CARLSBAD OVERNIGHT SCHEDULE

Once you arrive at the Day One finish line in Carlsbad, check your bike in at the bike locker.  Then refuel with some snacks or get a massage.  Pick up your luggage, hop on the hotel courtesy shuttle and check-in to your hotel.  Once you freshen up, hop back on the shuttle which will bring you back to the festival area.

The Saturday night party includes dinner, live entertainment and dancing in an outdoor festival-like setting at Westfield Plaza Camino Real in Carlsbad.  If you have friends or family who would like to join you, they are welcome.  You may purchase additional meal tickets at rider check-in events or at the Bike MS Tour Information Booths in Carlsbad and Mission Bay.  Dinner pricing coming soon.

* If you are still on the route at 5pm, you will be picked up by a support & gear (SAG) vehicle and driven to the finish. If you choose to stay on the course after 5pm, you will be on your own (unsupported).

 
 
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2008

We know you might want to stay in bed after Day One, but be sure to get up in time for a catered breakfast back at the Westfield Plaza Camino Real before starting Day Two.  Give yourself enough time to get on the shuttle, checkout your bike from the bike locker, check your luggage back onto the luggage truck and eat a good breakfast.  Again, we ask that riders not leave prior to the official start time.  If you do so, the rest stops may not be prepared and there will be no route support.

The Sunday finish line celebration includes lunch in an outdoor festival-like setting at Hospitality Point in Mission Bay, San Diego. Invite your friends and family to join you! You may purchase additional meal tickets at rider check-in events or at the Bike MS Tour Information Booths in Carlsbad and Mission Bay. Lunch pricing coming soon.
