New England Randonneurs

Registration for the 600k and 2x200k should be going live tomorrow (Monday, July 26th). We’ve set up a waitlist and should be able to move people off it as we book more rooms; please go ahead and register if you’re planning to ride so we can make sure everyone who wants one has a room; if you’re on the waitlist we’ll double-check before moving you off that you can still make it.

Anyone choosing the double-occupancy NER-booked rooms for the 2x200k or 600k must be vaccinated, for the safety of your roommate.

On September 11-12, NER will be hosting a 600k and back-to-back 200ks (Saturday and Sunday). The first of the two 200ks will also be a special celebration of 100 years of Randonneuring in the go-at-your-own-pace (allure libre) style, and there will be a special medal available.

Because of hotel booking and preordering medals, we need to get an approximate count of attendees. Please fill out the Google Form if you think you’d be interested in any part of either event, so that we can plan for the right number of people.

The Portland Express/Daytrip 400k and 200k are in a week, and final adjustments have been made to the cue sheet (hopefully riders will have a slightly less damp experience than the pre-ride did).

We are actively looking for volunteers in Portland at the turnaround or in Woburn at the finish. If you can help out, please contact Sarah or Tsun (use the RBA option on the contact NER form if you don’t already have our contact info.)

Registration closes TOMORROW (July 5th) at midnight — if you’re going to sign up, now’s the time: go to BikeReg and sign up. Yes, as several people have asked, registration is free!
