NO SAG - Ship your clothes

Believe it, there will be NO SAG this year for The Ride. As I have mentioned in previous posts on this blog you will be responsible for your equipment. If you don't think you can carry a backpack or panniers on your bike then you may want to look into shipping extra clothes and tubes, etc. to each hotel ahead of time. This has been done by a few riders over the last few years and seems to work well. All you need to do is get your stuff to UPS in enough time to be shipped to Seaside, Morro Bay and Santa Barbara. Important to remember is that we are arriving to Seaside on a Saturday, Morro Bay on Sunday and Santa Barbara on Monday (holiday). I would encourage you to arrange your packages to get to their destinations on Friday the 18th. You should be sure to call each hotel to let them know to expect your package. Also be sure to insert a prepaid "Return Ship" label in each box so you can have the front desk ship your stinky clothes back to you. Details regarding the mailing addresses of each hotel are below.
