There will be one motel room rented in Wilmington for the group's use on the 600k. The control in Wilmington is at Whitey's El-Berta Motor Inn. Call 1-800-866-9448 if you wish to reserve a room.
There will be a minimum amount of food and beverages along the route and most stores are closed at night, so come prepared. There will be limited coverage of the route by organizers, riders are expected to be self sufficient.

I have added a Tips page with information I hope will be useful for riding the brevets and will add to it as I find more useful tips.
