I don't know if they're looking for more riders. I'll ask my brother, but I think most of them know each other and train together (I'm the outsider).

Dave: Do you know their cost and if they're looking for more riders? I'm looking around on behalf of 3-5 riders including myself. We are going to likely be on the Illinois Charter too but then need a group for the weeklong sag.

I'm riding, but with my brother's team (The Lizard Kings, based out of Cedar Rapids). I'm hoping to take the Bicycle Illinois charter out there. This'll be my first Ragbrai, and I'm really excited for it!

There are some very inexpensive ways of doing the ride.

I would love to do it, but it's a costly ride when you add everything up.

I will be doing some less expensive rides this year.

Day 0: Drive to the town you want to end in.

Day 1: Ride to the previous town and camp with the incoming riders.

Day 2: Ride to your vehicle and drive home.

I'd love to ride a couple of days but I probably couldn't make the entire ride due to the time commitment required. Has anyone done the ride solo and/or just a couple days of riding. I'm wondering if it would be worth the drive out there, coordinating sleeping, and getting a ride back to only ride a couple days.

Also planning to ride and take the Bicycle Illinois charter out and back. I'm registered with a group but we don't have our own SAG support or anything, just going with the RAGBRAI camping & luggage services.

I think this was just too simple for me to think of. That would make a lot of sense
