Another newbie 170 mile ride question

[myjas]

Thanks for your replies. I have read the site and couldn't find much info on the actual ride. I thought maybe a hotel would let rooms for charity or whatnot. I hope to do this. I will have to start riding more road to condition myself(normally a dirt girl,lol). I am doing the 5 Boros in May which is 42 miles and looking forward to that.

The bike club may have negotiated a cheaper rate at are hotels and/or arranged for dorm rooms to be available, but I doubt very much that you'll find anything but camping for free.

The MS150 I did provided free overnite accomodations on the gym floor of a school, and transported one overnight bag per rider for free in a truck. Meals were also provided.

Also, if you join a local team, they often provide tents with cots, in exchange for being credited with the money you raise as part of the larger team effort. Definitely more comfortable than a gymnasium floor!
