I'd be up for that, lead the way! Bigok


I was looking at this earlier today.  I came up with two routes for between the two.  One is 1hr15m, the other 2hr20m.

I'll be there with a COG member from Jacksonville, FL. Meeting @ the Cloister, 9 am in the back lot.


Well, I might just have to come up to Ephrata this month and see what all the hoopla is about.
Went up in March, in the pouring down rain and saw about 10 other nuts, there.
Hadn't been abnle to get back, since the weather improved.
I'd like to meet both you and Mr. Mann.
Look for me at the Legion. I'll be the guy hobbling around with a walker and a cast on my left arm.
Needless to say, I won't be riding up  Lol  Lol

My girl and I headed out at 8:30, saw the lot in Ephrata, which was just starting to fill, and headed across hill & dale to Martin's UnEphrata.

The Un-Ephrata was a very small "event".  I got a real nice donut, some ride sheets, and got to browse some bikes.  The Triumph demo truck was there for the demo rides next week, and they are featuring the new Thunderbird cruiser.

We returned to Ephrata by 11:15ish and the lot showed signs of being very full just earlier.  Someone was making some burgers there that smelled tasty, but we returned home to eat.  It was a nice morning of riding.

I must have just missed you Rincewind... The wife and I finally got up there around 12:30 and it was empty, maybe 15 bikes... I thought I might have seen your bike on 897.

As usual, I was in by 0800 and out by 0930.  Didn't notice any STNers although I think I saw Greidel's bike.  Powersports East owner Joel's unique sidecar rig drew a lot of attention. I'll post some bike pix on my site later.  Great riding day; the only negative was too many RVs on 897 on the way home.  Thumbsdown

Edited 7/6/09:  I put about a dozen pix of interesting bikes up on my site this morning if anyone is interested.

Jeets and I got there around 9:30, just in time to meet some guys from multistrada.net.  Crowded, but not insanely so.  Ran into smoker, Marty2 and st2sam before we left at 11:15.  Good group lunch before dodging the buggies on the way home.

Not sure that was us on 897 as I only crossed it while pursuing other back roads.  Catch you some other time.  

Someone should organize a StN SEPA & vicinity meet!    Bigok

Sorry I didn't run into any of you guys.  I was there from about 10:15 to 10:45 snapping some pics.  Then I headed out to get some on-bike video - past Three Mile Island, through Fort Indiantown Gap, and back east over 443 and 248 to Easton, then down 611 towards home.  I'll post some video later this week after I edit it a bit.

Alex - From the looks of it, I must have just missed you by about 15 minutes.  I went up and hung around for awhile hoping to meet up with someone for a ride.  Maybe next time.

We will work something out for another time, Frank.   Bigok  I was with my wife anyway, and she was not ready for further riding after returning from Boyertown - I need to work her tolerance back up for touring!.
