Rather than go through the trouble and anxiety of packing and shipping, why not just buy a bike from CDO ? Heck, have everyone autograph it and put it up for auction. Auction winner receives the bike on Sunday evening, post event. Wishful thinking. If only one could afford such beau gestes.

1.) If you want to ship in bikes or parts ahead of arrival; Send them to cycles de ORO with "CIRQUE" written nice and large on the outside in a few conspicuous places. We will safely store them for your arrival.

Send to: cycles de ORO, Inc. 1410 Mill Street Greensboro, North Carolina 27408 USA

2.) There will be space provided to assemble & fiddle with bikes, including basic tools and repair stands.

3.) If you can pack your bikes up yourself and have accounts with the carriers, we can have FedEx or UPS pick them up. Or we can ship them for you, post event and, if needed, the CDO shop staff can even pack up your bikes, and there would then be appropriate charges...

This is the time that many are scrambling to find a place to stay for the upcoming Cirque, so I want to give a brief overview...

The closest place is The Battleground Inn, but it has essentially been booked solid from the moment they started accepting reservations last year. They also do not have a sophisticated system for reservations so routinely fudge things up and sometimes do not have the promised rooms in the final crunch. Very frustrating...

So, the next alternatives are expensive: The O'Henry Hotel is very nearby but expensive.

After that, the next closest and most bikeable is one choice, I do not have on the web site.. The down town Marriott, it's a nicer, big place, good for a person flying in and wanting to cycle to & fro.. Rooms are available there via Expedia right now for $109 nite. They do charge extra to park cars though. :(

After that, there are many places along Interstate 40, all of which involve a 5-8 minute drive. I recommend those right at Wendover Ave & I-40 and then High Point Road & I-40. Most of those are reliably clean & safe (!)

In any case, my advice is to use the places here first:
