On the downside, the Hotel Indigo 1/4 mile from the contest site in Athens just raised their nightly prices for that weekend to $700 a room, minimum.  I guess they don't want any bike riders staying there.

Its not that....it because the race is actually the larger event (we run in conjunction with that) and most of them have big money sponsors

Yeah, I've been most years since I first moved to north Georgia in 1994.  Twilight pushes the price of hotels up in the area from, say, $100 a night to maybe $150, but $700-800?  Something's wrong.  It's so far off I think their website must be messed up or something.  Indigo is a higher end hotel, but those are Manhattan prices.  It's not that nice no matter what day of the year it is.  I stayed there last year for around $200.
