RAGBRAI LII Charter service july 19, 2025
The Quad Cities RAGBRAI Charter Service is presented by the Quad Cities Bicycle Club and available for all cyclists needing transportation and/or camping services with the longest standing RAGBRAI charter provider. We are a RAGBRAI Legacy Charter and the only charter to service all fifty-one (51) previous events. You do not have to be a member of our bike club to join our charter. Our fees are the same for both club members and non-members.
We will be providing our Full Service RAGBRAI Charter once again in 2025, which includes FREE weeklong parking at our Quad Cities Headquarters, Bus Out from Bettendorf to the Orange City on Saturday July 19th, enjoy our award-winning weeklong camp/baggage support then Bus Back service from the Guttenberg to the Quad Cities on Saturday July 26th.
Our 2025 Charter Registration opens November 15th. You must be an official TAG applicant in order to use any of our charter services. Paid in Full reservations are being accepted with proof of your wristband purchase. If you have yet to receive your weeklong TAG number when you register with us, you will need to forward that information after obtaining your official notification from RAGBRAI on or about June 01. There are no exceptions, you must be registered with RAGBRAI.
The Quad Cities Bicycle Club Charter provides quiet/family friendly campsites. Our reserved settlements for the week include onsite shower service (exclusive for our camp) with your charter selection, complimentary non-alcoholic cold beverages, several multi-tier charging stations, floor pumps, basic tools and our own private, portable flush toilets in-camp at each overnight location.
Our charter members and guests are far from being local. During recent trips across Iowa, we hosted cyclists from forty-one (41) different states, providences and territories including Washington D.C. and Canada. We will limit our camp to a maximum of 250 cyclists.
Entering our 52nd year as weeklong hosts, the Quad Cities Charter Service will once again begin and end in the Bettendorf -Quad Cities. Leave your vehicle in our local complimentary parking area and enjoy your “car free” vacation knowing you do not have to hassle with paying for parking at either the beginning or ending towns. We’ll then transport you and your gear back to the Quad Cities where you will have your choice of three (3) interstates to take you back home. If you are flying in, arrange your flights with our own Quad City International Airport (MLI).
If you’re embarking on your first weeklong cycling tour, it is best to use an experienced charter service so why not let us handle the daily details for you? We’ll provide this service for you at costs below your budget. If you are joining us alone or with a group, you will feel welcome in our charter knowing that our veteran crew and cyclists will be looking out for you. Through our own unique wrist bands, you’ll be able to recognize fellow QCBC charter guests out on the road, always willing to lend a hand, inner tube or a smile to make your vacation with us a calendar event for years to come.
Welcome all front-line heroes, first responders, veteran and active military personnel - THANK YOU for your service.
