New England Randonneurs

200k Day Of Event Registration

Jake Kassen — Wed, 01 May 2013 19:30:48 +0000

If you rode the rescheduled 100k, results have been posted on the event page.

MA 200k News:

If you would like to ride the upcoming MA200k and did not register online or via mail, no problem! Simply download and complete the MA200k DOE registration form and bring it to the event start with your $30 fee — this is the $25 reg fee plus a $5 surcharge for DOE. (We have blank copies of this form at the start but it helps us greatly if riders fill the form out on their computers and bring this version to us.)

Also, an updated preliminary MA200k cue sheet has been posted for riders to download and print out, though the official version will be distributed at the start.

VT 200k News:

If you’d like to ride the VT200k, online registration is open until Wednesday evening before the event. But if you don’t get a chance to register online, you can download and print the May VT 200k DOE registration form and bring it with you to the start. Hint: Want to save money? Pre-register now and avoid paying the DOE surcharge.

April 20th 100k canceled; ride rescheduled for April 27th!

Jake Kassen — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:50:53 +0000

Important: Due to the security incidents currently affecting the Boston area, we have decided to postpone the 100k until April 27th. We apologize to anyone who was planning on riding our season opener on April 20th but we can not be assured that our start location of Hanscom Civil Airport parking lot will be available and accessible for the event with the heightened security in the region. This is only the second time in nearly 20 years NER has had to postpone an event.

Please check back here during the week for more information regarding the 100k on April 27th. The start location will be Hanscom Field Civil Parking lot at 8am; same as it always has been. If you preregistered for the 100k and can not make the rescheduled date, please contact us for a $10 credit toward a future event. Everyone who registered for the 100k will be automatically registered for the April 27th running of the event.

Some riders have expressed an intrest in having an informal social ride to Stealing, MA tomorrow (April 20th) starting from an alternate location. Check out our google group for more information.

Mid April 2013 News

Jake Kassen — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:29:11 +0000

Boston 100k: Online registration for the 100k this Saturday ends Wednesday, April 17th at 11:45pm. Miss the cut off for online reg? No problem! Please download the Day-of-Event registration form for the 100k, fill it out on your computer, print, and sign it. Then bring it with you to the start at Hanscom field. We’ll have blank forms at the start but it helps if you come to the event with the form filled out.

Boston 200k: We have a modified route for 2013 which packs in even more back roads and scenery. The preliminary cue sheet as well as info regarding the informational control is posted on the 200k event page.

We are still looking for a few volunteers for the 200k so please contact NER’s volunteer coordinator if you can help out. Volunteers get to pre-ride the event for credit as well as getting a free NER membership and rides in 2014.

Portland Fleche: Just two weeks remain to get your team together and plan a route — entries are due on May 1st. One important change: Emily O’Brien will be stepping in as coordinator while I’m (Jake) am out of the country in early May. The mailing address for the entry forms is the same but if you need to contact Emily about your entry you can do so at Emily -at- emilysdomain -dot- org.

When Fleche planning save room for a delicious brunch the Sunday after the ride in Portland.

Boston 300k: Links to a very preliminary route have been posted on the 300k page. This is a ride you won’t want to miss as the route has changed considerably from last year. In 2013 we’re headed out to Northfield before turning South and riding down the Connecticut river and continuing back to Hanscom through the backroads of Leverett MA. For those who fondly remember the pre-2007 Boston 400k, this route will bring back good memories.

Upcoming Events

Jake Kassen — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:03:07 +0000

We have a few late-additions to the NER Boston April Calendar, thanks for NER’s friends Pamela Blalock and Ride Studio Cafe.

First and formost, we’re having a party at RSC on April 13th! All are welcome. More info here or RSVP directly on the RSC event page.

Also, Pamela is looking for riders to join her on a 100k permanent starting RSC on April 7th. If you are looking to get some early season RUSA credit (or just have a fun ride) you can contact her at permanents -at- blayleys -dot- com by Friday, April 5 and she’ll send you the info.

Here is her announcement from the mailing list:

I will be riding my new Permanent Populaire to MIT Haystack Observatory next Sunday, April 7, starting at 10:30AM from Ride Studio Cafe in Lexington MA.

RUSA members who’d like to join me for this permanent, please email permanents -at- blayleys -dot- com by Friday, April 5. I will then send you the route sheet, and GPS link by email and bring route cards to the start. You will also need to sign a release at the start.

I have created a few permanents from RSC. I’m slowly submitting them for approval. In a few months, there will be many more available, mostly populaires with a few 200km+ distance.

For more info on Permanants, check out NER’s permanants page.

