Actually, To call Bubba a 3rd party baggage hauler is like calling the Tour de France a bicycle ride.  Sure, if you sign up to be a "pampered pedaler" Bubba will haul your bags for you.  Just like you'll get to ride you bike if you're in the TdF.  Bubba will also:  provide a nice Sierra Designs tent (with ground cloth and rain fly) along with a nice fat inflatable air mattress.  He tears down and packs the tent each day and moves it (along with your bags) to a specially-selected spot at the next campground (the "Pamper Zone").  Since Bubba gets there early, he gets a great spot - not under an all-night lamp or next to a porta potty.  And if it might rain the Zone will be situated on the highest ground available.  Bubba also provides the use of a camp chair with leg rest, clean towel and washcloth daily, and munchies and liquid refreshments.  I'll be a Pampered Pedaler for the third year in a row this year!  I was sold 2 years ago when we enjoyed torrential rain most of the week and my tent and stuff were dry (thanks Bubba!) when everyone else's were sitting in 3 inches of rain and mud at the end of each day's ride.
