I'm for Wellsboro since I missed that XSEast. However, WV is always a hoot. I hosted XSEast2000 at Blackwater Falls State Park in Davis WV. Great riding. Lodge, cabins, dining hall and camping.Darrell

Wow, Im a little surprised it seemed as though Wellsboro was starting to gain momentum. Well, I cant make it to WV so you can count me out.
If any members are still interested in holding a "mini" ralley in Wellsboro PA then Im in. I wont need lodging as its 3 hours from my house and only 1 hour from my home town so I could stay with family...
I usually dont know what I have planned next week let alone 6 months from now so if you guy wanted to hold something formal and put a date on it then thats cool. I do know that I will be too busy starting April1 through May 10th...
If you want to keep it informal just as a group ride (call it what ever you want) then thats just as good. Im not going to head this up so if someone wants to feel free, just throwing out the idea. Would like to meet some more of the members and if we can get even 3 or 4 guys together I would call it a success.'79 XS11 F

I can do Wellsboro anytime, It's only about 45 miles away. I'd just need a little notice to take off work as I'm working 7 days a week. Maybe a little camping with a few rides and some beers after???? There are some good camp grounds up there. At this point I only have the xs850 leagal and on the road but by summer I'll be done with the mid-day special.

theres some great lodging in Wellsboro too...check out the rates at the Canyon Motel...its 2 mins walk to the Wellsboro Diner and 2 more mins and you're on Main St....also the Penn-Wells Hotel and Motel...and any road with a #4 in it will be a great road to ride...

It's unlikely that I would do any lodging, just leave from Watkins Glen area bright and early to meet you folks in Welsboro. Ride all day and return home...Originally posted by madmax-im View Posttheres some great lodging in Wellsboro too...check out the rates at the Canyon Motel...its 2 mins walk to the Wellsboro Diner and 2 more mins and you're on Main St....also the Penn-Wells Hotel and Motel...and any road with a #4 in it will be a great road to ride...
Your not kidding about the roads with a 4 in them... I think Rt144 to 2004 and back up through Rt120 to Steam Mill Rd would be a fun ride. With roads like that I would be happy to back track all day.

I've ridden the area 3 times and each time it was better...roads with virtually no traffic and while they're not quite as twisty as other places...still great riding and scenery...Love Pine Creek and the PA Grand Canyon. The road up (and down) to Hyner View was a fun road too...

At one point all the hotels up there were packed with gas drillers, I'm not sure there are any good hotel deals up there now.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)

The natural gas fracers have moved into Pa. They were so heavy in the Wellsboro area a year or two ago that all the rentals were rented and so were the hotels. Alot of that action has toned down up there and around here now....the price of natural gas is so low it's not being taken from the ground until they can get more cash out of it.....they are still setting up alot of wells and putting in the pipe line. It's about the only good paying job around if you don't already have one. lots of overtime, 60 to 70 hr weeks.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)
