Why

The comradre of a group ride is awesome and the Boston to NY Route is epic! With a bike mounted GPS, some lightwieght gear, and the need to push things to the next level - I want to see what I can do! Do you?

Logistics

From farm stands and coffee shops to gas station bodegas, there are plently of "rest stops" along the way. Stay hydrated, get your salt and electrolytes, eat!

Ride at your own pace. Have your phone for emergencies. Stay alert, be prepared, adapt to your conditions. Keep your ID, cash and credit card on you.

I'm staying at the Monticello Inn Framingham in Framingham and the Super 8 by Windham in Old Saybrook. You can book there, stay somewhere else, grab a tent, whatever... we're on our own!
