In both cases\, it may take mo re than 1 card cycle for these credits to appear in your credit card accou nt.\nBut don't despair\, because on Wednesday January 20\, 2021\, we plan to open registration for the 2021 Ramble! Let's hope we've put Covid-19 in our collective rear view mirrors by that time\, so we can all enjoy our u sual large\, gregarious\, driving\, and sociable get-together in true Ramb le fashion.\nUntil then\, enjoy your Porsche\, and stay safe\,\nDennis and Carol Friedman\nRamblemeisters\n35th Annual New England Ramble\nNovember 8-10\, 2020      Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown\, NY\nNew registra tions will accepted as of May 4\, 2020\n\n\n\n\nWhy should you join us for NER’s First Fall Ramble (after 34 Spring Rambles)? It's simply the best way to end the driving season! 175+ Porsches (some Ramblers do occasional ly drive vehicles other than Porsches)\, good friends\, good food and a we ekend at a top-notch resort hotel. You’ll arrive Sunday (or earlier at o ur inviting rate)\, and begin your social and partying activities before t he serious driving commences on Monday morning.\n\nAfter last year’s tra velogue on Cape Cod\, this year’s 35th edition will be back to primarily driving on 2-lane country roads in the beautiful Catskill mountain area s outh of Cooperstown\, NY. Come experience secluded roads and scenic vistas that pass by rushing streams\, meandering rivers\, peaceful lakes\, and m ore than a few mountainsides. You may even have a chance to traverse a cov ered bridge or two along the way.\n\nOur Overall Event Sponsor is once aga in European Performance Engineering in Natick\, MA. Give these talented fo lks a call at (508) 651-1316 for anything from an oil change to a full str eet-to-track conversion. Or\, visit their website at www.epe.com.\n\nOn Su nday from 5:00–7:00 p.m.\, see old friends and meet some new PCA’ers a t the Welcome Reception – sponsored by Porsche of Warwick. We’ll be in the beautiful Rotunda and nearby Ballroom 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. Th ere are lots of restaurants to choose from in Cooperstown (reservations ar e recommended) offering various cuisines and price points\, or you can cho ose to eat on the property at the Hawkeye Bar &\; Grill\, or the 1909 f or finer dining.\n\nOn Monday morning\, registration will be open from 7:0 0–8:30 a.m. in the Small Glimmerglass room\, with continental breakfast continuing until 9:30 a.m. next door in the gracious Glimmerglass and Feni more dining rooms overlooking the lake. The mandatory drivers and passenge rs safety and route briefing will convene at 8:35 a.m.\, after which drive rs will head out on a navigational\, directions-based tour exploring the C atskill mountain area south of Cooperstown\, concluding at our lunch desti nation in Windham\, NY. \n\nFollowing the buffet lunch\, you’ll embark o n another navigational\, directions-based tour that will take you back to The Otesaga. Or\, if you prefer to return sooner to begin your partying\, get a massage (request your 15% discount at the Hawkeye Spa)\, hike\, shop \, or whatever\, simply take the more direct route that will also be provi ded.\n\nFor anyone joining us for the first time – a hearty welcome. You r registration packet will include a detailed route to and from our lunch stop\, that my wife Carol and I have traveled many times\, revising and co rrecting along the way. Unlike most PCA tours\, we drive on our own (not a s a convoy)\, though you’ll typically find yourself part of a multi-car pod. Make a pit stop\, or pull off to take a photo when you want\, and pic k up the next pod coming down the road. Want to spend time with some diffe rent Porsche models of varying configurations and colors? Just pull off an d join the next pod to come along. However\, if you decide to take an exte nded off-route excursion and the sweeper car passes you by\, you will have “officially” left the tour for insurance purposes.\n\nAt 6:00 p.m. Mo nday evening\, we’ll meet for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres back in the Rotunda and Ballroom\, followed by a plated dinner in the adjacent Glimme rglass and Fenimore dining rooms that begins at 7:30 p.m.\, and more socia lizing on your own after dinner. From 7:30–10:00 a.m. Tuesday morning\, a full\, hot\, buffet breakfast will be served back in the Glimmerglass\, after which you’re on your own again to head home\, or stay longer and e njoy the charms of upstate New York.\nRemember\, this is a Tour\, and we e xpect you to follow all the laws and regulations pertaining to the public roadways we’ll be traveling. We’ll be on many narrow\, 2-lane roads\, so please give pedestrians and bicyclers a wide berth. If you have the urg e to exercise your Porsche more fully\, we would highly recommend attendin g one of the many Driver’s Education or Autocross events hosted by the N ortheast Region. \nIMPRUDENT OR DANGEROUS DRIVING BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOL ERATED DURING THE RAMBLE.\n•The Sunday rate is for your room only and in cludes all taxes and fees.
