John:
Typically we tarp the bikes and secure them with a lock. We do this around 9:00 p.m. If you don't get their bike under the tarp there are some alternatives. Some people keep their bikes in their tent; some use their own locks. You will be able to put your bike in the bus this year, but it will not be locked. Most of our over night locations are at private homes, so that is a somewhat more secure situation, also. .Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi folks, I am really looking forward to riding with all of you on Ragbrai. I had a question about bike security at night. Do you lock the bikes up in one place, or is everyone kind of on their own? I ask because I understand that bike theft is a problem on the ride, and I would like to bring my favorite bike, but if it is a situation where I am going to have to always keep an eye on it and worry about the bike the whole time, then I would just as soon bring something else that I won't care too much about if it is stolen or damaged, etc.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
