In negotiations with a large hotel that has plenty of indoor AIR CONDITIONED gathering space (a banquet room where we can all gather in after our rides).

I have been told that AUGUST is still considered "PEAK season". Rates for a decent hotel are at a premium ($110 - $130).
I have also been told that a Tent in the evening is NOT a good idea ... TOO HOT, The hotel lady has told me that the temperature in the late afternoon can still be between 90 to 100 degrees. (75-85 in the mountains while riding)

I am trying to negotiate rooms for around $80-$90 with a free banquet room.
Location is also convenient to reach ....

GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO

Great rides to the North, East and South
Several restaurants and conveniences nearby.

Further details to follow.
