Pork Belly Update-2026 Maps

Drumroll please...

Included below are the two best ways to find Pork Camp each day!

• PBV Rider Maps of the Overnight Towns
• Ride With GPS (RWGPS) for voice navigation and offline maps

We urge you to take a good look at these now, download them, save them to your phone, print them if you'd like, and prepare yourself for the likelihood that you won't have any cell signal while you're trying to find our camp each day.

The PBV Rider Maps

Huge thanks to our marvelous Pork Cartographer, Bob Rebach!

If you were lucky, you got to meet Bob on RAGBRAI last year, or with us on BRAN earlier this year.

Here are your 2026 maps of eight overnight towns (2 maps for Dubuque - one for the beginning and one for the end), with the locations of Pork Belly Ventures campsites, rider routes to and from camp, shuttle routes, and other places of interest around each town!

Please note the QR Codes on these maps. They will take you directly to the RWGPS files, next topic.

Thanks for your great work, Bob!

Ride With GPS (RWGPS)

With the change last year that groups were no longer permitted to put up signs in overnight towns, we launched into the 21st century and got set up with Ride With GPS, thanks to Dan Leinbach. PBV now has a RWGPS option, where you can subscribe to Dan's "My Bike Nav" Tour Operator account, which you can follow for free. We offer our thanks to a long-time PBV rider, Dan Leinbach, pictured in his PBV jersey below. This year, Dan even enlisted the help of his daughter for an instructional video! We urge you to sign up for a RWGPS account now, if you don't already have one, and download these maps ahead of time. Don't wait until RAGBRAI, when everyone else is trying to do the same thing!

Thanks for your great work, Dan & Callie!

Other Important Tips for RAGBRAI Orientation

(Besides downloading, saving, and printing your

PBV Rider Maps and RWGPS Files)

Find and Follow Someone with RWGPS: We hope there will be a lot of good citizens out there this year, tech savvy folks who will lead others to camp.

Our Maps: At your last stop of the day, pull up a photo of our map (or carry a copy). Remember your first turn upon entering the overnight town. You may have to pull over a couple times for safety, but your map will guide you to camp. Shortly, possibly as soon as this evening, the app will be updated with the new maps!

Our Locations Card: Everyone who spends the week with PBV receives the durable locations card, with a zip-tie. You may wish to zip-tie your card to your handlebars or top tube. The locations card provides you with the name and address of every campsite, and a suggestion that you "Ask a Local: Where is the water tower?" The locations card is our old-fashioned, lowest-tech tool for finding Pork Camp, but you may find it useful in a pinch!

The RAGBRAI Route Maps: With mileage and elevation for each day, download the RAGBRAI Route Maps so you know how far until your next ear of sweet corn.

The Overnight Town Maps: If you want to find out how far it is from Pork Camp to Downtown, or where the swimming pool is, or where the shuttle route goes - download the overnight town maps on RAGBRAI's website, linked below. We'll also have a copy at our Front Desk.

Both the RAGBRAI Route Maps (plus Gravel and Loop Routes) and the Overnight Town Maps can be found on RAGBRAI's website, by clicking on each day and then scrolling down to the map you're looking for.

Early-Finish Shuttle Location

With such a short year, we only have one EFS this year - Thursday in Reinbeck. If you registered for this Early Finish Shuttle you can find PBV's coach and bike trailer at Corteva Agriscience, 110 E. Hwy. 175, Reinbeck. It will be just on the south side of Hwy. 175 on the east end of town, just as you are leaving. Departure time is Noon, so please arrive 30 minutes early for bike loading. If you're feeling fine on Thursday and don't need the EFS - drop us a note at info@pkbelly.com or stop by and let someone know, if possible, so we aren't worried about you!

A few very important reminders...

Account Balances

Just a friendly reminder that your account balances were due in full by May 15th. You may pay your balance via credit card by logging into your pkbelly.com account. We're really getting too late to think about mailing a check. If you arrive at RAGBRAI and have a balance due - you must pay with cash, we cannot accept checks and do not have a card processor on site. If you have an outstanding balance please help us out and write to us with your intentions at info@pkbelly.com. Thanks!

Cancellation Deadlines

We remind you of our Cancellation Policy and Refund Deadline, so that there's no misunderstanding. June 15th was the last day to cancel and get a 90% refund, for any reason, if you did not choose the cancellation protection. From here on out, we don't make any refunds, unless you took our cancellation protection when you initially registered. If so - then you have extended your 90% refund to Wednesday, July 15th at 10:00 PM CST. If you have our protection and cancel by email by 10:00 PM on July 15th, we will make a 90% refund by check (mailed to you after RAGBRAI). After July 15th at 10:00 PM, we're sorry, we cannot make any refunds in any instances.

If you need to cancel services: Please send us an email!

Simply write to us at info@pkbelly.com. If you're due a refund, you can include your mailing address in the text of the email. An email establishes the date of your cancellation. It makes it possible for us to look you up by name, or if the name is very common, we can look you up by email address. And it allows us to copy members of our team on the reply and keep everyone in the loop. We are scouting and traveling to other events between now and RAGBRAI, and we don't promise that we will receive voice messages. Email is the way to cancel some or all services on your registration.

Do not go into your registration form and remove all services, please. This complicates the process on our end, causing us to search for confirmation emails and reconstruct your registration to determine whether a refund is due and the amount. Simply write us an email, and we'll take it from there.

Read The June Letter!

We have published The June Letter, a comprehensive guide to your RAGBRAI experience with PBV - whether you're joining us for just a shuttle or the entire Weeklong Service. This is a long document, but we have made each chapter available to download individually, and we ask you to please read the parts that apply to you so we're all on the same page! You can always email us at info@pkbelly.com with questions, but please do your best to look for the answer first as we get close to the beginning of RAGBRAI and our time is spread more thinly.

We'll be in touch when we have more news to share, friends!

Cheers, from all of us here at Pork Belly Ventures!
