Ok! We are planning a trip to SSRT on July 17th-18th, I might be there earlier since I'm off Friday thru Monday. We haven't check in towards what they have for cabins/rooms as of yet but I would imagine that we should be able to find something.

Oh! Yeah! It's also Dagirl's birthday that weekend and this is her wish so the hubby has to go which is nice to "see" him.:D:D:D

WTF is SSRT?

You can view it;

TTT...pm sent Nash04, dagirl

We are still planning on going just waiting for my travel agent to handle the travelling arrangements.....Nicky? lol!! Looks like the Kwik Fill motel is the only place to stay and there's a trailhead not too far from there but we still have to load up the bikes to and from.

You people's , really know how to p**s a Brit off !:D
Enjoy my friend .

Sorry Bud, thought that you might be coming down this way next year then we could ride together :-)

Thinking of a world tour of the US.:yay:

I will put my travel hat on this week and make the arrangements boys ;)

Thanks Mom :-) But from what I can see, there's not much out there. Well they do have trails..

well its my b day weekend so its all about the riding!!! :) poor mike has not clue what he is getting into!

I thought that you were suppose to be the one being surprise since it's your B-Day and not Mike, lol!!

Count me in! I got the 16th off so I'm going!

I was reading reviews of hotels and a lot say about being dirty... mildew and sorry boys I dont mind playing in the mud on the trails but sleeping in it is another story! So unless you know of a clean
hotel... post it here so we can get this booked by the end of the week :)

Looks clean but $98 a night...

It's a little further to and from but I'll go for that before going into a motel that has more roaches and people.....Let's do it.

I'm okay with it also but I'm concerned about parking and all the trailers. If you haven't I would suggest to ask about that before booking.

WAAAIITTT...it says no pets allowed!
I guess this dog can't come with.....

:lmao::lmao::funny::lmao::lmao:

Did you noticed that it's a 2 day rental, I can be there on Friday since I'll be off and would be nice to stay in the woods for a couple of nights but don't know if they would let me stay there alone one night and the rest of you coming in on Saturday.

I'm off on Friday also and plan on being up there by dinner time on Friday so I'm okay with that also Joe.

we are coming on friday night!!! I am off Saturday...

The hubby is going to be ok with that, oh! yeah! he doesn't know yet! lol!! Cool! then we will have more time to have fun up there and do more exploring.

Yeah! We need to check about parking area, can't see any pictures of it but I would imagine they should be ok since they are able to handle large groups.

I would too so I will book the 3 bedroom cabin first...and go from there, sound good?

Is CJ and Doug coming? You know how they are about sleeping area and I noticed the couches are not as nice as Penny's so I'll need a bed this time,lol!

Sorry, noticed that it can sleep up to 6. Thought that Vinny mentioned that he might come up or was I thinking of something else. What about Al

I will book the solo cabin for mike and me and the 3 bedroom for you boys?

I don't have a problem with that, I just need a bed.

Thank you :-) Didn't want to hear all that yapping.....from Mike, lmao!! Love the boy but he tends to talk a tab too much some times.

You Don't Say!

funny boys... he cant help himself he is VERY animated!!!

I invited my neighbor and he is interested just a little too far out for him to know his schedule. I also have one person interested from the Wolverine site who lives in New York.

I am going to post on the atvzone theres a few peeps that I have been trying to get a ride with so maybe it will work out... any thoughts? Joe said he thought it was a good idea... just afraid it will be like the last group ride of last year and too many people to have fun...

I'm fine with it, I would like to ride with some of the other people on there as well. I'll be buying my own GPS for my own POS and take my OSA and go ride MAO! :lmao:

Dan

We might be getting a guided tour which is equates between 65-85 miles, it all depends on the size of the group. Think that Nicky sent a PM to a member from the Atvzone, been told he knows the area very good, we just need to give him a tip per rider which is aok with me if he shows us all the good places. What is OSA? Also I have some gps maps for that area if you want them.

Own Sorry A$$
I don't mind tiping anyone for a good ride like that!
I can't decide between the Garmin 60csx and the DeLorme Earthmate PN-40.

I have waaaayyy too many things going on again and need to get this finished up.

Check out Al's gps, he has a nice one but don't know what brand and how much he paid for it. I have the Legend HCx which cost $188, you can buy it at WalMart.

Wish that I could go that weekend, but my little bro is getting married. We may be going on June 6 for the day. Luckily this is only 2 hours away for me.

ok so need to think about this trip. Anyone in the tri state area wishing to ride SSRT click the link to check it out. Next week I will try to get group rates at a hotel. I have heard nothing but, "SSRT is awesome" from anyone who has ridden there. There are a few from this site and a few from the atv zone coming. Its a good family oriented place if you want to make a family weekend out of it!

Changed Title 4U guys.

