Boston Logistics Update: After much research and racking of the mind (pored over lots of maps of the Hopkinton area), I made my hotel reservation last night (I am shocked). Got an acceptable rate at a hotel in Westborough, which is about seven miles from the 52 South Street bus pick-up point. Now all I have to do is figure out how I will get around prior to the race (bib pick-up) and on race day. Will use MBTA for bib pick-up, but will need a ride to/from the train station, and of course to the bus pick-up point on race day. As GT has recalled, I do not have a cell phone. Will my iPad work for scheduling an Uber? Have never used Uber. Are they reliable? Would paying them on race day be complicated?
Thanks GT and SI for all of your input.
Before I forget...I looked around the BAA site to see if I could create an acct. and saw no way to do that...just stuff about getting email updates. I gather I would create an acct. when registering for the ace on Sept. 10?
