Hey there Karen..I looked into a few prices there in Wichita Falls and they are price gauging (spelling?) so much! It is worth it for me to go to Vernon and pay 75 a night..then to pay 170 a night with a 2 night min! So, here is where I am staying. Days Inn, hwy 287 west @ Bentley. 940-552-9982...I am going to stay Friday and Saturday night. I am not sure if Lance will be in or not with his work schedule. If he isn't, I will have the room to myself..Bring on the dancers! LOL It looks like it is about 40 miles to the hotel. Could make it in 30 minutes or so....Still worth the miles compared to the price in WF.
Now, I just need to get back on my bike! Been 2 weeks! uhgggg! Talk to you soon and whoever else wants to meet for the ride!

Hey! What about this... Bowie? It's about 30 miles south of Wichita Falls. Closer and it's on my way from Denton.
We could share a room, and I found a Days Inn for around $45. Although, I didn't confirm the price. I'll also send you a PM about this.
Now, if Lance or Jonny decides to go...we will need another room, so maybe we can each reserve a room?

I signed up for the HnH today! No hotel rooms available so we will be staying at the Y. That's part of the whole experience IMO. I'll be sure to take some ear plugs. Do you all know your bib numbers? It would probably be unlikely that I could find you among 10,000 riders ...but who knows.

HELLO!
Well, I have bowed out of the ride. I have some big things to pay for in August and I couldn't justify spending $300 for the weekend.
With that said, Heidi might need a buddy to ride with. She's WONDERFUL to ride with. I'm really disappointed I won't be making it this year. Last year, she and I actually found each other at the start and rode together the whole way.
So, if you want a riding buddy... hit her up vis IM!

My husband and I will be going again this year. We are staying with one of the Host Families. This will be a new experience! Have fun everyone!
