To further ensure a safe race for our participants, you will NOT be able to leave this parking lot until our last cyclists is back in the transition area. The latest time for the last cyclists to return is 10am, but we expect to be able to open that parking lot much early than 10am (and will open it as soon as we are able to). But if you park in this lot, there is a small possibility that you will not be able to leave until 10am.
If you have to leave prior to this time or if you arrive AFTER 6:30am, you will need to park at the Berea Rd Soccer complex and walk over to the Club at Spindletop by accessing the Legacy Trail. You can follow the Legacy Trail over to Spindletop. This will be around a 10 minute walk over to Spindletop.
