Subject: RE: Ironman 70.3 New Orleans : Official ThreadBuckHamilton - 2012-01-22 7:24 PM got a question for you guys/gals or have done this race before. I am trying not to rent a car for the weekend as I am flying in and hoping not to much driving by stay near the french quarter. So the questiob is Could I ride my bike to the tranistion area/start from my hotel on saturday and whould it be safe to do so? STarting get my training into shape for this race. Looking forward to a fun race and getaway weekend with my wife (No Kids). Buck, might want to post this on the Louisiana thread as some of the NOLA locals can chip in. My thought is it probably isn't a great idea (but I have not really reviewed what it would take to get there). Besides riding those roads to get there how were you planning on getting back to your hotel on Saturday? Couple of options would be either Taxi (may be a bit expensive) or see if you can catch a ride with someone else doing the race or maybe bus. I am driving down Saturdary from Baton Rouge to drop off my bike and then heading back. Not sure what time but if you haven't figured things out I might be able to pick you up. |
