So, here's the situation. I'm racing Coeur d'Alene (Jun 27). However, my family and I are heading to Vail, CO (we live in Virginia Beach) on Jun 4th for a "work from somewhere else" trip for a few weeks before road tripping to Jackson, WY, Big Sky, MT and on to CdA. I'm shipping our Mt. Bikes (mine, wife's and the two boys) via Bike Flights and had planned on flying with my Tri Bike. I have a Bike Box by Alan Aero case, which takes up a ton of room in the car. I also will not have my Wahoo, need to plan around a change in time zone for work and keeping the boys (8 and 6) engaged / getting them to and from adventure camp.
At the end of the day, I'm not sure how realistic it is for me to get a ton of tri specific riding in while in Vail (or the other stops) as our plan was to enjoy a few weeks with the boys and explore Aspen, Steamboat, Maroon Bells etc. on the weekends prior to setting off on our road trip. I can continue to run as normal and swim in the rec center.
I'm wondering if I just ship the Tri Bike direct to CdA and "taper" with the Mt. Bike...I figure a couple times up Vail Pass or up and down the ski access roads would be ok. If I get really desperate I can rent a road bike in Vail. It's not ideal, but will three weeks really make a big difference? For context, I'm not going for a KQ. Solid MOP'er, likely 6hr or so bike split and will just be happy to be racing again.
Thanks in advance.
