Our tri club (Chicago Tri Club) rented a few houses in downtown St. Joe's for Steelhead - and, as is typical, we have people who've backed out at the last minute and so we have spaces available. If you're interested in staying in a house, please PM me. The cost is $205 per person - this gets you a bed spot - depending on how many people we wind up with and how many single/twin beds there are, you might get a whole bed, might have to share. No guarantees that you get to share with an attractive member of the opposite sex. :-)
Since we had to rent the houses for a whole week, this is a particularly good deal for people who want to go up a few days earlier and turn it into a training week or mini-vacation. (Houses are rented from 7/27 - 8/3.) The cost is the same. It's also good for people who want to be able to bike to the race site - or who didn't get a room at the HI Express and want to avoid staying in a scary motel in Benton Harbor (and yes, I know not all of them are, but some....)
