Common Questions
Bags pickup begins each day at 7am from the front desk of your motel.
We are not affiliated with BRAG, so please call us directly with any questions at 707-623-7035. BRAG personnel do not know the details of our service.
Campsite bags will be held until we can connect for direct drop off.
We attempt to put our camp sign near BRAG HQ each day in a place where cars can't park in front of it. However, riders are expected to LOOK for the sign without bothering BRAG personnel.
Bags will be delivered to your next location as soon as possible.
Bags NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE near the front office of your motel by 7am may be left behind. We are not responsible for returning to the previous town to retrieve your bag(s). It is your responsibility to have your bags in the right place at the right time with the right tags.
Maximum weight is 40 pounds per bag. NO EXCEPTIONS. Please weigh your bag(s); we will.
Bags that are overweight or not clearly marked will be kept with the black dog for you to retrieve. If the bag is not within limit for the following pickup it will be left behind.
Delivery window - we aim to deliver the bags between 11am and 2pm. Properly tagged bags make this possible.
COMMUNICATION - Please call us or leave a large note on your bag if your schedule or number of bags changes at any time. You can also double up with a call to Jessica at 707-623-7035 to confirm the change.
BRAG LITE - riders may join the ride late or leave early. Please be sure to note when and where first pickup and last drop off will occur. Please include "FINAL DROP" on your last bag tag.
We can not transport people or bikes in our vehicle. Your motel may provide a shuttle service around town.
Thank you for taking the time to read these instructions so we can make this experience the easiest way to BRAG.
New QUESTIONS
Questions asked will be answered via direct email. We may also add the question and answer here to help clarify any aspect of our service for all of our customers. Thank you for taking the time to make sure we can deliver the best experience every year.
BRAG has different luggage weight requirements?
We require all bags to weigh in at or under 40 pounds while BRAG has different regulations for the big truck.
Where do I drop my bags?
Day 1: Collect your luggage tags from the hotel front desk or directly from Black Dog Luggage. We’ve let them know about our service and they have our contact info.
Following days: please leave your bags in the same place I've dropped them off unless otherwise directed by hotel staff.
End of Ride
I will try to get parking as close as possible to any obvious BRAG markers and be as visible as possible. I will have the "Black Dog Luggage" sign with me as well.
Enjoy your ride.
