Thanks to others for the advice on the weather. I had planned to camp as well. Guess I'd better pack some warmer stuff just in case.
I stayed in motels both times. However, as I recall the route this year. there likely are not motels in some stops. I figured the ride was hard enough for someone 58 and 59 years old - who had just started riding - at the time - so sleep was important. Be prepared for hot snd stuffy high school gyms if you stay in the gyms.
