We will be updating the 2016 Info for Riders, which has info on Louisville lodging and transport from Denver International Airport. In the meantime:
Transport from/to DIA
- We continue to recommend RTD-Denver's airport bus service (route AB). Fare is $10.50 one way and there is plenty of room for bike and other baggage. About ¼ mile travel to the Quality Inn, and under a mile to other hotels.
- There had been airport shuttle services such as SuperShuttle, but the landscape has changed. We will be looking into recommendations.
- There are of course ride-hailing providers such as Uber or car rental. It's about 33 miles from the airport to the start/finish area.
Lodging at Start/Finish in Louisville
- When we checked with our traditional host hotel, the Quality Inn - who have served us very well in the past - they weren't offering any discounts because of a special event that week. Checking just now, the rates are still higher there than nearby hotels ($199 in Google map below).

- For these reasons, we will probably not reserve a block of rooms as we have in the past for riders to book. But we will see if we can arrange space to store your bike boxes and baggage, as they have done in the past (while not requiring you to keep a room during the ride).
Stay tuned as we update everyone on these and other logistics!
