I'm expecting to be there, but don't let that scare you away!
I can sincerely say that it's one of the best rides of the year. Part of that is because I used to live in Lancaster County, but more importantly, it's a great chance to meet lots of people from Bike Forums.

Well I am pretty sure I will be doing it...I will register for sure. My wife just gave birth to our second child so it will be determined closer to the time if I can get away for a weekend but I can't see that it will be a huge problem.
I am all ready too...I just finished my Neo Exile so showing up with a different bike (since I haven't ridden this ride with the same bike twice) will be no problem.

Well, the four of you, including the wives, but you know what I mean! Best of luck with the new additions to the family. Grasschopper, I'm referring to the kid, not the Neo Exile, but good luck with that too!

This is the first time we are doing this ride. Where is the starting point and what hotels are closest to it. We plan to make it a long weekend.
Thank you

K, we're booked for the ride - WOOT!
We're staying over yonder: https://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-lanc...?promo=gglocal
however, last time we stayed over thar: https://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-lanc...?promo=gglocal
both are real close to the start point; as I mentioned it took us maybe 15 mins, tops, to drive to the start last time and I think that second link is the farther away of the two.
Here is the map to the ride: https://www.lancasterbikeclub.org/cbmmap.html

I did the ride last year and really enjoyed it. Subway for lunch was a nice touch. Well worth the $18 reg fee. I will be doing it again this year.

Got the room reserved. Quality Inn (Oregon Pike), same place I've stayed in the past. Not bad for the price, and all the rooms are ground floor, so no carrying bikes upstairs. Plus it's a short ride to the start via backroads, so I can leave the car at the hotel.

I've done it a few years in a row and this year will be no exception. This and the Sea Gull and my regular events, it seems.
I'll be heading up from Baltimore if anyone wants to car pool.
