OK, response so far has been excellent... we could have ourselves a decent crowd for this!!! I'm pumped. I also took a good look at the PineCreekRides.com site... and I think Wellsboro PA has EXCELLENT potential for our weekend Rally. There are lots of hotels, inns and B&B's (which can suit a variety of tastes and budgets). The town of Wellsboro has a quaint commercial district with plenty of stores, restaurants etc... and easy access to the Pine Creek Gorge (and surrounding area) with a really nice variety of back road rides... Moreover (as some of you have shared concerns about doing a 35-50-mile ride), these loops are conducive to shortening (with bailout options at different points for groups who would prefer to take a shorter loop). And Wellsboro has restaurants and taverns, so they MUST HAVE BEER!
I will contact a few of the hotels and inns in the area, as well as the owner of that website to get his opinion if by staying in Wellsboro, we can get what we need in terms of hotels and access to rides... Stay tuned. Peace, BB On Nov 14, 3:23 pm, Montclair BobbyB <montclairbob...@gmail.com> wrote: > VERY KIND OF YOU, AJ... THANKS! > > I'm already checking into a few potential spots...
