"...On the 18th of April in Twenty and Ten
The Northeast MIGs get together again..."
Ok, with my apologies to Longfellow, here is the announcement you've waited all winter for: The 235th Anniversary of Paul Revere's Ride!! Oh, no wait, it's the 11th Annual MIG Northeast Spring Kickoff Ride!!
Come on out for our 11th annual MIG Northeast Spring excursion. Enjoy a great ride through some of the Northeast's most beautiful scenery! Help us to celebrate 11 years of MIG Northeast rides.
The ride route will be a mix of some new and some favorite roads from previous years. If you've been on one of our runs before, you know what to expect. If not, come on out and meet with some of your fellow MIG members, bring a friend and be ready for a great time! There will be break stops and a stop for lunch, plenty of scenery and lots of great riding.
There is a gas station/Dunkin' Donuts across the street from the library, so fuel, caffeine and carbs are readily at hand. The library is easy to reach from all major highways. Directions and a Google Maps link are provided below.
All MIGs and friends are welcome, any brand of ride, just leave the attitude in the garage. Those of you who have been with us for one (or many) of our previous Fall and Spring rides know what a great bunch of folks the MIG are. I'm looking forward to seeing many old friends again and meeting some new ones as well!
