WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING ON A RAGBRAI TEAM vs. a RAGBRAI CHARTER?

CHARTERS are large groups that require lots of space.

- TEAMS are typically smaller and can use spaces from homeowners

ARE THERE LINES EVEN AT CAMP FOR KABOBS/SHOWERS?

- CHARTERS can have huge shower and toliet systems that seem to have lines more often than not.

- TEAMS typically are more personal connections with little to no lines and have more of a community vibe.

DO YOU NEED TO REGISTER FOR THE GROUP AND THE EVENT?

- NO CHARTER WILL ACCEPT ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE PARTICIPANT CREDENTIALS ISSUED BY RAGBRAI (The official identifying number is indicated on the wristband, bicycle band, and the baggage tag.)

- TEAMS you may or may not require registering with RAGBRAI (WIMPYTURTLES DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION TO RAGBRAI, BE A BANDIT IF YOU WANT)

I WANT TO JUST RIDE, DO YOU HAVE TENT VALET?

- CHARTERS typically have valet services BUT they have there own tents that you are assigned (in a sea of valets)

- TEAMS may or may not have these options
(WIMPYTURTLES has 2 Tent Valet options to pick from and we Valet your own Personal Tent, no guessing which one is yours)

WIMPYTURTLES has a cook for breakfast and dinner options to help avoid the lines. We have Power to charge, Team Showers to feel refreshed, Private Kabos at each overnight town, and a community feel. Link in BIO to apply for WIMPYTURTLES!

SEE YOU AT RAGBRAI 2024!

Hey all! Just wanted to let you all know that I’ve decided to retire from RAGBRAI, so I won’t be with you all this year. I’ve had a wonderful time riding with everyone the last 20+ years, but It’s time for me to move onto other rides and things!

I’m signing my share of the team over to Matt, David will still have the other share. Things may look a little different this year, but Matt is excited to take over and everything will be organized through him and David from now on.

I love you all, and will miss you all greatly!

Overnight stops possible thanks to RAGBRAI support crew Earlier in the week KCRG introduced one Coralville woman excited to host RAGBRAI riders on her lawn and in her home during their overnight stop tonight.

Team Wimpy CARES folks...check your emails for final information about where to meet, spots, etc. If you didn't receive an email, let me know and I'll get one out to you.
