You may contact hotels directly for accommodations. If you choose this option you must pick up your bag(s) each afternoon at the overnight camping site and transport them to your hotel. In the morning you must take your bag(s) back to the camping site and load them on the luggage truck.
Each registered cyclist may bring one or two bags of clothing, camping equipment, and other gear. No trash cans or boxes on wheels as they are difficult to handle and easily damaged. Bags must not weigh more than 40 pounds each!!!! You must load your bag onto the truck each morning. Bags are dropped off the back of the truck (about a 4 foot drop) each day at camp so pack accordingly. Bags are unloaded outside (rain or shine) when the truck arrives in camp. Waterproof bags are strongly recommended. Bags may not be tied together. (failure to follow this rule may result in straps being damaged)
The Bicycle Tour of Colorado will have a shuttle bus service in most overnight towns. The BTC shuttle bus will stop at the grocery store, the beer garden/band/entertainment, and the pool (if there is one) from the early afternoon into the evening. The route in each town will be included in your BTC tour map book you will receive at BTC Check-In.
