Question:
Before we make the hotel reservations, we would like to confirm the starting and ending point for each day so that we can select hotels closest to each start/finish. Based on the route listed on the Website, it seems like the first day you end in Las Delicias Park and the next morning you start from Las Delicias Park again. However on the Hotel tab for Ponce mentions that Ponce Hilton is the arrival place for La Vuelta 2011. Can you confirm one way or another?
In Mayaguez it arrives at the town square but it seems like it departs from the Mayaguez Holiday Inn… Is this correct?
I will appreciate if you can help us with these questions…
Regards,
A rider from California and from Florida
Answer:
First of all, thanks for signing up for La Vuelta Puerto Rico ... we look forward to meeting you all in January!!.
Assuming that you stay at one of our listed hotels, distance to the start everyday should not be much of an issue. Here is a little more information that may help answer your question.
In San Juan, chances are that we will leave from a location in Old San Juan. At this time, it all depends on the number of riders that we have and that is something that will be clear on December 1. (we close November 30, or before if cap is reached). In any case, all hotels are within walking distance or the most 3 miles away which is nothing considering you will ride 375 the following 3 days. Feel free to pick any one listed in our site depending on your individual preference.
In Ponce, we will ride into the Plaza las Delicias of Ponce. There our Road Captains will "drop off" anyone staying at the Ramada or Melia Hotels where your luggage will be waiting. Then, the rest of the riders will continue to the Ponce Hilton where we end the day … those staying at the Holiday Inn further up the road will have to simply log in the few extra miles. The next morning, a Road Captain will guide those in the Plaza las Delicias out of Ponce while those at the Hilton and Holiday Inn will join further up the road.
In Mayaguez, same thing as in Ponce. We will ride into the Plaza of Mayaguez dropping off those at the Howard Johnson or Colonial Hotels and from there continue to the Mayaguez Resort and Casino and Holiday Inn further up the road. The next morning we convene at the Holiday Inn Mayaguez while a Road Captain will bring those at other hotels to the start line.
