I am staying at the Village Inn Motel in Mt. Horeb (just a few miles from the start) both Friday and Saturday nights. The room has two twin beds and is $79 a night. (pretty girls preferred)
As far as the carpool I will be driving over on Friday and back on Sunday. Here is the route.....

Mapquest says.....Estimated Time: 8.0 hours 44 minutes Estimated Distance: 467.48 miles.
I did check on the ferry options there are three and with loading and unloading times I would save maybe a half an hour. Then factoring gas savings vs ferry cost it would cost just over an extra $100. The real kicker is there are only set times the ferry travels, so if I get there early I have to wait and if I am late I would be totally screwed.

Well the HHH is worth the long drive. I bet you are doing the 200k?, right? I'm soliciting for friends to hang out in the park with waiting for 200K'ers after I'm done puking from my 100K:D
I bet it's beautiful where you live in that part of Michigan :)

Yup I am in for the 200K, but if I finish before your friend we can have a beer and share puking stories:D.
And yes this part of Michigan is beautiful. I wouldn't live any ware else, great rolling hills with very little traffic perfect for biking.
If it makes a difference I am not really a "Fred" :D

My June schedule is busy but let me know maybe we can put a ride together. If you are that slow I will just ride hard the day before and do my cool down ride with you. :lol:
Friday night is taken but Saturday is still open.