NER / RSC Kick Off Party – April 13th

Jake Kassen — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:46:49 +0000

Thanks to NER’s friends Ride-Studio-Cafe and Pamela Blalock, we’re having a Randonneuring party and ride on April 13th, 2013 6-9pm. The party will be at Ride-Studio-Cafe on Mass Ave in Lexington, MA.

Visit the RSC Event page for more info and a link to RSVP.

All are invited to the party, though riders wishing to ride the 100k permanent for RUSA credit need to email Pamela (permanents -at- blayleys -dot- com) before the event. The ride is being offered as permanent — a route which can be ridden at any time and coordinated by the route owner.

The party is open to everyone and is a great chance to come and meet your fellow riders off-bike and enjoy some snacks as well. We’ll discuss the upcoming season and hopefully will have a few special guests to give their insights into the sport. Even if you don’t ride long distances, come to the party to see some cool bikes and hang out with some cool people.

Here is more information directly from Pamela’s announcement:

Hey, it’s spring! Time to start ramping up the mieage!

Ride Studio Cafe in Lexington will be hosting a season kickoff party the following Saturday, April 13 from 6-9PM. I will be riding my Permanent Populaire to Blue Moon that day starting at noon, and would love company. RUSA members wanting to ride officially (get a route card) should email permanents -at- blayleys -dot- com prior to April 11.

2013 Registration Now Open!

Jake Kassen — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:53:32 +0000

Online and mail-in registration is now open for all 2013 NER events in MA and VT. Click the “Event Calendar” link above to find links to the specific BikeReg pages where both members and non-members can go to pre-register for events. Event prices have stayed the same but there have been a few changes to start times.

If you wish to register via mail and save the BikeReg processing fee ($3) we have a editable PDF you can download, print out, and mail in with a check. Please fill the form out on the computer before printing if possible — there are less chances for typos if we don’t have to read your handwriting.

Our membership policies have changed slightly. Read all about it on the Membership Information page. You can become an NER member online right now — no volunteer requirement needed though it’s still highly encouraged.

Fleche Information: Once again the fleche has a Portland designation as it did last year. Five teams participated in 2012 and everyone had a great time. We hope to have even more teams this year so start forming groups and planning routes. Applications due on May 1st, 2013. More info on the Fleche Info page.

Welcome New Board Members

Jake Kassen — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:39:07 +0000

We are pleased to announce several vacancies and new positions on the NER Board have been filed.

Membership Director: Jon Doyle. Jon will be helping plan member events, coordinating member communications, and answering questions related to membership.

Equipment Manager(s): Dan Greene and Bruce MacDonald. Dan and Bruce are taking on the important task of looking after NER’s Boston inventory of gear used to support the events. Think of them the next time you cut into a watermelon, fill your bottles, and lounge in a chair at a control.

Please be sure to thank these volunteers when you see them on rides.

NER is looking for an Equipment Manager!

Jake Kassen — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:01:50 +0000

It takes a surprising amount of gear to run a fully supported Brevet: tables, chairs, tents, water jugs, bins, serving utensils, and of course food. Keeping all this gear organized can be challenging which is why we are looking for an Equipment Manager for our Boston area (Concord, MA) supplies.

The Equipment Manager would be responsible for visiting our supply shed before and after events and making sure the equipment is clean, organized, and in good working order. Ride leaders will work with the Equipment Manager to make sure they are ready for the event. When equipment becomes worn the Equipment Manager will find suitable replacements. (NER covers all costs.)

The person taking on this role will be helping your fellow riders considerably. This is a great way to be an active volunteer while still having your weekends free to ride the events yourself. You’ll get a free NER membership too. There isn’t much of a time commitment (~1 hour before and after each event) and the schedule will be up to you. The storage shed is in Concord, MA so this is ideal for someone who lives in the Western MA suburbs. The is an NER board member position so you’ll have a say in the future of the organization.

If you are interested in taking on this role please contact NER’s Volunteer Coordinator, Emily O’Brien by going to the contact page and selecting “Volunteer Coordinator”.

Bruce’s Birthday Ride 2013

The below is a repost from the NER Google Group

I [Bruce Ingle] will be hosting my 12th annual birthday ride and party February 24, 2013. The ride starts at the Framingham town green at 10:30 and has 20 and 35 mile options available; the party will be afterward at my house (10 Irene). I’ll be at the ride start and party, but won’t be riding this year.

If you’re just up for the party, I expect some riders will start showing up around noon.

The ride is a CRW ride, but all are welcome. More details at:

I hope to see you there!

thanks, Bruce [NER RBA]
