Service Providers for Out-of-State Riders
The service provider that Cyclist_306 is referring to is independent of The Des Moines Register and the RAGBRAI registration fee. See http://ragbrai.com/index.php/about/charter-services/ for a list of the 2009 providers.
The number of riders and camp followers make RAGBRAI unlike any other event ride I've ever participated in, and these service providers are well worth considering both for logistic support and the potential camaraderie of making new friends and renewing old friendships.
IMO csm is right on, if you use RAGBRAI services then you should pay, however from what I've observed a large number of Iowa natives feel the ride is free for them. Their rational is that this improves the change for "visitors" to get in via the lottery.
IMO RAGBRAI is worth doing once, but spending a week with "20,000 new rolling friends" is not an experience that one needs to repeat every year. I'm sure Cyclist_306 will have a great time and look forward to his sharing some images.
