61 Days and Counting...
We're getting closer! In honor of the 61 day mark, here are 10 reasons you should ride the Three Notches with us:
1. It's for a great cause
2. The White Mountains truly are one of the most beautiful places on earth (in our opinion) and it doesn't get much better than September.
3. You will ride and socialize with fantastic people.
4. It's challenging - who doesn't need a challenge!?
5. If you start training by riding your bike to work, you will save on gas money.
6. You can "techno detox" - no cell phone, no TV, no computer
7. Great views, fresh air, good food
8. Get a free massage when you're done!
9. It's good for your mind, body and spirit
10. You CAN do it!

Happy Summer!
Now that summer is officially here, it's REALLY time to START training and fundraising. Seriously. September will be here before we know it. Today is the perfect day to hop on the bike and get going!
Northeast Passage's official first training day is July 17. We invite you to come to Durham, NH and ride with us! Rides start in the evening at the Northeast Passage office. We will continue training through August. If you need motivation, this is the perfect setting. We're in this together!
Also, it's not too early to sign up for the ride! Several folks are already getting a jump start on their fundraising. Visit www.firstgiving.com/nepassage to sign up today! Remember, you are eligible for GREAT prizes - including RED SOX tickets and more!
Here's a tip to get you started:
*Form a team to ride and fundraise together
Team up with friends, neighbors, coworkers, family, etc...and commit to train, ride and fundraise together. We have found that creating a competition amongst the Northeast Passage staff gets our family and friends involved, it's fun for everyone, and it makes it much less intimidating! We have consistently raised over $5,000 by doing it together.

Kick Off Party!
Greetings Three Notchers!
It's officially spring in New England and, even though it's raining today, we're getting ready to kick it into high gear and start preparing for the Three Notch event in September (yes, we're serious). We hope you will join us on TUESDAY, MAY 20 at the Portsmouth Gas Light restaurant (3rd Floor) for food and fun. We see this as a great opportunity to meet other riders, learn about the ride and get pumped! We will be there from 6-9pm, eating pizza and planning strategy for training and fundraising. There is no fee for this event and no RSVP required. We hope to see you there!!
On another note, please let us know if there's anything you would like to see on this blog. We are taking suggestions! We have great ideas that will be posted in the near future, including: nutrition tips, bike maintenance and preparation, fundraising tips and tricks, etc...
