Shuttle Service:
Shuttle Service is available from Denver to Eagle, with a drop off at the ”Kum & Go.” Shuttles depart from Denver Airport at 12pm, 1:30pm, 3:30pm, and 6:30pm. Both the AmericInn and Best Western will pick you up from the drop-off at your request. Please e-mail Cole Stewart, cstewart1@ridecme.com, with Colorado Mountain Express and tell him you are with NICA. The return times (from the Eagle Kum and Go) are 8 AM, 9:30 AM, 11 AM, 2Pm. Allow 3 hours travel time to the airport and 1.5 hours at the airport. Thus we recommend a 4.5 hour lead time to your flight time.
