Registration for this event opens in early November after which there is a flurry of activity for competitors to find accommodation. Thankfully more and more cycling friendly businesses like Hotel Rondpoint are opening up locally, to help meet the demand. Unfortunately many of these properties will ask for a minimum of a 7 night booking.
