Luggage delivery at tent city
Bike Virginia will transport your camping luggage to the next Headquarters location on moving day. You will bring your luggage to the Luggage Truck at the camping area on move day before 8:00 am. Host Town assistants will load your bag onto the trailer. Then you will hit the road to enjoy the tour. When you arrive at Headquarters 2 in the next town, your luggage will be there waiting. Campers are limited to 2 duffel bags that weigh no more than 50lbs each.
At check-in, you will be provided a camping luggage tag kit. One might ask how we coordinate so many bags. Luggage will be sorted into rows when it is unloaded. The row assignment is based on the color of your Bike Virginia luggage tag. So as long as you know your tag color, you’ll know which row your luggage is in.
Camping cyclists are allowed to bring TWO bags weighing no more than 50lbs each 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.
Volunteers will be handling your luggage for you. Please be kind to our luggage crews. Creative packing is a win-win situation for all.
