Annual
TWIN VALLEY RALLY
Meadows of Dan, VA |
"Twin Valley Rally brings you to the heart of the
Central Appalachians of Southwest Virginia, and some of the sweetest
roads in the country. This is undoubtedly the best riding area in the
Appalachians that isn’t notoriously crowded, aggressively patrolled, and
named for a fire-breathing serpent. We know the roads and it will be our
pleasure to show you more sweet curves than a reptile has scales––all
weekend long! Big Walker Mountain, Wolf Creek Turnpike, Route 16, Little
River Road, Potts Mountain, Burkes Garden, and an unknown number of
steep, tight, curvaceous roads whose names include the word Gap! We aim
to provide you with an experience that will inspire you to return year
after year – if not pull up stakes and move!"

Denny Marino are heading down to this event. |

9th Annual
"PA. GRAND CANYON RIDE"
(to Tioga Co.) |
This 230-mile group ride is offered annually
by
Chris
Kepler. The event is not sponsored by NRR, but
all area riders
are invited to participate.
UPDATE 19 Sept 2011:
Hi everyone. I hope your riding season has been good this
year! Its that time of year again and a little less than a
week away from the 9th Annual PA Grand Canyon Ride. I have
been hosting now in its 9th year. We will meet at the
McDonalds Parking lot at the Nittany Mall about 10:00 AM for
sign up and depart promptly at 10:30 AM, so have your tank
full and be ready to go! The ride will leave the McDonalds
parking lot and head down Rt 64 to Lamar where we will take
a right at the little pavilion park (on the right) and head
back to 880 to Tylersville heading to Jersey Shore. We will
pick up Rt 44 N taking us up to Waterville for our first
stop. This is approx 60 miles from the McDonalds. Those who
need fuel or restroom can take care of these things here. We
will continue on 44 N from Waterville for a short distance
and pick up Rt 414 N. NOTE: There is about a 5 mile section
of 414 that is a little rough but I believe since last year
they may have done some work to it but the scenery is nice
and it gives anyone on a GS or V-strom, etc a little change
from the nicer roads. We will follow 414 to Morris where we
will pickup Rt 287 N. We will then follow 287 N to
Wellsboro. Right before we get into the town of Wellsboro
there is an Exxon Station on the right where we will stop to
fill up with fuel as its easy in easy out. We will then
continue on 287 N into Wellsboro where we will stop and eat
at Harlins Family Style Restaurant located at "17 Pearl St"
phone # 570-724-3311. If I remember right they do not except
credit cards so bring some cash. They have good food and a
salad bar which is pretty good all at a reasonable price.
From the restaurant we will head back out and pick up 287 N
to 660 W to 362 W which will take us up to the Pa Grand
Canyon for viewing. After viewing the Canyon we will head
back out 362 E and take a short cut back to 660 W which will
lead us down to Rt 6 W. We will follow Rt 6 W to Galeton
where we will pickup 144 S heading to Olean where we will
stop for fuel and restrooms. NOTE: Last time they only had
regular gas so plan accordingly. From here we will continue
on 144 S to Renovo continuing on 144 S to the Sheetz at
Wingate where the ride will end and we will depart. From
McDonalds to the Sheetz in Wingate the ride is 230 miles. We
usually reach the Sheetz anywhere from 6 -7pm depending on
the time we spend along the way. Please make a copy of these
directions if you think you will need them on the ride. This
time of year is usually nice but can chill down some the
later part of the day so dress accordingly. If there would
be bad weather that day I will postpone the ride the day
before or by 9am Sunday morning the day of and rechedule it
for the following Sunday October 2nd. All times, routes, etc
would stay the same as planned for the ride had it been held
on September 25th.As in years past there have been between 8
and 25 bikes on the ride. It is open to all makes of bikes,
male & female riders, experienced & new riders. I hope to
see some of you there as well as new riders. If you think
you will be going please let me know so I can give Harlins a
heads up on how many to expect which would be around 1pm or
so. Even if you don't know until last minute come on
the ride anyway as Harlins is adaptable to more, I just like
to let them know what I can. Thanks! So till Sunday, have
a good week, be safe, and hope to see some of you!

 2011 Tiger Ride-In
Jasper, Arkansas
"We've been doing this since 2003 at our first gathering at Lake of the Ozarks,
MO. 17 Riders - 17 Tigers! They came from everywhere. We have been all
around the country gathering at different sites. Tiger riders and those
who want to join us. We are NOT a closed group ...and everyone has a
grand time.. I GUARANTEE IT!"
(c/o Jerry Moffit, Event Founder)
|
Jasper, Arkansas is the OFFICIAL HOME of the Tiger Ride-In. We've been going
there since 2004. But we've also been to: Durango, CO, Kamiah, ID, Hiawassee, GA, Davis, WV, Wellsboro, PA, Manistique, Upper Penninsula, MI.
Everywhere we go ... our people have had a grand time and most have returned from long
distances like Calgary, Alberta; Central, CA; NH; NC; many from
Florida & GA. They show up and say, "It's the best group of people!" We
like it that way. Some of us are getting long in the tooth... but we
still ride. I just completed a 3,000 mile trip up to Glacier Park and
Yellowstone. Two years ago I did 1,289 miles dead-heading home from
Florida. So there is still the yearning for the open road. So make plans
now, we hope to see you in Jasper; Just mention you are with the Tiger
group.

 2nd
Annual
STN Region 6 Campout
FROM
CHRIS CLARK:
Just passing this along since we had such
a good time last year. One group site is already full and a
second will most likely open up shortly. |
The
Plan: Spend a weekend
camping near great riding roads in WV. Ride during the day,
hang around the campfire at night eating, drinking and
swappinglies stories. I will be onsite early Friday afternoon
to get the Group F campground taken care of. Arrive whenever
you can, stay as long as you like.
When:
Friday October 21 - Sunday October 23rd. There will be no
raindate.
Where: Seneca Shadows Campground
near Seneca Rocks, WV Campsites: I have reserved the "Group F"
campsite as our "home base" which can accomodate up to 20
people, but only has 5 tent pads (all tents must be on tent
pads). It looks like you can have 2 tents per pad if they are
not too big. If we get enough people another group site can be
reserved, or people can just reserve regular sites and gather
at the Group F "home base" for cooking/drinking/swapping lies
around the fire. If you want to stay in the group site post up
and I'll add you to the list. It will be $64/night divided by
how many people we can get on the site. Group F campers will
reimburse me via PayPal or check one week before the campout.
Regular campsites are $13 - $19/night depending on location.
The large group of "walk-in" sites are supposed to have good
views of Seneca Rocks. Those not staying in the group site
should make their own reservations.
Food:
I don't normally cook while camping, so if you do here's your
chance to shine. Our group site has 5 grills and 5 fire rings,
so there will be ample room for food prep. I'm sure we can
work out some collection of money for the chef(s). Nearby
Restaurants: Front Porch Restaurant and Harper's General Store
are nearby. If anyone knows of more post up and I'll add them.
Motels: (for those not wishing to camp).
Again, I don't know the area too well. If anyone knows of
lodging nearby add it to the thread.
Alcohol:
We had no problem last year with drinking at the site, but you
should plan on keeping a low profile. Don't ride in with 2
cases of Yuengling on your seat and we should be good. A
decent selection of cold beer is available at the nearby
country store. |
