[GRRiders] Motel/hotel

[Bill Bryant]

The Hallmark is popular with many randonneurs since the Davis brevets all
start there (in the Boy Scout Cabin parking lot across the street).  There
is also a restaurant nearby [along with many others in easy walking distance
in downtown Davis.] It is where I'd probably stay if needing pre-GRR
accommodations. There are several other motels nearby, all w/ similar
prices. For lower prices, the Motel 6 is east of town about 4 miles.

In 2001 the Hallmark/Boy Scout Cabin lot was the location of the pre-GRR
tech inspection for bikes & lights and the drop-bag pick-up place, and a
couple days later, it was the finish line location.

The actual GRR start was a 2.5 mile ride north on F street from the Hallmark
Hotel/Boy Scout Cabin lot, so riders got a short warm-up before the
departure.

Daryn & Dan-- will the Boy Scout Cabin be used in 2005 as it was in 2001?
