Morning Y'all:
    Hope your 2019 has gotten off to a good start.

This is the information for the ETR that will be June 28-30 in NH. We know Dan and Chanda and sure they will do a great job. 

This rally has filled up in a few hours in the past.  So if you are interested be sure you're ready to sign up when the windows open up.

The good news:

Please join us for the 46th Eastern Tandem Rally to be held on Boston’s North Shore. We’re using a Sheraton Hotel for all the meals, dinner party, ice cream social, and business meeting (more on that later). Catered lunch Saturday is at a state park. These are the roads we ride regularly that gently roll through farmland and bedroom communities. We will have another Contra Dance Saturday night after the largely positive feedback from the dance in Hanover, NH’s ETR 2 years ago.

Rides of various lengths right from the hotel are available on Saturday and Sunday. Remote starts for those arriving Friday will explore the shoreline and marshland of Boston’s North Shore. The Four Points by Sheraton Wakefield Boston will offer reduced rates for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights when you mention the Rally.

Our weather should be comfortable and warm. I hope it’s dry!

REGISTRATION. We’re trying something different this year. The popularity of ETR often exceeds the capacity of the hotel ballroom for the Saturday evening dinner and festivities.  To accommodate the ballroom limitation of 125 teams at this years rally, we will offer two registration windows. Board members and event sponsors are guaranteed spots (hint, hint!).  The first window for online registration will be February 19th from 7pm until 70% filled. The second window will be February 21st from 7pm and remain open until the rally is full. This second window hopefully provides more flexibility to sign up.

ETR information can be found on the site at:  2019 ETR Information

Regarding the Business Meeting - Everyone is invited to attend. I encourage folks to attend, listen in, and offer any insight into changes they’d like to see with the organization. Change in registration was discussed and voted on at last year’s ETR business meeting.

The Board is all Volunteers. Event organizers are all volunteers. Let’s keep ETR going!!

The bad news:

Currently, there are no 2020 ETR proposals. These rallies only happen with you, the teams that enjoy riding tandems with other folks, step up and offer to showcase your favorite places to ride. Gather your friends. Get some support. We on the ETR board are available to help and have written resources available.

Please contact me by email or at the rally to discuss your ideas for next year’s ETR.

Thank you,
Dan and Chanda McKee, 2019 ETR event organizers
