I usually stay at French Quarter, but it seems they are not taking reservations for Wine & Dine weekend due to construction, so I opted for Riverside instead. Since Riverside is so large, with multiple shuttle stops, I'm worried the bus ride to the race corrals may be longer?

I always get up super early and get to the busses by 3:00AM at the latest. But I've had a few close calls when drivers get lost or traffic backs up. French Quarter is one single pick up for runners, and sometimes one stop for Riverside, but often it's just a direct shot to the corrals. And even then it can take anywhere from 20-40 minutes sometimes.

Are there multiple stops at Riverside on race mornings? Or is it just as quick as French Quarter?
