Getting there

Ship or fly your bike? Shipping (BikeFlights and similar) means packing a box a week or so ahead and trusting the carrier's delivery window, but you skip airline bike fees and lugging a case through the airport. Flying with it keeps the bike with you, but airline bike fees vary by carrier and route and a case is awkward in a rental car. Check your airline's current sports-equipment fee and get a shipping quote for your exact route before you decide.
Rental car: plan on one, since these towns are a drive from the airport. Book early for race week and check that your bike or bike box fits.
