Greetings, Sports fans!
A quick word for the uninitiated, and a reminder for those who have done this before:
While in NO WAY associated with, or authorized by the American Diabetes Association, the Tour de Cure, Employees, agents, volunteers and their second Cousins, there is in fact a “Beer fund” on the New England Classic, coordinated, picked up and often misappropriated by yours truly. I do not supply beer, you give me money, and I will go pick up what you like to drink for you- if I can’t get the exact brand, I try to get the same style. We’re all adults, Well, except Brad, and you’d likely die trying to schlep a case of Samuel Adams Summer Ale on your handlebars, so since it requires SO much less paperwork; I just go pick it up for you.
How it works: Give me money, tell me what kind of beer you like, and 90% of the time I will find it for you, but sometimes you’ll get Shipyard Summer instead of Sam Summer… You get the point.
You don’t have to buy a whole case or anything, just give me some money and enjoy an adult beverage or two- if you think you drank more than you contributed, then contribute more, and carry on.
Simple, right?
All that being said, I always try to stock up in NH, where the prices are 25% lower than neighboring states, so an initial contribution on Saturday AM is a huge boost… Sunday is restocking as is Monday, then a couple days in VT… If needed, there will be another stop on Thursday as we reenter NH.
And that’s pretty much it.
Destroy your legs, wreck your backside, and declare war on your liver- All in the same week!
Keep the wind at your back and the downhills in front of you,
GearMan
