Meal Plan Option
Breakfasts and dinners are on your own, unless you purchase the Meal Plan option The Meal Plan option, (sold as a package), are healthy, plentiful, and convenient breakfasts and dinners, served at the overnight schools. You can choose all the meals, breakfast only, or dinner only plans.
These meals are hosted by local school and community groups and caterers which help raise funds for valuable school and community projects. By pre-purchasing a Meal Plan you help the groups properly estimate meals and avoid waste. The first meal served is usually breakfast on the first day of biking, and the last meal is usually breakfast on last day of biking. A vegetarian option is always available; please indicate your choice when you register.

Motorcoach and Bike Transport Option
At at the beginning of GRABAAWR®, SAGBRAW™ and the Bike Northwoods tour there will be a motorcoach and bike transport option available. The motorcoach and bike transport is chosen by most riders. We will take you and your bike from the tour staging area to the start of the tour. Our system does not require boxing your bike. The bikes are transported in moving vans by professional movers and protected in transit by moving blankets. More info will be provided in the Spring Pre-Ride Newsletter.
"Appreciate care taken with bikes - very well organized. We had a long trip in (from PA) - it was nice to feel relaxed the moment bike and group were aboard transit to Eagle River".

Rider Services
Rider Services Towel Service Option
When you receive the towel service you'll get a large clean bath towel, (24 inches by 42 inches), and a small clean wash cloth each day. The towel service is hosted by local school and community groups which help raise funds for valuable school and community projects. This optional service is available to anyone who has ever pulled a smelly, stinky, damp towel from their bag and thought, ‘there must be a better way’. The better way is to sign up for this service, and trade those dirty towels for fresh, clean towels each day. It's that easy!
"Definitely take the towel service-it’s worth it,” George B. Merrill WI
Rider Services Tent Service Option
Are you tired of setting up, taking down and packing up your tent everyday? Let us do it for you! We have three tent sizes available: Single (7'x7') big enough for a single mattress, Double (8'6"x 7'6") big enough for a double mattress or Jumbo (9'x9') with 6-ft headroom and big enough for a double mattress and then some. You'll need to bring your own mattress or pad. The tent service is hosted by local school and community groups which help raise funds for valuable school and community projects. Included with the Tent Service is a cozy camp chair, the towel service and complementary morning Fair Trade coffee for the entire week. We will also move your luggage each day in a separate vehicle. When you arrive at the next overnight location, you may relax – the worries and work of tent camping have been taken care of for you.
"The tent service was very nice and convenient. Nice to just leave your stuff in the morning and have it all setup and waiting for you at the next stop in the afternoon," Jeanette M. Blue Mounds WI
