RALLY SUMMARY

ADVENTURE TOUR RIDES

We have worked with the Pennsylvania Department of Natural Resources and it has paid off with rally attendees having access to 109 miles of dirt roads in the Tuscarora State Forest near Blain, PA (35 minutes from Harrisburg, Pa and the Carlisle Hotel Rally Site)

Three 15-20 mile loops will be marked and the remainder of the roads can be ridden also. One dirt loop is for intermediate level riding and would require 4wd if not on a motorcycle. The other loops are less demanding, but each has plenty of scenery, streams and overlooks. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/st ... ities.aspx





STREET RIDES

Sport and Tour Street Rides will be offered also and will cover the absolute best seldom used mountain paved back roads in this part of Pennsylvania. Ofcourse you can mix/match the street and dirt roads in the Tuscarora State Park.

Great and varied acomodations include rooms and camping at the hotel site along with 9 rustic camping areas at the dirt ride based part of the rally in the Tuscarora State Forest.

6. The Hotel Carlisle Rally Site looks a bit upscale to me. The Carlisle Hotel has nice rooms, great food, a pool and bar... plus is the hotel of choice for all the Carlisle Car Shows and other cycle rallies... so yes it is nice, but they are used to and appreciate motorcycle rallies. You will not get the $65.95 room discount rate we have for any of the car shows...count on that and they are also offering tenting spots.
