NRR Day Tour to the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford PA.

Ride Leader: John Johnston.

NRR Zippo Tour 2011 May 21
 

We had four bikers on the Bradford/Zippo trip, and enjoyed a great weather day for about 270 miles of riding. The riders were: Greg Suter, Rob Royer, Jay Bartlett & John Johnston. The Zippo museum was interesting, but was a fairly quick study – too bad they no longer offer actual factory tours. Roads were in pretty good shape, but we had to dodge a few bike-swallowing potholes in the town of Bradford. Lunch plans were changed from the originally-planned Beefeaters (since they didn’t open until 4 pm), then we looked for a place called Fratelli’s, which we discovered recently moved to Olean, NY! We finally settled in at the successor to the Fratelli’s location, and got a serviceable, but not quite memorable, lunch. On the way back, we stuck to the highways, and the only near-miscue was due to a driver in Ridgeway who shot out of a side street without stopping. We arrived in the SC area about 5:30… great ride to start the season!

NRR Day Tour to the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, Hammondsport NY.

Ride Leaders: Woody & Ann

6 participants on 5 bikes made the 323 mile trip to the Finger Lakes. The riders were: Dan Lehman, Rob Royer,  John Johnston, Jay Bartlett and Woody & Ann. While we may have spent more time than expected on the trip, everywhere we stopped we encountered (1) great food and (2) friendly folks!  The roads and company were terrific; thanks, gang!

NRR Restaurant Run to
The Lodge Restaurant in
McConnellsburg, Fulton County, PA.

Ride Leaders: Woody & Ann

13 bikes with 16 participants went on this adventure. Except for a short thunderstorm on the return ride, it was a perfect day of shiny motorcycles, tasty food, good roads & great company. A special thanks to the staff of The Lodge for their hospitality and for inviting us there. As usual, after lunch the group dispersed in many directions  - some to the railroad at Rock Hill, some to the ice cream store in Martinsburg, and some home. Our thanks to everyone for a super day.

NRR Day Tour: Sullivan County PA.
to Eagles Mere & to World's End State Park at Forksville

Ride Leader: John Johnston

 

Sorry, no ride photos - but here's the Ride Report from JJ:

The covered bridge at Forksville, PAWe had seven riders on 7 bikes for this day tour:
Rob Royer
Bob Berg
Bill Harvey
Jeff Scarangella
Andrew Biddle
Woody
John Johnston

The weather was absolutely perfect for this trip! The first 60 miles of the trip was moderately paced, due to the traffic and construction on RT 45 East through Lewisburg. Things picked up as we followed RT 642 to Jerseytown, then RT 254 to Millville, and finally RT 42 into Eagles Mere, arriving a few minutes past noon. There (amazingly) we met Andrew coming down the main street, who had come out by a totally different route, with a later starting time. Lunch was at the Eagles Mere Inn, and though the service wasn’t "Fast Food", we left agreeing that it was "Good Food!" We did a brief tour around the historic lake at Eagles Mere, then went over to nearby Worlds End State Park for a brief stop. At that point we decided to follow one of two paths home, with JJ leading the Express Route, and Andrew Biddle taking a group on the Scenic Route. A great day was had by all – thanks to all the participants!

NRR DAY TOUR: Elk Country Day Tour

FROM ANDREW BIDDLE: "Mother Nature was on our side as she provided perfect weather for our ride to Benezette. We had a great group of bikes and made our way up through Milesburg and Karthaus to Wykoff Run. At Wykoff Run we decided to go through in a staged fashion so each rider could go at the pace they desired. Wykoff Run was cage free & LEO free; you could see it was chipped recently, but the recent rain had washed it clean. From there we rode over to the Benezette Hotel, where we were immediately seated, and all enjoyed an excellent lunch. A short hop to the Elk County Visitors Center, where we all were fortunate enough to see a Bull Elk. He was bedding down for the day in the brush, but was clearly visible. This marks the first time we've actually seen an Elk!! The Visitor Center was crowded and the wait too long for stay for the show. All of the riders headed home on there own...thx to all for participating, see you next year!"

NRR Pre-Veteran's Day Ride
(AKA: The Pie-Fixes-Everything Ride)

It was a beautiful & brisk day for a fall ride - the final official ride of 2011 for the NRR. After some join-ups and catch-ups along the route, we ended up with 17 participants on 16 bikes at the Country Village Restaurant in Allensville, PA. Our thanks to the staff for providing the "room in the back" to enjoy our buffet or menu selections - along with their pies! 
After the meal, the group dispersed in many directions in order to enjoy the rest of their day on two (or three) wheels.
Our thanks to each rider for a great afternoon and a super 2011 Group Riding Season with the NRR.
