A good pre-read for the 2025 season!
Dear Friends,
We hope this update finds you restful, enjoying the holidays, being cozy at home, and beginning to think about next year's summer adventures. Please know that we at Pork Belly Ventures would love to be part of your 2025 cycling season. Below is a condensed version of our update that went out in November, outlining some important dates for the upcoming RAGBRAI. The full version can be read HERE.

January 1, Wednesday, Pork Belly Ventures will open registration for our Weeklong Support (for riders, for non-riders, and for children under age 13), as well as our Optional Rental Tent Service. This year, the tent service did sell out pretty early, but our support was available throughout the season. Every year is a new ballgame, folks, but we don't anticipate an early or sudden sell-out of any service this coming year.
January 25, Saturday, the 2025 route of RAGBRAI will be announced. For months now, our Ride Director Matt Phippen has been working on the route and communicating with the overnight and pass-through towns. We will learn the route at the big announcement party in Des Moines in late January! The announcement of the route could possibly bring on a rush of registrations to PBV--we just can't predict. Hopefully, we will see you in Des Moines at the Bike Expo, Bike Banquet, or Route Announcement Party!
Shortly after January 25, when we know the route, PBV will publish shuttle pricing and open shuttle registration. We must know the distances of our shuttles before we can price them. So do bear in mind, if you sign up for support in early January, you may need to login later to add whatever shuttles you need. We offer three shuttles before RAGBRAI (two from airport hotels), three shuttles after RAGBRAI (returning to airport hotels or to the airport itself), and even a few shuttles during RAGBRAI, when partial-week riders need to enter or exit the ride.
