Preparing your transportation to events
This is a tricky one as most people who attend the events have different circum-
stances with their job, life, and monetary constraints. Most people drive to the
events and ever since the national series changed to east and west coast champi-
onships, it has been easier than ever to attend just a few closer events and possibly
leave with a national championship! The best thing to do is to carpool with local
rider friends so you can make it a fun filled vacation! Camping is always available
on site. If driving is not an option for one reason or another, you can always fly into
the closest airport and arrange transportation to and from the site. I believe some
of the manufacturers actually offer a bike rental service at the national events! If
you can convince your local rider friends to drive with the bikes and you can fly,
even better! I usually book all my travel plans at least a month in advance for the
cheapest rates on flights, car rentals, and hotels!
