Bikes will be placed in the appropriate sections based on category assignments (1, 2, 3, 4 or Family) – look for signs directing you – there will be volunteers who stay with the bikes the entire time until picked up. Numbers assigned to bikes will match your body number and volunteers will verify when bikes are removed from T2 area.
7. Make sure ALL GEAR YOU NEED TRANSPORTED TO T2 is placed in the bag with your bib number on it! We have several items each year go unclaimed because they were not secured in the numbered bag. If for some reason you don't find all of your gear at T2, check near the west entrance of the church at T2 to see if it is in the Lost & Found.
8. T2 (transition from cycle to run) – at the church – if you are a member of a team, cyclist must tag up with runner here.
   If you want your running shoes here, check-in at the registration table first to get your race number, then transport your shoes to T2 and place them on the chair that has your race number.
