Word has just come that we are GO for a seven day ride!
So we’re on for the 2-day 150 and the 7-day 550. Both rides start July 10, 2010. (Event dates and links have been updated on the right of the page.)
Thank you to everyone who voiced an opinion, you were heard.
Now is when the real work begins. We are under a microscope and we have to produce. We need to increase ridership and fundraising. You all have great ideas, it now is the time to act on them. If you have ideas to share, contact the Ryan or marketing team at marketing {at} newenglandclassic.org and share them. If you’d like to be on the marketing team, contact admin {at} newenglandclassic.org. Many hands make light work.
At the same time, we will be doing advance planning for the 2011 NEC. This advance planning includes investigation of a downsized ride. If you would like to participate in this effort, your contributions will be welcome. Whether the ride will be downsized in 2011 depends entirely on our success in 2010. .
But, for veterans and new riders alike, the decision to include a 7-day ride this year is welcome news and we all owe a thank-you to Chris and the other decision makers at the ADA to risk the event for one more year. And we owe a HUGE thank-you to Ryan who was able to make our case for preserving the 7-day in such a persuasive (and successful) way.
Now it’s our turn to get to work.

I’m so happy, I need to go change my pants again…
The NEC Tour de Cure page – the ADA run site – is acting flukey right now. Apparently none of the coordinators can update their webpages today. Once this is rectified, I will have more details (reg fees, fundraising minimums, jersey pictures, in-training t-shirt incentives, etc) available!
Thanks to ALL that gave so MUCH!
looking forward to 2010 and hopefully many more (let the fundraising begin)
