Luggage

Campers

Bike Virginia will transport your luggage to the next Tent City on moving day. You will bring your luggage to the luggage truck at Tent City each morning before 8:00 am. Host Town assistants will load your bag onto the trailer. You will pick up your bag at Tent City in the next town. Luggage will be sorted into four piles based on the COLOR of your Bike Virginia luggage tag.

Hotelers

If you are staying in a designated Bike Virginia hotel, your luggage will be shuttled to and from each Host Town by the hotel luggage truck. Only designated Bike Virginia Hotels are eligible for this special delivery and pick-up. All other luggage (bed & breakfasts, inns and non-designated hotels) is your responsibility. When you leave your hotel, you will simply bring your luggage to the designated pick-up area at the hotel. All luggage must be at this area before 7:30 am. We will transport it to the next town and again to your specific hotel. Be sure to write the name of your hotels on the special WHITE Luggage tag. The cost of this service for the entire week is $30.

Luggage Limits

• Campers
  Those cyclists camping each night are allowed to bring TWO bags for the week. Generally, one will contain your clothes and one will contain your camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, etc). Separate tent poles and other individual items will not be transported between towns. Remember: no cooking equipment is allowed in Tent City. If you are camping with a friend, maybe you can limit your bags to three by sharing your camping bag. Trash cans, plastic bins, etc will not be allowed.
  
• Hotelers
  Those staying in hotels should only have ONE hard suitcase or soft bag. Black tie attire is not required for the downtown nightly parties! Please plan out what you really need and pack lightly.
  
• Everyone
  Do not bring several small bags. The limits above must apply to everyone. Your small personal bag is your bike bag. Remember that someone in each town is handling your luggage for you. Be kind to our luggage crews. Creative packing is a win-win situation for all.

Do not tie things to the outside of your bag, such as lawn chairs, coolers, tents, etc. Do not bring framed back packs or luggage buggies with wheels which could damage other cyclists’ luggage. Do not use plastic bags to stow gear or luggage.

One white luggage tag will be issued to hotelers and two each of color luggage tags for campers. If you are camping some nights and staying in a hotel others, you will need both white and colored tags. You will also need to purchase the hotel luggage service.

Pets are not allowed on Bike Virginia.
