How do I get my bike back to Houston?

• Bike trucks and shuttle vans will be available to transport bikes and people back to

Waller Junior High on a staggered schedule

• Sometimes the wait is between 1-2 hours before bike trucks arrive
• Option 2: We send bike trucks and shuttles back to Houston Sunday morning

and all riders use the official MS150 shuttles or find your own way back

• MS150 transportation is $35 pre-paid, buses leave when full
• Site says it can take up to 5 hours from moment you load your bike to when your

bike arrives at Waller, Tully or Rhodes stadium

• Option 3: Use team bike trucks, but pick up your bikes on Monday
• Austin team would leave on Sunday to return to Houston
• Chad/Kim, Lee/Tina would stay in Austin Sunday night with the bike trucks and

return to Houston on Monday

• Everyone would need to pick up their bike sometime on Monday at a

predetermined spot
