This month we decided to rev things up at our chapter meeting. Not only are we changing our meeting date and time to Sunday afternoon, but we are going change our venue to X1 Boston (formally F-1) on Wood Road in Braintree.

We will provide some appetizers, discuss mountain biking, our parks, the NEMBA summit on the Cape in April, and formalizing and celebrating our newest SEMass at-large board members.

X1 if you’re not familiar is an indoor kart racing track facility. It’s REALLY FUN! Almost as fun as riding your bike! It’s optional, but a great way to get your adrenaline going before the meeting...

If you want to race, read on...

X1 has discounted admission in February at $25 for 18 and older licensed drivers. You must present the X1 coupon which can be found on the X1 Boston Facebook page. Registration, instruction, waivers, gear, track time (10-15 minutes) and wrap-up takes about an hour. If you want to ride before the meeting, try to start by 2:30. If you want to ride after the meeting, you cannot consume any alcohol.

We'll hold our meeting in the Ascari Bar and Grille within the facility and then maybe move over to the Billiards room after we adjourn. All members and prospective members welcome. The more the merrier. Please join us.

Late breaking details will be posted on this Facebook page. Read more about SE MA NEMBA Meeting & Kart Race
