Sport Touring at It's Finest - North

Last year, a group of 7 of us put together a mixed-brand sport touring event that was attended by approximately 80 riders. We're doing it again this year.... times 2. We're doing a north and a south version.

This post is for the north version.

As of now, the plans are to meet at 9:00 am at the Petro Truck Stop in Carlisle, PA on Sunday, August 17. For those that attended last year, as of now, the starting and ending spots are the same. There will be (at least) 5 self-guided routes laid out including a paved/unpaved route for the adventure-tourers. Russell Fleming is again leading the charge and there are 6 of us pulling participation for the various brands.

More details to follow, but, wanted to give a preliminary heads up so you can pencil it in on your calendars.

edit....more details as promised....

Sounds like it could be fun.

I don't "do" calendars, so anyone who needs one can borrow my pencil.

Wrote it up with a Sharpie. (Bled through so do I get to go in September also???)

OK Randy, times quickly approaching.

how are things progressing for this road trip(s)?

It's a go. Was at the restaurants this weekend to make sure things were all set up. Hope to see you then. Anyone has any comments/questions, lemme know.

For those unfamiliar with it, there is no registration, no fees, no nothing. Show up, eat breakfast if ya want. Head out at your own pace. Understanding there is nothing binding, who's thinking of coming?

Randy,

Do you know the major cross streets for the Petro Truck Stop?

I think the address is:

1201 Harrisburg Pike

Carlisle, PA 17013;but just wanted to confirm.

You are correct, sir. Original post has been updated with more details.

Definite maybe, because I'm doing the Vermont ride the following weekend.

Will you by chance be posting maps of those routes here on this forum?

Still good to go.

Not sure it we'll be posting the routes or GPS files prior to the ride. I'll know in the next 2 weeks or so.
