Have you contacted Back Pocket to see if they know the name of the porta potty company? That’s where I would start.

The overnight towns changed so that affected pass through towns.

All the overnight town maps are on RAGBRAI’s website.

I agree with the other posters. It is not your team captain’s responsibility to make sure you have read through everything. That is 100% on you. It’s very clear in the RAG RAI materials that there is an actual wristband and the wristband is sent to the team captain. If you did not read that when you registered, that is not your team captain’s fault.

I grew up in Aurelia and I am excited to see this!!!
I know Aurelia has a great bakery that will be open for RAGBRAI.
hnschipper replied to the topic route maps with distances between pass through towns in the forum Miscellaneous 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Those maps at the Expo are print outs of the maps that RAGBRAI had always provided on the past (and are not available yet, so who knows if we will get them.) If RAGBRAI doesn’t make them available, I doubt the hospital association will have them available (unless they decide to create their own and not use the maps provided by RAGBRAI as they h…[Read more]

An armadillo. I live in the Kansas City area and they really aren’t common here. Only armadillo I’ve ever seen here is a dead one.
hnschipper replied to the topic When are the packets being mailed? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 1 week ago
The info is here on RAGBRAI’s website, in the general information section: all packets will be mailed by July 1. It’s only June 24.
hnschipper replied to the topic When are the packets being mailed? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 1 week ago
They just started sending them out last week. There are over 10,000 registered riders. That’s a lot of packets to send. This is normal timing. We usually don’t get our packets until late June.
hnschipper replied to the topic RV/Vehicle Pass Needed – purchase at Expo? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 2 weeks ago
You are the only person I have ever seen post about buying a vehicle pass at the Expo. If it is something you can do, it is a well-kept secret.
hnschipper replied to the topic Desperately Seeking RV/Vehicle Pass in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I have never heard of or seen vehicle passes being sold at the Expo. If that is a thing now, it’s new.
hnschipper replied to the topic Wristband Mailing Schedule? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 2 weeks ago
In the podcast about day 7 of the pre-ride, Andrea Parrott mentioned that RAGBRAI staff at the offices were stuffing packets last week, so I imagine they’ll go out in the near future.
hnschipper replied to the topic Access to power ? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 3 weeks ago
If you are staying in the main campgrounds, I wouldn’t count on any access to power. Some charters do provide charging stations.
hnschipper replied to the topic 2021 Gravel Day Route: Actual Gravel or Beach Sand (like 2018)? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 3 weeks ago
I’ll add to that they only talk about the first half of the gravel route because they did not ride the second half on the pre-ride. They skipped the second half for Mr. Pork Chop (who was on the regular route.)
hnschipper replied to the topic Arrival times in Le Mars? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 3 weeks ago
There is no check in. Just show up. There is no deadline for showing up. Just know that if you show up late at night and you’re trying to find a campsite/set up camp while all of your campsite neighbors are sleeping, you’re going to be pretty unpopular. :)

I agree Sandaltan. Those on regular bikes should behave themselves as well.
hnschipper replied to the topic Need 2 Riders or More to Form Team in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 month, 4 weeks ago
The vehicle pass registration was part of the regular registration process. It isn’t separate.
hnschipper replied to the topic Travel in the forum Miscellaneous 1 month, 4 weeks ago
I think many of the charters that provide transportation from Clinton to LeMars do so at the start of the ride – park your car in Clinton before the start of RAGBRAI and shuttle to LeMars and rode back to your car. I’m not sure if any of them provide transport at the end of the ride.
hnschipper replied to the topic Let's talk gravel day in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 2 months ago
Ken, RAGBRAI announced today that the pre-ride starts tomorrow. I thought it was odd there was mention of this leading up to the pre-ride.
