While most car clubs draw members from a relatively small area, New England Triumphs represents six states totaling almost 72,000 square miles. Our membership hails from all corners of this diverse region, and beyond. Our intent is to host an annual weekend event highlighting a different area within our region each year. Each Ramble will have a different feel and format but always based on driving our Triumphs and instilling camaraderie amongst the club members.
The Ramble is a weekend event for members of New England Triumphs to get together, socialize, and explore parts of New England we may not be familiar with. You will have plenty of time to enjoy seeing all the area has to offer from the best vantage point, through the windscreen of your favorite LBC. There will be no set schedule for activities other than closing out Saturday with a quick car show and an optional meal.
You get to choose what driving tours you are comfortable with as well as your own schedule. Your hosts will prepare instructions for drives ranging from staying local to the host accommodations to a full day excursion with a lunch stop. Late afternoon on Saturday we will gather with our cars for an impromptu car show, with a simple “one vote per car entered” participants choice award presented.
Our inaugural 2023 Ramble took place in July in Bethel, Maine. The event was well attended, and everyone seemed to enjoy the format of the weekend. Everyone participated at their own pace, with many of us taking in some spectacular drives.
We switched gears a bit in 2024, The Ramble was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts. While the previous year’s Ramble was all about enjoying rural Maine, in 2024 we focused on this very historic town. Host Ken Stone arranged a fantastic weekend, we had time to explore Plymouth and participate on some drives offering spectacular views of the Massachusetts coastline and its interior. All participants gave rave reviews of Plymouth, and we proved a Ramble destination does not have to be all about country roads!
For our third Ramble in 2025, we headed to Ludlow, Vermont. Our hosts Gene Felder and John Cohen put together a fantastic weekend for us, our home base was the Jackson Gore Lodge at the base of Okemo Mountain. Two long drives were prepared, each were led by one of our hosts, and we enjoyed many of the smaller, off the beaten track roads that offered fun twisty bits and incredible scenery.
We are now taking reservations for the 2026 Ramble. We are going to the Franconia Inn, in Franconia, New Hampshire! Hosts Dave Sheils and Bob Lang are diligently working on the event, and we expect to take over this small quintessential New England inn, so we do suggest making your hotel reservations ASAP!
