There are a couple of hotels in Preston. Country Trails & Inn is on the north side of town and is good. There is also the Trailhead Inn which is next to the Root River trail and looks adequate, although I've never stayed there. The town has a grocery store and one or two restaurants, although th

I think I agree with James that your two best fully functional bikes would be the Atlantis or the Hilborne. They consistently get mentioned in the "only one bike" debate as good choices. I also agree that when you get on in age the Betty would do you well, if riding well into old age is a goal.
