Yep, September. We have a pretty good chance. The other bidders are Oman (where the avg. temp is 110) and Canada...city not announced. Ontario just had them in 2003.
I was in Richmond for the NAHMBS last year and it was a great city! One of our friends had ridden in the US Open there so he took us out on the route. Of course we had to ride up Libby Hill more than once. 
I wonder how far in advance hotels start taking reservations?
