I just got with two of the hotels today; Days Inn (540)586-8286 & Super 8 - (540) 707-2062, in Bedford VA and both are on board with the group rates. $54.95 at Days, and $69.99 (King bed) and $79.99 (2 queen beds) at Super 8. (Use Blue Ridge British Bike Rally as discount code.) Both are about 15 miles from meet-up. Discounts apply Thursday 9/21/17 to Saturday 9/23/17.
It'll be about ten more days before I can pin down Peaks of Otter Lodge (POOL). Expect in the $150/night range; pricey, but beautiful setting.

There is also camping about 1/2 mile from POOL.

This year we will not meet at POOL parking lot, but at the Peaks of Otter Visitor Center/Country Store about 3/10 mile south. There's more parking and we're expecting more participation this year.

The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination! John 3:16
