Why keep the new hotel a secret?
In past years, non-premier members have seen the hotel link on the

want to be sure all Premier members have a chance to get a room at
these low prices.
Trust me....you'll be pleased with the new venue.

fantastic time
with fellow long-distance riders. If you have any questions, just email [email protected]
