NEMBA Roast & Ride ....time?

[huff'npuff]

This may be a dumb question,but if someone's going just for the day.....when would be a good time to show up?

North to NH on a Saturday its a good idea to go as early as possible. If the NEMBAfest was any indicator, the parking will be all used up by 9am. If you must come later then wait till at least 10:02:27am to leave the house but no later then 10:14:33 and have a nice picnic lunch there. Remember not to go out biking till 1/2 hour after eating, you might get a cramp.

I would say if you arrive anytime between 9:30AM and 11AM you'll be fine. Any later, then you might need to cut your ride short. Prize raffle starts at 2PM & the roast @ 3PM (tentatively. Updates are sent to preregistered people)

Drive time obviously varies on where you live and when you leave. I've made the trip from Concord, MA in an hour, but I drive like I'm from MA. That weekend will most likely have more traffic than usual, so give yourself ample time and start early.

Also for a last week plug:
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED BY MAY 31'rst! (we need an semi-accurate headcount for the caterers, so if tons of people are waiting to register the day of, please reconsider and send in your registration forms now. I don't want to turn people away. )

All right stupid question, is there a link or something so I can register and pay online at this late date? Someone told me that there was a way to pay through Paypal.....
Thanks

Yes, I have a basic Paypal account with my email, Massmtnbikn@yahoo.com.

If you want to send in the money and follow up with your registration form, that will be fine, otherwise send them both in via mail today.
