FRIDAY AUGUST 8TH
Our ride HQ office at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst will be open starting at noon. Come on by for a free cold drink or some friendly help.
If you're room is ready you can check-in; if it's not ready yet, you can leave your luggage with us if you wish.
We'll have a short relaxed escorted ride at 2:30 p.m. for ice cream. About 21 miles total.
Back in time for dinner at the college dining commons -- picked by the Princeton Review year after year as the best in the country!
Pay for your own ice cream (cheap) and dinner (less than $20 for all you can eat), but otherwise this day is FREE.
NOTE: Friday is free if you are signed up for the Saturday or Sunday ride. You can't show up for ONLY Friday and ride for free. (We are generous but not insane).

SATURDAY AUGUST 9TH
This is the main ride day. Start-line breakfast, great rest stops, routes from 25 - 100 miles, full S.A.G. support, post-ride farm meal, beer, pie, more pie...
$225
ARE YOU UNDER 30 YEARS OLD? Your price is $115. Yes, we are going to ask for I.D. when you show up.

POST-RIDE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AUGUST 10TH
After the big ride stick around for our Saturday Night Dorm Party (Margaritas, beer, more food, assorted stupidity...)
OPTIONAL: We've had folks ask us if they can host some of the party in their dorm suite or outside on the lawn. If you have an idea for a party theme, we'll foot the bill. (The Whiskey Bar, the Salty Snacks HQ, The Tiki Bar, The Parisian Cafe...) The dorm party last year was so much fun I think we should just skip all this silly bike riding this year and head straight to the party.
Note that if you want nothing to do with the Dorm Party just let us know and we'll make sure that your room is far from all the fun.
On Sunday we'll have start-line breakfast plus lots of pocket food you can take with you for today's rides. Several marked shorter routes with full S.A.G. support, an escorted 40-mile ride, or skip riding and head into town. Free luggage storage if you need to check out early.
$75.00
SO... which days do you want to ride?
