Hanover Camp & Ride.    June 25, 26 & 27


Opportunity Knocks!

   Sign up now! We begin the fun this Friday!! Please let Chris know ASAP


     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.

    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.

    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.


    Schedule

      Arrive Friday after noon -


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.


      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.

      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.

      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.

     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.

    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.


    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.


    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.

     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.
