• Make a difference for Upper Iowa University! Team Peacock is a fundraising venture for UIU. Each rider selects a University fund, project or program to support. Options include, but are not limited to:  scholarships, Dean’s funds, UIU Fund, and athletics. Team members are responsible for a fundraising goal, based on the categories below. 100% goal fulfillment is required by July 1, 2023. The Alumni Office will provide some marketing and fundraising support for participants, but ultimately it is up to each rider to creatively and aggressively meet their goal. The deadline has passed but please contact us directly to see about the possibility of a late sign up. In addition to gaining lots of new friends and enjoying camaraderie along the ride, Team Peacock will pay each rider’s RAGBRAI wristband fee and provide new weeklong riders with a Team Peacock biking jersey.
• Enjoy the luxuries of the Peacock Support Crew! They will take care of your camping accommodations on the route. Locations vary, but in the past they have included alumni residences, churches, companies, city, and state parks. The Team Peacock crew will set up camp each day for riders including setting up tents and making available portable hot showers and restrooms, when not provided by a host. Drink station and snack bar includes water, sports drinks, ice, light snacks, bananas and coffee. In addition, laundry service is provided twice during the week for the riders’ cycling gear. Transportation services will ensure your personal gear is safely and securely transported to the starting point as well as each town along the route.
  • Each rider shall pay a Camp Fee of $125 for week-long riders or $30 per day for daily riders, which helps offset the expense of amenities previously mentioned. After February 28, late registration Camp Fee is $175 for week-long riders or $50 per day for daily riders. Camp fees are non-charitable.
