Your bike should be ready. You should get out for one last training ride this weekend, then relax the rest of the week. Get your stuff together. Start packing but DON’T OVERPACK!!! You’ll need far fewer clothes than you think and there are laundry facilities at almost every stop we make. Arrange for someone to pick up your mail. Print out directions to the starting line. Parker Chomerics has again graciously allowed us to park our cars in their lot for the week. Please follow directions the morning of the ride.
Check-in will be held at Chomerics (the start line) on Friday 7/11 from 5-7 pm and on Saturday 7/12 from 7-8 am. There you will get your rider number, jersey, t-shirt, goody bag and day 1 trip tik. If you have additional funds, please bring them to check-in. If you have not turned in your minimum (either online or by mail), please bring it with you to check-in. Remember all 150 riders are required to raise $500 and 550 riders are required to raise $1800. If you have any questions, please call Faith at 888-342-2383 x 3456.
Please RSVP for the pasta dinner. 888-342-2382 x 3456 or admin {at} NewEnglandClassic.org.
We will leave Chomerics as a group with a police escort on Saturday. Announcements start at 8 – We will hit the road at 8:30.
Are you ready? Got your forms and donations in? Getting your final training in? Got your bike tuned up? Got your travel plans in order?
Remember, if you have any questions, contact Faith.
Gas is now going for about $4.00 per gallon.
Perhaps you’ve heard.
There are a fair number of riders from the greater New York/ New Jersey area and we’re looking to see if we can get some of them paired up for the trip in order to save some gas. It doesn’t take any more gas to get two people here than it does one (provided, of course, they’re in the same car!)
We’ve already had one request for a ride share from New Jersey. He’s got the car and bike carrier, he’s looking for a passenger to help share expenses.
So how about it. Anyone wanna share a ride?
