Hotels:
As a club benefit, 50 Club members (top 50 fundraisers from 2011) and Jewelry Boomerang members (participants raising $1,000 or more in 2011) will be given the first opportunity to book hotel rooms in New Bern for 2012 Bike MS. These members will be contacted via email, phone, and mail throughout November and December 2011 to book rooms for the 2012 ride.
On January 1, 2012, all remaining rooms in New Bern will be released for general booking. If New Bern rooms are full as of January 1st, we suggest booking rooms in Morehead City, Havelock, and Kinston, only 30 minutes away from the start/finish line.
We will be happy to add you to the New Bern hotel waiting list (email bike@nct.nmss.org), but strongly encourage you to make other accommodations in neighboring communities or to check out the camping options below.
