Hi everyone. For the third year in a row, we get to travel to Sunrise Resort in Arizona for our next Enduro race. It’s a great venue and a great experience for everyone. We hope you choose to go and race! Here is what we are thinking about that race in terms of travel, lodging, etc.
FIRST AND FOREMOST…
We need to know who is planning on going or would like to consider it.
If you are going, we will add you to a slack channel specifically for this race.
TRAVEL
Typically, travel is up to each family to provide, but with a race like this one being so far away, we try to carpool as much as possible. We will have room for extra people and bikes with the various racks and vehicles we have. Here is generally what the itinerary looks like:
Thursday, June 12th - we leave in the morning and travel all day to Arizona, arriving in the evening usually around 6-7pm.
Friday, June 13th - We pre-ride at the resort and do a dinner together that night as a team.
Saturday, June 14th - We Race!! After the race that night we typically get dinner and ice cream together.
Sunday, June 15th - We drive home
LODGING
For the past two years we have rented a large Airbnb in Sho-lo and packed everyone in. Generally we have had no issues with finding room for everyone. This helps us reduce individual costs. You do not have to stay with us, but it is an option that works well for us. Places we rent have been large enough to have separate rooms for girls and boys if we need them.
COST
We will calculate costs for the lodging and gas for all who are going together and break that cost up between everyone. This helps keep costs a lot more manageable than having everyone drive themselves and find their own lodging.
FOOD
For food, each rider is responsible for their own food costs for most of the trip. However, the team will provide breakfasts in the airbnb and one dinner and ice cream. Your total food costs should not be high.
