Baggage Policy
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)
Bus Service
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 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 tour map book.
