Parking
Please Carpool!
With so many people congregating in Castle Rock for the Subaru Elephant Rock Ride, parking can be tough. Please carpool with as many people as possible to help make parking easier for everyone!
There are two exits from I-25 where you will be able to find parking:
Exit #181 (Plum Creek Parkway) accesses the largest number of parking sports around the Douglas Country Fairgrounds. Parking attendants will direct you to the closest available spots. If the lot is full, there are other options scattered around the town.
Exit #182 is a good option to find parking downtown. Please be considerate of the local merchants that are open and only park in designated areas. Cars parked in the posted NO PARKING areas will be towed–guaranteed.
Team Tent
Stop by Team Transplant’s tent after the ride for smoothies, milkshakes, and massages, to pose for the team photo, and to relax with your fellow riders!
Please remember: You need to wear your orange team wrist band (provided in your packet) in order to have access to the team benefits.
Milkshakes, Smoothies, & Massages, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Our volunteers will be serving smoothies and milkshakes exclusively for Team Transplant members! Be sure to stop by for these treats. And yes–we will have soy options for our vegan and lactose-intolerant friends!
Massage therapists will be waiting for you at the team tent to help you relax after your 100, 62, 34, 25, or seven mile ride.
