Saturday
Morning
All participants must

and
loading your baggage.

for our transportation services.
When you check in you will receive all of your
registration
materials for the tour (cue sheets, maps, etc.) That way you will be able
to review them as you travel to
the start of the tour, and not having to check you in
after
you arrive will
speed the process of unloading your bike and baggage and also
checking in other participants initially arriving at the start of the event.
Hotel Baggage Delivery Service Participants Staying at the Supported Hotel in Prairie du Chien
If you are staying at the supported hotel in Prairie du Chien on Friday
night, we will not provide separate hotel baggage
delivery
service unless specifically requested. Instead, you will need to transport
your baggage yourself between the supported hotel and the main lodging
site.
Participants Staying at the Supported Hotel in Eagle River
If you are staying at the supported hotel in Eagle River, every individual
baggage item to be delivered to the supported hotel must have a Bike Wisconsin
supported hotel baggage identification tag attached to it before they
can be loaded. These tags
will be supplied in your registration materials.

baggage delivery service.
Friday Evening
Early Bike Drop Off
We will also be set up at the transportation staging point from 5:00
pm to 8:00 pm on Friday evening to load bicycles early.
Taking advantage of this service could be very convenient for you. You won't
have to deal with the hassle of transporting both your bike and your baggage
early Saturday morning and can avoid all the confusion of everyone else who
will be arriving Saturday morning. By pre-loading as many bikes as possible
beforehand, it will also help assure a much quicker departure time
for everyone from Prairie du Chien on Saturday morning.
Please note that you
can only drop off your bicycle early, not your baggage. This is because we
can store your bicycle securely locked up inside
our
truck
but
not your baggage since it will be transported underneath our coach busses.
Besides, you'll probably need your baggage Friday night anyways!
Both outdoor tent and indoor sleeping bag and air mattress camping will
be available at the Prairie du Chien main lodging site
on Friday
evening.
Long Term Parking
Long term parking for the entire tour will also be directly at the main
lodging site so you won't need to carry your bicycle or baggage very far!
