NER’s Annual Spring Ramble is typically the region’s largest event of the year. Last year at The Otesaga Resort nearly 300 people enjoyed a weekend of good friends, good food, top-notch accommodations, and of course, lots of Porsche-worthy roads to travel. This year we’re looking forward to having both veteran Ramblers and first-timers join us at The Lodge at Spruce Peak in Stowe, VT from April 26-28. You can get all the details and visit the event page for sign up info here.
You’ll arrive Friday (or earlier at our attractive rate) for our evening Welcome Reception, and begin your social and partying activities before the serious driving commences on Saturday morning. You’ll traverse many memorable 2-lane country roads thru the mountainous terrain, traverse some creeks and rivers, and likely get up-close and personal with some covered bridges
After breakfast Saturday morning, drivers will head out on a navigational, directions-based tour (available on your phone using Ride with GPS again this year) for about 3 hours before reaching our lunch destination. Following the buffet lunch, there will be another slightly shorter circuitous ride back to The Lodge at Spruce Peak, or a more direct route for those wishing to avail themselves of that option.
We’ll meet Saturday evening for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres before enjoying our plated dinner dressed in festive attire. Sunday morning’s buffet breakfast will mark the official end of the 2023 Ramble, after which you’re on your own again to head home, or stay longer and enjoy the charms of Stowe and the surrounding area. Complete details for the Ramble will be published toward the end of December.
Mark your calendars and plan for one of the biggest NER events of the year!
