TNR Schedule for 2007

Hooray! Spring is finally here...

Alright, Spring is definitely not here, but I am diligently working on the TNR schedule for this year. The first ride is scheduled for this coming Tuesday, April 10th at 5:30(leaving at 5:45). This will be a Show & Go starting at the Retreat Pull-Off. Distance 15-20 miles out and back. The Retreat Pull-Off is immediately north of the Brattleboro Retreat on Route 30 opposite Cedar Street.

The remainder of this year's TNR schedule will appear on the Club's Google calendar. See the button on the right.

And just who is writing this post?

Pedr Seymour. You can pronounce my first name however you'd like. I was raised in Dummerston, escaped for 15 years to attend school and college and returned in '96 to eventually marry another native, Rebecca McBroom. We have 2 young kids and live in Brattleboro. I'll divulge the rest from my saddle when Spring finally arrives.

This weekend I'll be organizing the schedule and wrangling with the club's mass email distribution.

TNR Planning Meeting April

It's time to meet to plan the Tuesday Night Ride Schedule for the year - we are meeting at 6.30 pm April 3 at the Marina Restaurant, 230 Main St., Brattleboro. All interested riders welcome!

Montreal to Boston Stage Race

There is a major pro race coming to Vermont this year: The 8 day Montreal to Boston Stage race. Some UCI ProTour teams, including T-Mobil, will be entered, plus major domestic US teams, and some national teams. The toughest day is the fifth stage, Aug 9, which will run from Jay Peak to Sugarbush.

Anyone interested in a trip up there? We could ride the route, and stop at whatever seems to be the decisive climb to
watch the pros climb.

Here is a link to a VeloNews article about the event.

Anyone planning to ride this weekend?
