Bike Friday calendar of events

Read the inaugural 2007 event report

The inaugural 2007 rally was a blast! Here is an event especially for our SatRDay owners. John and Ann Hoyt invite recumbent riders, especially SatRDay owners, to a weekend rally based at their divine cottages by the sea. John says: My wife and I would like to host you folks in September at our cottages in Rye. Rides will vary from 17 miles to 45 miles to a lot longer if you wish and all sorts of combinations in between. Portsmouth is just an 20 minute ride by bike from here and it's quite the quaint town (lots of restaurants and shopping). York and Ogunquit Maine are about 20 - 30 minutes by car or an hour by bike. Again, lots of restaurants and shopping. Our rocky coast is a great place to relax and read or just gaze or whatever. A good place to just get a feel for this area is the Official NH guide book go to the seacoast region. Our web site is www.hoytslodges.com . Special cottage rate for attendees. Call us or better yet, come on by, park here for the day, and check out the coast. [Editor's note: John and Ann are two of the coolest and nicest people you are every likely to meet in your life, ever - the Gal] Permalink: http://www.bikefriday.com/events/ryerecumbent
