Pennsylvania Riders check in!

Hi Folks.

I'm a newby Old Guy from Erie who rides the ANF dirt roads out of our camp near Kane. I'd love to hook up and share some rides next season, but strictly dirt. I only use pavement to get to the next dirt.

If you folks don't already know, the ANF opens the gates on a lot of roads from 9-24 through 1-16 every year for hunter access.

The ANF also puts out sort of outdated, but useful maps showing most of the forest roads. They are available at ANF offices, but I imagine they will send you one.

BTW, I found this site looking for info on my bike and I LOVE IT. Thanks to everyone for sharing their hard earned knowledge.

Welcome to the asylum!

My brother & I discovered this, by accident, when we were up there last year. We rode up on Sat. & did the ANF Sun. So we didn't have to worry about hunters.

HairBear, I noticed the one picture of you guys riding past the Air National Guard Base. Do you work out there?

Also, we've started a couple SW PA / Pittsburgh area rider's thread to gin up some interest in doing local rides. Seems like a lot of riders around the area, but few get together. Anyway, check in the Regional riders forum. We've posted the last few days. Hopefully more rides will be posted and more of us can meet up. Cheers.

Hitting the tight single track of new Philadelphia just outside st.Clair tomorrow if anyone is interested we usually eat at 3c's just outside port Clinton would be a good place to.meet in the morning. Let me know if anyone has an interest!

Nice ride, Hairbear. You missed a cool ride though. Rt 949 goes from Sigel Pa south of Cooksburg on Rt 36 to Belltown along the Clarion river. There is an awesome turn just past Clear Creek State Park (nice cabins too) and from Belltown you can ride the river road paralleling the Clarion River all the way back downriver to Cooksburg. The river road is busy during the summer, but beautiful during the rest of the year.

Checking in from Elk country. I ride an 04 1150 GSA.

I live in the south hills, but my brother lives in a thatwardly direction.

Count me in for next year, my last trip to the ANF was mid-Sept. I purchase a pass every year and plan on doing the same for 2014.

From North Central PA. Emporium, PA (Cameron County)... new to the adv site. Hung my boots up for the winter already (early I know), but looking to start planning trips and rides for next year when the green starts coming out of the ground again. PM me if you local and/or interested.

Where in Elk country you located? Emporium is my locale.

Checking in from Lewistown.

Also, the guys/gals on the Bald Eagle ToR are doing a meet up this Sunday. If anyone is interested, see the second post on this page:

Might be motorcycle camping up near Gaines this SAT,

Bean letting you sleep inside?

live in Horsham, grew up in Philly.

Where in Horsham?? I grew up in Horsham,, live in Jim Thorpe now. Back when I was a kid it was farm land and a military base.. lots of places to ride. Not so much anymore. My parents are still there.

moved to horsham in 1988. i live near dresher and witmer rd across from st catherines of sienna church.

I graduated in 87,, I wrecked my truck on whitmer rd on a really bad foggy night back in 89? Don't know if they ever fixed that road but it wasn't more than a one lane-ish with 90 degree turns with massive oaks everywhere. Got personal with one of them. Lucky for me I was only doing like 20-25 or I would have died.. but that speed in a 68 chevy truck staring into a 3' diam oak is still a eye opening experience.
I grew up over on Davis Grove a couple houses in from the moon tavern end.

still a really dangerous road. couple college kid missed the curve a few yrs ago took a tree limb thru the windshield 2 dead . driver doing time in prison. roads are alot better in jim thorpe than in horsham.

Riding in Jim Thorpe this weekend?!?
