William Mugan replied to the topic Friday Night in LeMars in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year ago
Yes, most of the campgrounds are open on Friday night and a few vendors may even be open.
I usually arrive on Friday myself. Everything is set up, but it is pretty quiet.
Good luck.
William Mugan replied to the topic Need SAG Vehicle Pass for the Week in the forum RAGBRAI XLVIII – 2021 1 year ago
Hello,
I think that what you are looking for is a “Vehicle Pass.” They are available at the time of registration. See FAQ link where the subject is discussed:
At this point the best approach is to try to buy one second-hand from someone who has to cancel. Although they are somewhat hard to find.
Good luck.

Hello Uncle Kraig,
By the “free truck” it is meant that you do not pay any additional fees to use the RAGBRAI truck after your registration fee of $175 for the week.
Good luck.

William Mugan replied to the topic Possible to drop bags off on Satuday? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 11 months ago
Hello,
I believe that they will not start accepting bags until about 5:00 AM Sunday morning.
At that point they will weigh your bag (50 pound limit) and you must carry it on the truck yourself.
Good luck.

William Mugan replied to the topic baggage truck in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 11 months ago
Hello,
The Register’s baggage truck is always located in the “main” campground. In Council Bluffs the “main” campground is located on the SE corner of 23rd Ave and Horseshoe Blvd.
It leaves at 8:00 AM everyday.
Good luck.
William Mugan replied to the topic Overnight Town Maps in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 2 years, 12 months ago
Hello,
It seems like most towns do not post the official town maps until about 10 days before the start of the ride.
Good luck.
William Mugan replied to the topic Max bag size for official luggage transport? in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 3 years ago
Hello,
I’ve never seen them weight any bag after the first day or two.
Just be sure that your bag has a tag that matches your wrist band number so that your can retrieve your bag at the end of the day 😀

William Mugan replied to the topic Bike Getting Wet Question in the forum RAGBRAI XLVI – 2018 4 years, 1 month ago
I don’t do anything. The bike sits outside in the rain or dew.
If the seat is wet in the morning, I just wipe it off with my gloved hand and go.
Enjoy your ride.

Paul Lamers,
One of the best kept secrets on RAGBRAI is the use of local libraries. They usually have free WiFi and places to charge your phone.
Additionally, they are quiet and usually have air conditioning. This is true for the pass-through towns and the overnight towns.
Good luck.
William Mugan replied to the topic in the forum Washington State riders…contact me ;) 4 years, 11 months ago
The final maps, including the overnight town’s maps with campsites, are generally posted about two weeks before the start of the ride.
Good luck.

William Mugan replied to the topic Trike or Bike for my aching neck? in the forum RAGBRAI XLV – 2017 5 years ago
Linda Wiard-Bauer,
You didn’t say what part of your neck hurts, but if it is the back of your neck, it is probably sore from holding your head & helmet up.
If so, the solution is simple, just raise your handlebars. It will make a big difference. You may have to go to a bike shop for assistance.
Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.
