What Is An Early-Finish Shuttle?
These shuttles allow riders to leave camp in the morning, cycle approximately half of their daily mileage, and then meet up with our crew, load their bikes, and board a coach for a lift to our campsite or staging area in the next overnight town. In short, you ride half the day and have more time in the overnight town. If you're feeling a little unsure about the more challenging days of RAGBRAI 2025, consider using our early-finish shuttles.
Tuesday and Saturday, 7/22 and 7/26
For these shuttles, we have chosen the two days that we've heard the most concern about: Tuesday with 74 cycling miles, and the last Saturday, with 62 quite-hilly miles.
Shuttles ONLY for Those on PBV Support
These shuttles are available only for those on our Weeklong Support or Partial-Week Support.
Shuttle Pricing
We're glad we didn't try to guess at our expenses, because the bus prices came in on the high end. The shuttle prices will be $60 per person, including bike transport.
Further Planning Ahead
We'll spare you the details, but the result of this planning will be exact mileage that you will ride each day (approximately half of each day), and a precise location along your route where you will find our shuttle operation. We'll send maps of these locations. You can sign up now, and we'll be sending more detail later on.
How to Sign Up
Each of you may login to your PBV account, click EDIT beside your name, and select one or both of the Early-Finish Shuttles. Don't forget to scroll down and SAVE your changes. If you like, you can make your payment by credit card, incurring the processing fee. Or you can mail a check for your balance. We're working to offer more extras as soon as we can, and we can let these small balances ride for a little while, if you want to wait and pay for everything in one go. (Large balances should have been settled by May 15.)
