Hi all - I hope this is an OK use of the list; if not, the moderators should delete it.
I'm a Warm Showers host, and I just got a request from Ginger and Tucker [name edited because my memory is terrible], two cyclists riding from Oregon to Cape Cod to host them (and their small dog) tomorrow (Friday, July 19) after they ride from Pittsfield to the Amherst area. Ordinarily I'd say yes but I'm out of town until very late tomorrow evening. They can't find a hotel with a room, due to the lacrosse championships, and they're concerned about the heat.
I wouldn't normally want to use the NCC discussion group for something like this, but I too am concerned about the heat. If any of you feels like hosting two cycle tourists and their small dog, or knows someone who would, you can contact them here:
I can't vouch for them, but I imagine they have some good stories about their trip from Oregon to Massachusetts. One of them is a UMass Amherst alum.
