Howdy, Hey, Hi, Howaya?
For those of you traveling to the New England Classic “From away”, and staying in either the Red Roof Inn or the Hampton Inn just down the street… We have a time honored tradition (And who are we to buck tradition?!?!) of meeting fellow riders, volunteers, and in some cases, spouses or parents for some munchies and a few “Sociables” at the On The Border, which is literally right next door to the Red Roof. We won’t be closing the place or anything, just making new friends.
Here’s how it works:
Since they don’t take reservations, put on a cycling themed t-shirt, walk into the restaurant and ask the Host/Hostess if there is a group of cyclists seated somewhere. We’re usually there by 7:00, and they usually know where… (There was that one time…) Come on over, introduce yourself, and you can make new friends almost 12 hours sooner than everyone else gets a chance to make new friends!
New friends AND Margaritas? That’s just plain awesome right there.
And who knows- Those burritos might just help you up a hill the next day.

Keep the wind at your back and the downhills in front of you,
GearMan.
