Roundtrip gear check is included with your registration. Check your bags at one of our gear check events. Two bags per rider. Our gear check trucks will deliver checked bags Friday afternoon to participating hotels, inns, and campsites in advance of your arrival.

On Saturday morning, we will pick up your bags from your hotel, inn, or campsite, and deliver them to the end-of-ride barbecue at City Beach, New Buffalo, MI for your afternoon use and recovery.

If you sign-up for our bus ride back option and we'll carry your bags and bike back to Chicago Millennium Park or Forest Park, IL. Each bike is wrapped in a moving blanket, stowed upright, and nested snugly in a neat row inside a 24’ box truck. Your truck will follow your bus.
