Join TEAM BRAG on our Big Trip to IOWA in 2025!
Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa
July 18-27, 2025
In 2025, BRAG is taking the largest group we've taken yet and you can be part of it all! All sleeping accommodations will be arranged and set up by BRAG. Your bags are handled with care. Coffee? Beer? We've got you covered there too!
RAGBRAI is a 7-day party on 2 wheels that takes you across the state of Iowa. Much like BRAG, the ride stops in a different town each day. It's an amazing experience you'll simultaneously share with over 30,000 other cyclists... but can be a logistical headache.
That's why BRAG is taking care of all your plans! We'll take you from Georgia all the way to Iowa to participate in RAGBRAI without any worries or too much planning on your part.
BRAG does all the heavy lifting and figuring-out-of-things. The party can start as soon you hop on the BRAG Bus in Atlanta. We take care of the logistics so that you can focus on riding bikes and having a blast with the sea of other cyclists.

Charter Packages Starting at $1000 for the Week
What else is included in the cost?
Bag Portage
You place your bags on the bus each morning, and you'll find them in your tent the following afternoon. No searching for bags for hours like with other charters.
Refreshments
Start each day off right with freshly brewed hot coffee provided by BRAG. After your ride, enjoy frosty beverages & snacks!
Free Skip Day Shuttle
Free skip-over rides on the BRAG Bus to the next town if you don't feel like riding that day. Skip-over days typically run $25 - $50 with other RAGBRAI services.
Camaraderie
We're bringing a gaggle of bike riders with us, so you'll have some instant friends to ride with on your way across Iowa!
Device Charging
BRAG provides a generator with a charging station so that you may charge your phones, bike computers, toaster, etc.
You Should Still Bring...
It's up to you to pack clothing, shoes, toiletries, sunscreen, bike stuff you may need, and your favorite blankie. There are many many fun and tasty vendors along RAGBRAI routes, so plan on purchasing any food, drinks, or merchandise you may want/need along the way. There are plenty of great blog articles out there on how much money you should budget if you need guidance.
You may bring 2 bags weighing up to 40 lbs each and 1 Bike.
Remember we are supplying the tents (or Snooze Box), air mattresses, and camping chairs so this should considerably lighten your load. Here you can find suggestions on what to pack for your personal items.
YOUR ARRIVAL
The first day when we arrive, please bear with us as we will need to set up everyone's tents and get organized. During that time you may check out the expo and get acquainted with RAGBRAI and the Iowa summer heat!
Once we all get settled there are a plethora of entertainment options that evening. The following morning is the first day of riding.
DAILY...
Please be packed up and ready to go no later than 7:15 AM. This will allow us enough time to pack up and get to the next town and set up. We need ample time to get to the next town before the rush and get a premium spot, hopefully, one in the shade!
Each day we will camp at the general RAGBRAI campgrounds, parks, or a cool spot where we fit in. We will try to get near access to shower facilities (typically there is a fee), port-a-lets, and mechanical service (usually at the daily expo).
RAGBRAI should release a map of each town prior to the ride. I will text out our exact location each day, and drop a pin so that you may find us.
You can always call or text us if need be at 678.548.1938.
Each day we must find a suitable location, so please check your phone for our location. Sometimes service is spotty so it may take a minute to find us.
RAGBRAI registration is NOT included!
Their system prevents us from registering for you. You must register for each day you plan to ride at https://ragbrai.com/ or onsite once you get there. Showers, Meals, Bike parts, tubes, or tires are also not included.
OTHER ITEMS...
You will be responsible for your food, showers, mechanical needs, SAG through RAGBRAI, route finding etc. RAGBRAI is an adventure and finding your way is part of the journey!
