baggage because you will
be loading your own baggage yourself onto the coach
bus which you can easily identify yourself.
