For the second time in recorded history there is going to be a ride
to and around the Hanover, PA area. For those not familiar with the area
it is about one hour south of Harrisburg, one hour west of Lancaster,
two hours from Baltimore and twenty minutes east of Gettysburg. Or, it’s
half way between York and Gettysburg.</span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Our hosts will be Chris and Marge Erickson at their place near
Codorus Park, just outside of Hanover. Facilities include camping among
the pines, a barn/workshop, paved parking for the bikes and plans for a
campfire on Friday and Saturday nights. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
The area includes some very nice rural riding in southern York
county, Adams county and northern Maryland. If your idea of a great day
is all day at 30-40 mph on twisty back country roads, then this is a
trip to consider. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span> Schedule </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span> Arrive Friday after noon -</span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>Set
up camp, meet Scout & Maggie (and Chris and Marge) and hangout or
go for a short local ride. Supper around 6 or 7, (Pizza & Beer?)
Discuss Saturday options. Campfire and/or sit back, sip on a cool brew
and play with the dogs. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Saturday head out on the bikes. A day of riding over mostly quiet
back roads. Lunch locations to be determined during the trip. It might
be prudent to bring a snack along as lunch time might vary. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
A long ride has been routed across southern York county, north
along the east side of the Susquehanna (River road) and crossing back at
Wrightsville. Lunch may be in that area. A second long ride has been
routed through Apple country, Adams county. A beautiful ride, rural and
quiet. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Several shorter routes have also been planned. They might be
followed as half day rides. Finally, some attending might decide to head
out on their own. This is certainly an option. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Saturday supper is planned for one of the local breweries in
Hanover. Depending on the size of the group, we may split and go to
several. From supper we have an easy ride back to camp. Around the fire
we can relive the trip of the day. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Sunday will be breakfast of coffee and donuts from a local DD. This
can be a leisurely affair with discussion on the porch of alternate
routes home and ideas for next year. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Should we have some weather on Saturday that dampens the ideas of
glorious long country rides, there are a few options. The immediate area
has some very nice rides of an hour or two. Additionally, there are
actually some local restaurants that will provide a selection of take
out (for lunch) that can be brought back and enjoyed in camp. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Camp itself is the home of Chris & Marge and Scout and
Maggie(resident Border Collies). They have six mostly wooded acres, a
log home, studio and a barn. Last year the barn became our gathering
space. Fairly well equipped it can also serve for wrenching, as needed.
While no serious tear down is likely, some tweaking, tuning and
adjusting can certainly take place. The barn workshop is home to Chris’
five motorcycles, several vehicles, welding gear and a variety of
masculine stuff. Good weather or bad, this area is available. Need a
little welding done? Bring it. If all the airheads that have been ridden
in are in top form, Chris still has his R25 that has a little timing
issue. Perhaps a meeting of the minds can come up with a solution. The
shop includes a good selection of tools as well as a nice hydraulic
lift. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span> Meals</span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>Friday supper - pizza & beer on site. </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Saturday breakfast</span><span> - pancakes & coffee on site.

Tents and associated equipment are recommended. Chairs, tables,
etc. will be provided for breakfast on the porch on Saturday. The
porches are also available anytime for gathering & relaxation (there
are several). </span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
Porta-potties will be on site for campers. A selection of tent sites
are available among or out from under the trees. Parking is in the
circle or in front of the barn. Codorus Park, about a mile away, has a
variety of hiking trails should someone wish to spend the day there.
Fishing in the lake is also an option. They have a website for further
details.</span></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;min-height:20.3px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span></span><br></p><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span>
