A point to point run? The run starts and finishes right at/near Courthouse Square. You DO have to check in your Bike the day before, and your T2 stuff...you do not have to check your post-race stuff the day before. Have you read the athlete guide?

"MANDATORY BIKE/ RUN CHECK-IN Bike and Bike Gear Bag Check-In: Transition 1 at Lake Sonoma Run Gear Bag Check-In: Transition 2 at Courthouse Square BIKE CHECK IN: On Friday, May 12, athletes must check in their bike from 10 AM to 5 PM in Transition 1 at Lake Sonoma or register their bike with Tri Bike Transport for their bike shuttle program, see the event website for more details.

Bike gear Check-In is optional on Friday. You may also bring your gear into transition on race morning."

RUN GEAR CHECK IN: Mandatory Run Gear Check In is from 9 AM to 4 PM on Friday May 12.

Bike and Run Gear Pick-Up will be available near Transition 2 at Courthouse Square starting at 2 PM on race day... As a reminder, you will NOT have access to this bag race morning, so it must be set to go when you check it in on Friday.”

"MORNING CLOTHES BAG Morning Clothes Drop Off (race morning only): Transition 1 at Lake Sonoma."

If you're feeling brave, you can put your cell phone and wallet in your morning clothes bag (assuming you'll be bringing it with you on race morning) and you'll have it (and post-race clothes) once you're done. Otherwise, just leave it in your car.

This is what I do. Never had any issues

Ditto leave in car. Car keys in bike bag under seat or tied to shorts (double knot). A few dollars stowed somewhere in case after race.

Thanks all - I think that's the plan.
- Park at the race finish race morning to catch the shuttle.
- Keep the wallet and phone in the car. Stash extra key on the bike or in T2 bag.
