(If you do not see your question answered on this list, contact us)

1.  Where is Coeur d'Alene, ID?  
Norther Tip of Idaho, intersection of I-90 and US Hwy 95, just ~30 minutes E of Spokane, WA along I-90.

2.  What is Coeur d'Alene weather like in mid-May?
Average Day-time highs of upper 60s to 70s.  Average Overnight lows in the mid 40s.  

3.  I'm flying, where should I fly into?  How will I get to/from airport?
Spokane International Airport, Spokane, WA. 
The best airlines to fly (cheapest bike rates) are Alaska Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. I believe their one-way bike charges are $50, but check with your airline to be sure.  
To get to/from Coeur d'Alene, you will need to take a taxi, shuttle, or rental car.  Depending on when you arrive and depart, we may be able to pick you up and drop you off.  

4.  I need to ship my bike, how do I do that, what does it cost to have someone receive my bike?
Call Mountain View Cyclery and Fitness ahead of time to let them know you are shipping a bike.
Tell them you are with the Kirk Nelson/Derek Garcia Triathlon Camp Group, May 19-22, 2011.
There is no cost to receive your bike.  If you'd like, and if your bike arrives before you do, we may be able to open it and build it -- just let us know in the comments section or use contact form on the side of this page.
