2018 WATERVILLE VALLEY KILLER BEE RIDEThe Ride
This year’s (34th annual!) Waterville Valley Ride will take place April 28 (East Concord to Waterville Valley) and April 29 (return). As in years past, we will be staying at the Snowy Owl Inn, and have again been promised a hearty and diverse menu for our Saturday evening buffet dinner at the Waterville Valley Conference Center. Please read this description of the 2018 Ride carefully, as there are a number of changes from previous years.
Departure Point
Take I-93 North to Exit 16; turn right at the top of the exit ramp; proceed straight through the next intersection (Mobil Station) up the hill (Shawmut Street) for 3.2 miles. GPS: 263 Oak Hill Road, Concord NH 03301. Typically, after checking in for the Ride, riders leave between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. The last departing sag wagon carrying luggage will leave at 9:30 a.m., and any riders leaving after that time will be responsible for getting their own luggage to the Snowy Owl.
As in the past, this year's “package” will include:
1) sag wagon support up and back; 2) cold (or hot, as appropriate) “porch drinks” upon arrival at the Snowy Owl; 3) Killer Bee social hour (cash bar); 4) Saturday evening buffet dinner (with awards, door prizes, etc.); 5) entry in the post-dinner raffle (including for the S&W Sports 2018 Trek Domane); 6) Snowy Owl overnight lodgings; and 7) Sunday morning getaway breakfast.

Single Room Option
In response to popular demand, we have again set aside a limited number of rooms that may be taken up as “single” rooms (i.e., ONE PERSON ONLY). All included cost: $190. These rooms are not subject to the 15% “Early Bird” discount (see below), and may be reserved strictly on a “first come, first served” basis.
Early Bird Discount
Late registrations complicate immensely the smooth administration of the Ride, including in particular the process of reserving Snowy Owl rooms and meals for the Saturday evening dinner. Accordingly, again this year ALL REGISTRANTS WHOSE CHECKS ARE SENT (POSTMARKED) BY MARCH 15 MAY DEDUCT 15% FROM THE RATES SET FORTH ABOVE (discount not available for “Single Room Option”). If the Ride is cancelled because of inclement weather or for any other reason -- which has happened only once in 33 years! -- all checks will be returned. Participants registering after April 1 cannot be assured of overnight accommodations at the Snowy Owl, because we have a limited number of rooms reserved. When those rooms have been filled, we are not likely to be able to reserve additional rooms.
How to Register
If you plan to participate in this year's Ride, send me a confirmation e-mail ([email protected]) indicating the number and names of the people in your party, as well as the “tariff” categories in which members of your group fall. Please also indicate any rooming preference(s), and forward a check payable to me in the appropriate amount to the following address:
Irvin D. Gordon 63 Roberts Road Contoocook NH 03229
PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT OR SEND MONEY TO THE SNOWY OWL, AS ALL ROOMS AND MEALS CHARGES ATTHE SNOWY OWL ARE HANDLED THROUGH A SINGLE REGISTRATION, ON A SINGLE CREDIT CARD (MINE).
Sag Wagon Drivers
We need 5-6 sag wagon volunteers to drive participants' overnight luggage to the Snowy Owl on Saturday, and back on Sunday. Sag wagon drivers will have $50 of their registration fee refunded, following the loading of vehicles for theSunday return.
Awards
The Ride recognizes annually the youngest, the most “mature,” the fastest, and the most “distant” rider. We will again award the Munro Proctor, Sulloway & Hollis, S&W Sports and Dennise Maslakowski trophies, respectively, recognizing riders in those categories.
