Jun. 13 to Sunday Jun. 15 | The Eastern Tandem Rally, Inc would like to invite you to join us on
the weekend of June 13,14,15 of 2008 to attend the MATES '08 tandem
cycling rally. This year we will be exploring central western New
Jersey in and around the Flemington area. The routes are a combination
of rolling farmlands and the longer rides venture up into the hills
of Warren and Somerset Counties. The host hotel is the Hampton Inn
in Flemington (link below) at the junction of Routes 31 and 202.
http://www.hamptoninn.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=FMGNJHX The area is very amenable to tandem riding and we like to have fun. This is a small, intimate event limited to 40 teams. Early registration is highly suggested. Event hosts are Mark Cook and Cheryl Prudhomme with several additional couples from the Doubles of the Garden State on the committee (http://D-O-G-S.org). For additional information contact them at markscook@gmail.com. |
