Ride Details:

     
I have blocked off a total of 10 rooms at the Sage and Sand Motel in Saratoga, WY for Saturday night June 12, 1999.

They are:

Four rooms with a Queen size bed for $42.12

Five rooms with a Full size bed for $37.80

One room with two bedrooms and a door in between for a total of $61.56

Call (307) 326-8339 to make your own arrangements.

We have them blocked off until June 5, 1999. If they are not booked by the RMVTA or Rocky Mountain Venture Touring Association by then they will be released back to the Motel.

This is right across the street from a restaurant, within walking distance of bars and lounges downtown or from the "Hobo Pool" a FREE natural hot water mineral spring to soak away those sore spot and kinks from the days ride.

We can plan on picking up some items at the grocery store on the way out of town and have a picnic near the top of Snowy Range weather permitting and then a more relaxing ride on into Denver from there. Otherwise we can have lunch in Laramie, WY someplace.

Other accommodations in town are the Saratoga Inn (307) 326-5261 or the Hacienda (307) 326-5751 or the Hotel Wolf right downtown at (307) 326-5525.
