It is now less than 100 days until the New England Classic rolls out of Woburn to make a fund-raising loop around the region for the ADA. The sooner you sign up to ride, the sooner you can start raising funds to fight diabetes and be a part of a fabulous cycling event.

Start today and be at the start line in July

This year promises to be better than ever with new destinations, tweaks to the route and a commitment to raise record funds for the ADA. Don’t miss your chance to ride along with the internationally famous New England Classic Caravan of Crazies.

Get in shape! Have fun! Help the ADA and the nearly 24 million Americans who battle diabetes every day of their life! What could be better?

So sign up today and get out there riding your bike and raising funds. You’ll be glad you did.

Hiya Kids!
Well, “Soon” is rapidly becoming “Now”, and while many of you are either in, or are about to be in transit, SOME of you have already arrived- For those who will be staying at the Red Roof or Hampton Inn, we have a little unofficial “Meet and Greet” at the Mexican Restaurant right next door to the Red Roof (Within sight of the Hampton Inn) that starts at roughly 8:00 PM, after the advance Registration at Parker Chomerics ends.
We do a little extra “Carbo-Loading” (Liquid form) after the pasta dinner, and have some fun and laughs (And great munchies) as we get to know each other better, as well as welcome those who arrived too late to make the advanced registration/pasta dinner… We won’t be closing the place, but we’ll be hanging out for a little while.
For veterans, wear an old NEC T-Shirt, for newcomers, wear a cycling themed T-Shirt, or put a couple hours of use to the one we just gave you… It helps us identify each other, break the ice, and get the official “Howdy-Doodies” out of the way in a fun, relaxed, social setting.

We have built it.
You are coming.
You’re going to wish it didn’t have to end.

See ya soon!
GearMan
