Hotels for Mizzou and Michigan Tech

There will be issues getting hotels for the Mizzou and Michigan Tech mountain bike race weekends. Both overlap with family weekends hosted by the schools and home football games. We typically try to avoid overlapping with home football games but that broke down this year. You should make hotel reservations ASAP (and if you are unsure if you will need it, find a hotel with a reasonable cancelation policy.) Michigan Tech’s team is working with the school to try to find housing vacancies but that will not be before mid-September so you are encouraged to find something now if possible.
More information will be posted to the conference email list so make sure a team representative is on that list. Normally, the messages are shown to the right but due to some technical problems, they are not as of this posting. You can find list messages at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mwccc.
