03
When should I arrive?
We recommend using Thursday as a travel day to get to the venue, then you'll have all day Friday and Saturday to rack up the miles exploring some of the best roads in New England.
You may find that if you arrive Friday or Saturday any time after the morning that there may not be many people around; they're out riding! Be sure to arrive as early as possible if you are coming for Friday or Saturday so you can head out with those who plan to rack up the miles for the day. See the Agenda and Ride Maps pages for more information.

What should I bring?
Bring all your friends! Bring a fun attitude with all your riding gear, including rain gear as we do get the occasional shower during the weekend. If you're so inclined, bring some of your favorite cigars too.
Bring your significant others and family as well! There are plenty of activities and amenities at the hotel including a heated pool, spa, sauna, and gym. In addition, there are some great sights to see all around the area and plenty of interesting shops in the neighboring towns.
