Start Change Expected for Green Mountain 200km

March 20, 2025

Hi folks,

Please expect the start of Green Mountain 200km to change from Middlesex Park and Ride to Waterbury Park and Ride (essentially you travel 1 less or 1 more exit on I-89 depending on direction).  This is also intended so the ride will end at either a hotel/motel lobby/courtyard nearby or at the Shaw’s on Rt 100 with in eye sight of the Park and Ride.  As always, carpooling to start/finish is highly encouraged and this is also try to lessen the demand of parking at the start since there are so many fine lodging available within a stone throw distance of the start/finish.

Also please expect slightly “dirtier” version of bakery brevet will be offered.  We are going to change few aspects of the route choice to provide hopefully even lower traffic roads and may be more Gorge-ous view (there is a very obvious pun here for the Captain Obvious among us).  Stay tune.

NER Discussion Group & Mailing List

February 10, 2025

NER members and volunteers occasionally post updates, news, and other discussions about rides to a Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/ne-randonneurs/ For example, there was a recent post about the upcoming Fleche and Trace on May 17th.

The discussions are public and riders are encouraged to view the group periodically. We invite people to join/subscribe and post new topics or questions. If you’d like to join and have a google (gmail) account, log into that first and go to the group link above. There will be a “Ask to join” button at the top of the page if you are logged into Google. In the request form, please type “Brevets” or “Randonneuring” so we know you aren’t a spammer.

If you do not have a google account, you can still join using a non-gmail email address. Please email Jake (jakekassen -at- gmail -dot- com) from that address and ask to join the list and a invitation will be sent.
