Baggage Guidelines

• Fill out and attach your official RSVP bag tag / bag waiver to your bag before placing it on the truck.
• One bag per rider.
• All baggage loads onto the same truck. Bags are sorted by bag color, so consider using a non-black bag for easier pickup.
• Cascade Bicycle Club is not responsible for any damaged, lost, or stolen luggage. Do not pack valuables.
• Waterproof bags are recommended or pack your belongings in plastic bags for protection from possible rain. The PNW always has a 30% chance of rain!
• Panniers and backpacks work great if you will be transporting your bag to a different hotel by bike. Pack light!
