The Boston Stranglers are happy to invite our scootering pals back to the wilds of Saugus Mass for our yearly rally. This years rally will again be held at Camp Nihan from Friday June 12th - Sunday June 14th. If you've been before, you know what to expect. If not, rest up your liver, make sure your scoot is running strong, shave your nether regions, and prepare for an awesome weekend.
Beginning at 4pm on Friday June 12th, scooterists from all over the world will begin arriving at Camp Nihan in Saugus, Mass (about a half hour scoot north of Boston). There will be visiting, rejoicing, DJs, a roaring fire, and undoubtably a scooter run for food and soda pop. There are several group cabins available for those who don't get along with nature. If a cabin isn't private enough for you, just do as Jon Rhodes does: pitch your tent early, so you can pass out late.
Wake up Saturday morning to a free breakfast of bagels, donuts, coffee and OJ, then prepare for a ride up the North Shore stopping at beaches, quaint villages, scenic overlooks, and more. There is a rumour that some beaches even have establishments that serve alcohol. A map will be made available shortly (and inserted in your rally pack). 50cc bikes can make the trek but please, no newbies. If you aren't used to riding in a pack, please, stick around the site, take a swim, toss some horseshoes, climb a secluded peak and get high on nature.
We'll all return to the campsite after the ride to recooperate and relubricate. If you're brave, dive into the campground's private pond. Cold water will wake you right up, and you'll need to have all your wits about you to survive this years gymkana and win the nifty prize.
Saturday evening enjoy a free pasta dinner (vegan options will be available), participate in the scooter hijinx, the infmaous Best Rack/Box contest (because we're cretins), and then awards for Furthest Ridden, Best Lammy, Best Vespa, Best Modern, Best Custom, Best Rat, and, ofcourse, Best Rack/Box. Finally the night ends with you passing out by the fire pit.
Sunday morning they'll be more donuts and the like, but then it's farewell to Saugus.
Registration for the rally is only $25/person which covers your campsite/cabin for both nights, your on-site meals, and a patch. If you want a t-shirt, bring extra money for that. If you have questions about bringing your kids, your dogs, or your 40' mobile home, please get in touch and we'll see what we can do to steer you in the right direction.
