The event seemed less well organized and with poorer communication than in the past. We did have to ride to the hotel through city streets in Goldsboro when we had originally intended to leave the bikes at camp because most of the racks (which have usually been available) were monopolized for the paying customers. The issue merlinextralight had mentioned as nickel and dimeing. Why was it announced at short notice and why did the free hotel customer racks disappear? We didn't mind the extra mileage but had to ride on some uncomfortably busy streets. They also could have mentioned that we would be staying in a condo cabin some distance from camp in Lake Lure enjoyed the ride though and met some nice folks. The 88 year old rider took exception when I told him that my 75 year old brother has aged out and we are unlikely to do the ride next year.
