 \;The best way to start the driving season!  \;150+ Porsches (some Ramblers do drive vehicles other than Porsches)\, good friends\, go od food and a weekend at a top-notch resort hotel. \; You’ll arrive Friday (or earlier at our attractive rate)\, and begin your social and par tying activities before the serious driving commences on Saturday morning.  \;\nThis year’s 35th edition will be a little different. \; Us ually\, we primarily drive on 2-lane country roads in rural New England an d upstate New York. \; This year will be more of a Cape Cod travelogue . \; Come experience secluded roads and scenic vistas that you never k new were there as we traverse the entirety of Cape Cod from Provincetown t o Woods Hole.\nOur Overall Event Sponsor is once again European Performanc e Engineering in Natick\, MA. \; Give these talented folks a call at ( 508) 651-1316 for anything from an oil change to a full street-to-track co nversion. \; Or visit their website at www.epe.com.\nOn Friday from 6: 00–7:15 p.m.\, see old friends and meet some new PCA’ers at the Welcom e Reception –  \;sponsored by Porsche of Warwick. \; We’ll be at the Beach House serving complimentary hors d’oeuvres and snacks along with a cash bar. \; So please stop by\, pick up your name badge\, and say hello before you head out for dinner on your own. \; There are lo ts of great restaurants in Chatham and surrounding towns (reservations are recommended) offering various cuisines and price points\, or you can choo se to eat on the property at The Sacred Cod tavern\, or Stars Restaurant f or finer dining. \; Since Stars has limited opening hours outside the summer season\, call \;the Concierge Desk at (508) 945-0096 to book re servations.\nOn Saturday morning\, registration will be open from 7:00–8 :30 a.m. in the Monomoy Meeting House\, with continental breakfast continu ing until 9:30 a.m. \; The mandatory drivers and passengers safety and route briefing will convene at 8:35 a.m.\, after which drivers will head out on a navigational\, directions-based tour exploring the Lower and Oute r Cape all the way to Provincetown\, concluding at our lunch destination i n Yarmouth\, MA. \;\nFollowing the buffet lunch\, you’ll embark from our Mid-Cape lunch stop and experience the Upper Cape on another navigati onal\, directions-based tour. \; Your afternoon drive will pass thru s ecluded and beautiful residential neighborhoods\, enjoying lots of twisty roads\, and seeing bodies of water large and small as we wind our way back to the Chatham Bars Inn. \; Or\, if you prefer to return sooner to be gin your partying\, get a massage (request your 15% discount at the Spa)\, hike\, shop\, or whatever\, simply take the more direct route that will a lso be provided.\nFor anyone joining us for the first time – a hearty we lcome.  \;Your registration packet will include a detailed route to an d from our lunch stop\, that my wife Carol and I have travelled many times \, revising and correcting along the way.  \;Unlike most PCA tours\, w e drive on our own (not as a convoy) though usually you’ll find yourself part of a multi-car pod.  \;Make a pit stop\, or pull off to take a p hoto when you want\, and pick up the next pod coming down the road.  \ ;Want to spend time with some different Porsche models of varying configur ations and colors? \; Just pull off and join the next pod to come alon g. \; However\, if you decide to take an extended off-route excursion and the sweeper car passes you by\, you will have “officially” left th e tour for insurance purposes.\nAt 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening\, we’ll me et for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the South Lounge (next to the lob by)\, followed by a plated dinner in Stars Restaurant (which will be close d to the public) that begins at 7:30 p.m.\, and more socializing on your o wn after dinner.  \;From 7:30–10:00 a.m. Sunday morning\, a full\, h ot\, buffet breakfast will be served in Stars Restaurant\, after which you ’re on your own again to head home\, or stay longer and enjoy the charms of Cape Cod.\nRemember\, this is a Tour\, and we expect you to follow all the laws and regulations pertaining to the public roadways we’ll be tra veling. \; We’ll be on many narrow\, 2-lane roads\, so please give p edestrians and bicyclers a wide berth. \; If you have the urge to exer cise your Porsche more fully\, we would highly recommend attending one of the many Driver’s Education or Autocross events hosted by the Northeast Region.  \;Imprudent or dangerous driving behavior will not be tolerat ed during the Ramble.\n\n The Friday rate is for your room only and includ es all taxes and fees. Subject to availability\, this same rate applies fo r 3 pre &\; post Ramble nights should you wish to extend your stay.\n\n \n The Saturday Package Rate includes your room\, Saturday cocktail hour w ith hors d’oeuvres (cash bar after you’ve used your 1 drink ticket/per son)\, Saturday night dinner (jackets for men)\, Sunday morning hot breakf ast buffet\, and all service charges\, gratuities and taxes.\n\n\n The res ort fee is included in the room rate and includes free wireless internet\, the fitness center\, complimentary coffee and newspapers in the lobby\, a nd parking.\n\n\n Your registration fee covers the Friday Welcome Receptio n with hors d’oeuvres and snacks (cash bar)\, Saturday’s continental b reakfast\, Saturday’s lunch\, your 2019 commemorative Ramble pin\, magne tic plastic name badges\, and the other costs incurred in organizing and r unning the Ramble.\n\n\n Unless you like being on a waitlist\, register fo r one of the 150 rooms in our block as soon as you receive your registrati on confirmation.
