Hi Gang.

I've booked a room for the Lancaster bike ride at a Holiday Inn Express.  I chose this hotel based on it being part of a national chain that I've had good luck with, and it's also just 3.7 miles from the start of our bike ride.  The ride will probably be about 39 miles.

I'm checking in on Friday, 9/8, and out on Monday, 9/11.  Saturday is the planned ride, and Sunday depends on who feels like doing what.

I chose the "featured rate", which is the same as the AARP or AAA discount.  Be aware that although the "Advance Purchase" rate is slightly lower, there is no cancellation allowed for that rate.
