Hey Pam! Actually, I did get a room but got it at Holiday Inn Express (also on Monterey) because I can use DH's points and the room is free. I've got to come home Saturday because of the kids and the whining (usually starting late the second day I'm gone!) DH! I think Brandy probably has the same issue. Although, it would be nice to stay that 2nd night, I just can't be gone for 3 days There's already several rides where I'm gone the night before and a couple where I'm gone all weekend (Healdsburg) so I can't push my luck any further!

Caligurl! It such a bummer - lets get you a trailer so you can just tow Brie behind you (or maybe DH can do that!). I seriously think that the Holiday Inn Express' do take pets but of course if you are both riding, it probably wouldn't be good to leave her alone. Dang it anyway!!!

I've got my 'alarm' set to go off when the registration opens so I'll for sure be there for the 100 w/more hills!
