OK guys...here's the deal. I already spoke with Benny & Shari about this, so I guess I'll just cross any preexisting social boundries and put this one out on the table. As you know, I'm coming up from NYC and am a rather inexperienced rider (only been riding for a year). I'm REALLY looking forward to this ride, but there seems to be a black cloud hanging above my head at the moment. The deal is that I'm not exactly looking forward to riding back into NYC Saturday evening after a full day's ride.
So that being said, and acknowledging the fact that I've met none of you yet personally, I'm looking for lodging. Shari gave me a list of some hotels around New Haven and the ones that had availability were around $100. Normally this would be fine, but since I just wrote out $700 worth of checks to Mr. Taxman, I'm spread a little thin this month. So does anyone have any leads on cheaper hotels (that I shouldn't be afraid to leave my bike out all night), couches, garages, flower beds, basically anywhere for me to crash for a few hours?
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
