Well, just remember I'm a newb with only 160 miles of riding under his belt thus far. With that said. I would have to say it was a fun road, plenty of turns and numerous hills to mix things up. I do have to say that the road is a bit worn especially on the outer shoulder so you need to keep an eye on your right turns. There were a few good spots for pics of the lake and a couple good sized restaurants you could stop a decent sized group at for dinner or lunch.
I can't really give much advice on the route you suggested since I haven't been on several of those roads yet (and won't get the chance to now). But I think you'll do fine at scouting out a great route for the rally. |

Have we decided on a place of stay yet? Or area of place of stay?
I know a few people in PA (that aren't Ninja riders) that could also contribute ideas but they need to know the general area we are going to be in...

Chris - how big is your garage? Can't we all just stay at your place?
I'll let the hubby know about it and see what he says - my birthday is the 18th, so I don't see how he can really say no And I might even be able to get my dad to come along too - if we'll let a weestrom ride with us that is.... thought not sure what I would do with the hubby and kid while we're riding.... |

Yah, you need to be staying at the Great Wolf Lodge in order to go to the waterpark or play in Magiquest. For those that don't know what Magiquest is, it's a fully interactive video game where you are a wizard, you get a wand, and go on quests throughout the place to collect items by activating them using your wand. It's actually really cool and fun.
However, seeing as how the prices for a room at GWL are 100% completely outrageous I wouldn't suggest staying there. Well not unless you want to spend over $500 for one night (checked it myself back in April when I was thinking of staying there for a weekend). |

If you guys know of a general area that you want to stay (Lake Wallenpaupack, Tannersville, Stroudsburg, Jim Thorpe) I can make some recommendations on where to stay. Great Wolf is really cool if you have kids, Camelback is nice, Mt. Airy is great if you want to gamble... There's an awesome place on Lake Wallenpaupack called Erhardt's. I know they have really inexpensive rooms but I don't know what they're like. I've stayed in the new couple suite which is AWESOME!!!!

Are we making it Fri Sat Sun? Cause this kinda complicates things alittle. I know some places want you checked in by a certain time in the morn. Right?
If we leave Fri and get there Fri afternoon will they give us a problem? Guess We'll have to contact our decision to verify if this will be a problem. Though I don't think It will be. I remember some of you saying you'd like to leave your things in the room while out riding. If we book a room they usually want you out by a certain time in the morn. too. So if out riding Sat. evening I assume you would have to pay for that night too even though your not sleeping there. Make sense? Or maybe we can find a storage solution for those who do not want to stay till Sun... ..

I know I would be staying friday and Saturday nights... Leaving back home sometime Sunday.
Usually, its been my experience, that you have to be checked out by noon. Could be different. Here is what I am thinking... Us that are flocking further from PA to go are going to have a long hard ride/drive to get there. If we meet somewhere Saturday morning you folks that live there abouts can meet us for breakfast/brunch some place around the selected hotels... If we say meet at 8:30 am that gives us the rest of the day to play around. Hit the good roads. Find some place for lunch and then play around some more and end up somewhere for dinner (if it is a local a bbq that we all chip in to pay for doesn't sound to bad to me but either way) If someone is trailering things or driving to meet us and such perhaps personal belongings can be left in that vehicle. I know that if Phil and I trailer up then I would be more than happy to let people stow stuff in the truck or trailer...

Joe, I think your confusing checkin with check out. No hotel that I have ever been to cares what time you show up...I mean ive showed up at 1am. Bluetyke I think you have the right idea. Now that 70 bucks a night thing though...a little much IMO.

A bit much to me as well... I think we should find one of the least expensive. We aren't going for the atmosphere of the hotel but rather to ride
Looking at the link Joe put up the second one down says 51 a night at a Super 8 I am really not familiar with the area at all... I usually choose one which is close to my destination but as I have no particular one... I would say though we don't have to be inside the moutains to get the hotel. infact being on the fringe or outside of it would work as well..

if you look at a map basicly from mt. pocono to stroudsburg is a 20mile drive which to me is not that far.... as far as meeting up let me know 8:30am might be a bit early for the people that are coming from NJ or so but what ever you decide im fine with
