Hope you are having a great winter. I am an organizer of the fun and friendly Mass BikePike Tour, a charity ride for MassBike. Would you consider spreading the word to the BC cycling alums about this tour? We have everyone from current and ex-racers to just-returning-to-the-bike folks. I have pasted a short announcement below. I am getting the word out now not only because it’s fun to think of summer riding and warm weather, but also because of the early bird discount til the end of February!
Your alumni group will appreciate the Mass BikePike Tour because:
· It’s a GREAT use of limited vacation time! Most people only need to take 2-3 vacation days, depending on where they live.
· The Mass BikePike Tour is designed to satisfy all levels of riders, whether they’re new to riding or looking for a challenge
· It seriously is the Friendliest Ride in the East – plenty of time to visit tourist landmarks with new friends, or sample the local ice cream. A social hour wraps up each day of riding, and there are optional “field trips” during the evenings.
Thanks in advance, and please don’t hesitate to contact me with questions!

***short blurb***
Give us two vacation days – and we’ll give you a Massachusetts bicycle adventure!
The Mass BikePike Tour is a scenic bicycle tour celebrating all the best that Massachusetts has to offer! Taking place from August 1st to 4th, it is “The Friendliest Ride in the East” and is suitable for novice to experienced cyclists. It’s a GREAT use of limited vacation time - join us after work on Wednesday and we’ll enjoy the next four days of exploring on two wheels. You’ll return home Sunday afternoon with new friends and fun memories.
2013’s ride features the rolling hills and picturesque towns of north-central Massachusetts, from the Johnny Appleseed Trail to the Connecticut River Valley. The ride will also head north into Keene, NH, and (long ride only) Brattleboro, VT.
The Mass BikePike Tour offers two routes each day. The shorter route is between 25 and 45 miles and the longer route is between 45 and 70 miles.
Each evening features a pre-dinner “social hour”, and optional nightly field trips to local attractions. The Mass BikePike Tour is affordably priced – less than $400 if you sign up before March! – and proceeds go to the MassBike Coalition. There are some volunteer opportunities that will allow you to join us for free. For more information please visit www.massbikepike.org.
