MS-150 Columbia, MO Logistics

1.) Hotel Accommodations
I have 4 rooms reserved in Columbia for check-in on Friday, Sep 5th with checkout on Sunday, Sep 7th.
!!UPDATE !! Two rooms are accounted for as of 7/26/2008. Two rooms remain so let me know if you need a room or wish to share a room with someone.

Holiday Inn Express COLUMBIA-REG HOSP & MED CTR
801 KEENE STREET COLUMBIA, MO 65201 UNITED STATES
Hotel Phone: 1-573-4494422
Hotel Fax: 1-573-4421110

We can do two to a room. Cost per room is $114/night plus tax (or $57/person).

This hotel actually has full breakfast (eggs, sausage and other goodies) that they put out early on Saturday and Sunday morning to cater to the riders.

If you are looking for a bed or room, and this option appeals to you, then email me at mogus@earthlink.net and let me know so I can put you on the list. First come first served basis for Confidus and Affton Truckers Team members. I will leave all rooms under my name to simplify coordination and ensure all are used or cancelled if appropriate.

Otherwise, you can go to the MS-150 Website to get a list of other hotels that might be offering discount to riders:

2.) Camping
Confidus has a group that camps every year at the Midway Expo site so if interested in that option, just email so we can get a count and ensure enough space. The earlier we get there Friday night, the better the spot I think.

3.) Registration
Be sure to sign up and use the discount code "firecracker" to get registered for just $8 through Tuesday, July 8th.
