Eastern Tandem Rally?
Hi,
My wife and I are signed up for the Eastern Tandem Rally https://www.easterntandemrally.org/ (August 5 to Sunday August 7). Has anyone been to one? Anyone from Massachusetts going?
Thanks!

Sorry, have never attended ETR. Have attended many MTRs, STRs, NWTR, SWTRs, and even a Canadian TR, among many others.
All have one thing in common: they are FUN!
Pedal on TWOgether!

As for riders from Mass., we met two or three couples from Mass. who I believe are "regulars" at ETR events. In fact, two of the couples are headed this way in April to catch the Tour de Georgia. We hope to cross paths with them at one or two of the mountain stages.
Anyway, it suffices to say, a good rally is one that is well organized with nice accommodations, good food, and nice routes with some local points of interest tied into the weekend. The difference between a good rally and a great rally -- cost notwithstanding -- are the weather and most importantly of all the interesting people whom you'll meet there and perhaps find added to your list of tandem friends.

Rode tandem in Frederick, MD at the Fall Foliage Frolic back in 1977: Rained all weekend! Could be a regional thing for cycling weekends in Frederick?
But, made the best of it!
