2013 Conserve the Ride - Pennsylvania

It's another year for the Conserve the Ride event. AltRider is the organizer/sponsor for the event. Camping, riding, eating, drinking, laughs, and an all around great time. I went to the inaugural ride last year and had a blast. AltRider really takes care of everyone. They organize the rides, the food, the beers, all of it. You just show up and have a great time. I made a couple good friends from this event last year.

This is from the AltRider Web site:


WHERE // Woodward , PA, United States
WHEN // Fri, Jun 7


DETAILS //
REGISTRATION WILL BE OPEN IN APRIL 2013!

Join us on a stellar weekend getaway in Central Pennsylvania on June 7-9 for Conserve the Ride 2012. AltRider is working in conjunction with the Seven Mountains Conservation Corp (SMCC), dedicated to the promotion and preservation of off-road motorcycle riding in the nearby trails of Pennsylvania. Strap up your bike with the camping gear that's collecting dust in your garage, extra fuel, and a yearning for adventure to join AltRider on this epic dual sport ride.

This exciting 3-day event kicks off with an intense EnduroCross competition on SMCC's custom built track with live pro riders on Friday evening followed by a catered dinner. AltRider will provide nightly entertainment with a keg of beer by the campfire.

Saturday - Eat a hearty breakfast and break into groups based on skill level for a staggered GPS-led ride. Then head out on an adventure ride through diverse terrain, including stunning forests surrounded by lush foliage, narrow bridges, sand crossings, never-ending gravel and rock. 160 miles have been mapped out (including GPS routes) to create incredible experiences for every skill level. Informative seminars from pro racers will teach off-road riding techniques so the rider can feel every bit confident when tackling the varied Pennsylvanian terrain. Halfway through the Saturday ride, we will stop for a scenic BBQ lunch served at Hyner Run State Park. After finishing up the ride, a pig roast will be awaiting at the campgrounds with an ice cold beer to quench your thirst.

Sunday - Wake up to a delicious breakfast and join us for an optional cave tour at the largest cave in Pennsylvania – right on site at the Woodward Caves Campground! . Break down your campsite, say your goodbyes to your new friends and we’ll provide you with several optional routes. A local member of SMCC will set up a mapping station to help you with any route questions for your ride home.

Registration includes:
• A weekend of GPS routed rides created by the members of SMCC for all skill levels
• Live EnduroCross show with pro racers
• 2 nights of camping at Woodward Caves –find directions here
• 5 meals including delicious BBQ, a special pig roast and adult beverages

What kind of bike? 250cc or the 690 ish....

Anyone riding over from North Jersey or NY? I will be heading out from Rockaway Township, NJ and heading West on I90 if anyone wants to meet up and convoy.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Dakar star and training expert Jimmy Lewis (www.jimmylewisoffroad.com) is flying out to PA from CA to teach a class through his riding school.





He is conducting a special training class for riders of all skill level that will take place at 8:30 am sharp on the same day the event starts (June 7th). Sign up early for Jimmy's class + Conserve the Ride -- Jimmy's class usually sells out very quickly! For more information about Jimmy's class + Conserve the Ride, click here

Damn that's a busy weekend as June 7i,8,9 is also the Jim Thorpe Smokin Hole Rally dates.

anyone goin' to this from Philadelphia way?

My brother is - he is in Union City NJ. Leaving Friday some time.

I will tell him to check this thread.

The route is complete and we are busy putting together the GPS files. There are 7 optional sections that will challenge the best of riders, several incredible overlooks and a main route that will be passable by riders of all skill levels.

I can't wait to see everyone in a couple of weeks.

It was great last year. I'm sure it will be again this year, too!

Looks like fun.

If anyone is in the Morris County area and would like to ride out, PM me

I'm thinking of playing hooky on Friday and leave earlyish afternoon. I just want avoid any and all highway.

We just finished up riding and getting the GPS files for the optional sections. A big black bear crossed the road ahead of us and stood there letting us know who is king of the forest!!!

Ok, I'm in! Tell Jimmy Lewis I'm coming
