Pork Belly Ventures LLC will offer our Tent service and PHAT trailers for 4 nights on Bicycling Around Minnesota!

PBV TENT SERVICE

Take the labor out of your cycling vacation.  For only $295, we will put your name on a 63 sq ft rental tent, complete with ground cloth and rain fly.  The PBV crew does all the labor of set-up, take-down, and moving of bags (two bags per person) to and from the tent each day.  Each morning, you pack up your bags and leave them inside your tent.  When you ride into our next campsite, you'll find your bags inside your tent.  We can place friends' rental tents next to each other, no problem.  Tents include foam mattresses for up to 2 occupants. (The maximum number of tent occupants is two.  Two occupants may share the tent and split the $295 price.)
