IRONMAN BIKE TRANSPORT PROGRAM(Printable PDF of this information >>) If you are planning to fly into Penticton, we have 2 special ground transport programs in place to move your bike to and from Vancouver. We strongly recommend that you take advantage of this program. Bike Transport August 24th-27th Starting Mon. night August 24th and nightly until Thurs. Aug. 27th all bikes traveling through Vancouver International Airport will be collected during the day and trucked to Penticton overnight. Truck arrival time at the Penticton airport is usually between 5 – 6 am the next morning. Air Canada Jazz staff in Penticton sort the bicycles and deliver to your hotel/motel or accommodations that morning free of charge. Depending on your location, the volume of bicycles and individual hotel/motel office hours, this process is normally completed by 11 am. What you can do to Assist in the Process Make sure the final destination tag reads Penticton YYF. Athletes traveling from the USA or International destinations MUST STILL PHYSICALLY CLAIM YOUR BIKE at your first Canadian port for customs clearance. If you do not, it will be held back and this will delay you receiving it.
