I have been stuck trying to find a hotel room, but I hate having a destination planned except the final one and then its important not to have an arrival date. I tend to ride from about 6am to about 4 pm so I have time to find a hotel in the light and I'm not riding around in the dark hungry and tired trying to find a place. Then I can shower, find a good meal and check out the local attractions in the evening.

The times I've had a person to meet as I was passing through screw up the ride enough that I often don't even tell people I'm riding in their part of the country.
