RACE DAY PARKING and SHUTTLE SERVICE – Sunday, June 8, 2008

All athletes and spectators will be parking at the Travis County Expo Center on Race Day. Please allow sufficient time for traveling to avoid delays in parking and transportation to Race Site.

Arrival at the park:

Shuttles will run from the Travis County Expo Center beginning at 5:30am for participants and spectators, with preference being given to participants. Spectators who do not make it on the last shuttle bus will need to walk approximately one mile to the Race Site. All walkers must stay on the grass and off the Race Course.

Due to the high volume of folks being transported, lines and periodic delays to the park may occur. PLAN TO ARRIVE EARLY enough to allow for any delays. The last shuttle WILL leave Travis County Expo Center at 7am.

After the race:

Shuttles will begin return service to the Travis County Expo Center as soon as last cyclist is off the course, which will be approximately 10:30am. Return service will continue until noon for people heading back to the parking area. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Bikes are not allowed on the shuttles - athletes will need to walk or ride their bikes back to the parking area - spectators may walk back with athletes or plan to meet at the parking lot if shuttle transport is preferred. For those who do walk back to the Expo Center (about a mile away), you will be required to walk on the grass inside the fence line, and make sure to keep the roads clear for the buses. Athletes who choose to ride their bikes back to the parking area MUST wear their helmets.
