Appreciate the effort. I am flying into Boston on Saturday, mid morning arrival. The current plan is Bob Jenny is picking me up and I was going to stay with him Sat night and we would drive up to Stratton mid day Sunday. Bob can't make the BEast work. Given I've never ridden there I'd like to try to make it. So to make this work I would have to: find someone to grab my arse and gear (dakine concourse bag) near Boston later on Saturday, couch surf Sat night, get a ride to the BEast Sunday and afterward on to Stratton.
