If you’re flying to Ride the Rockies or don’t want the hassle of dealing with your bike on the way to the starting point, we encourage you to ship your bike directly to the start location in Grand Junction.
Once again we’re working with High Country Shipping (HCS), a registered FedEx shipper, for shipping all bikes to and from our event. If you contact HCS, they will arrange all the details, send you shipping labels in advance, monitor your shipment, e-mail you when it arrives at their facility, and they will deliver your bike to the start location of Ride the Rockies.