Just called Cherry Ridge Cabins and #4 cabin is already rented for the weekend but cabin 1,2,3 and 5 are available. There also is a log house/cabin that is not advertised on their site that is available. They do not have air conditioning but says its plenty cool with the fans and the tall trees. I can agree to that to a point because last weekend we were up at my brothers cabin in Towanda, PA and he didn't have the a/c on but it actually felt like it it was so cool in the cabin. Obviously they want us too book asap which I expected and they just had a group there with a bunch of ATV's and trailers and there is no problem with space and a bunch of trailers.

We need a good count of who is going and if they want to chance it at the cabins
without a/c or do you want to go to the Kwik Fill Hotel or the Ramada Inn?

lets check out the ramada in

lets check out the ramada in

As long as you don't tell Mike !

:ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:
:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha:

haha I wont this trip was enough....

All I'm finding is $98 - $115 per night before taxes at the Ramada.
If you book it with two queen beds and split the cost between 2 people it isn't too bad.

sounds great to us just checked with the guys... now a head count hmmm

hey few questions:

do I need to be reg & ins in pa? also can we get the permits there? also what trail head we meeting at?

They state that it must be registered and insured but do not say anything about if it's ok to be registered in another state, I would call them up since they do not have an email address. Here's the secretary's number; Secretary: George Holt (814) 345-6526

thanks Joe would suck to not be able to ride...

1.All must be state registered with license plate displayed.
2.All must have liability insurance to receive a permit to ride the trail.
3. All ATV’s must have and display high on left rear fender a current year Snow Shoe Rails to trails sticker. Snowmobiles should be next to the state sticker.4. All operators must wear a securely fastened helmet with goggles or face shield.
5. To operate an ATV, 8 through 15 years of age, you must possess a DCNR Safety Certificate.
6. All operators must use a safe and reasonable speed.
7. Slow Speed Zone (5 miles per hour) are designated in the following locations: All bridges, tunnel, residential areas near Clarence Archery Shop through Number 10, Gillentown. Speeds should not exceed 20 miles per hour in all other areas.
8. “Wheels Yield to Heels”--All must slow down when passing or overtaking another trail user.
9. All motorists must stop when approaching horses, ask the rider when it would be safe and appropriate to continue.
10. Stay on the trail, stay off adjoining private property.
11. Refer to PA All Terrain Vehicle Law for all other regulations.
12. Liability for negligence in the use or operation of an ATV/Snowmobile is attributable to the owner of the ATV/Snowmobile.
13.All operators should act in a safe and responsible manner.

13.All operators should act in a safe and responsible manner.

Oh well, cancel the trip now or you guys are screwed.

:funny: but oh sooooo true

Well! they don't really say "PA" registered, they say "state" registered so that could mean any state as long as they are registered and insured.

ok so he called me back... said you need insurance. He also stated you need reg and they pa will accept NJ... but when I ask what about out of state where reg is not done he was stumped and will have to call me back. Said there are 4 places that sell permits on the spot as well..

Sounds good to me, now we just need to figure out where we are going to stay?

So what's happening with this trip, we are now in July......2 weeks to go!!

Thanks for the info, the only problem that I see, can't and won't put that sticker on my graphics....no way!! They'll have to deal with it being on my helmet.

ok so we are staying at the kwik fill motel...

What are the prices and do you have their number, will make my reservation this weekend, we are going Friday thru Sunday....right?

Nikki, did you get the email I sent you about what Mark/Mr. Mayor said.?....LOL

Yes Joe, 7/16-7/18 at least for me!

Nikki, did you get the email I sent you about what Mark/Mr. Mayor said.?....LOL

Yes Joe, 7/16-7/18 at least for me!

nope did get it!

Mark/Mr. Mayor wrote this in the shoutbox on the zones site
"I will not entertain Kwikfill.... dude... I felt like I was in a carton of cigarettes.... with some nasty things on the floor..... I think I'm the only wimp at Ramada again."

Is he saying that we are going to see some un-welcome critters besides some of our riding buddies, lol!!

ok so we doing ramada? the room is $125 a night with 2 beds its $125 a person for 2 days???

what odd is so many others stayed there... but I trust mark others might only care its 80 less for the weekend

oh phucknutz found a place you can rent trailers...
Dan this might be to expensive for your other person but if its nasty I really dont want to sleep there

My final vote is for the Ramada Inn.

myself, me and doug are ok for ramada inn as well so its only joe we need to ask if he ok.
doug wants his own room, mike and me another so u and joe share?

I'm fine with that.
The guy from NY even said if he had to sleep on a air mattress he would but if
anyone else wants to go they'll need another room. I'm still waiting on my neighbor
to decide and also another person from the Wolverine site that said they wanted
to go but he hasn't called or emailed me back from yesterday.


Okay, the guy from the Wolverine site emailed me back and can't make it.

$125 a night!! That's $50 less than what we paid last week for the whole week? Have to look at my budget since I do have some Vegas friends coming up here the first week of August and we just came back from Hatfield.

125 for two days if you and dan share a room

ok so we doing ramada? the room is $125 a night with 2 beds its $125 a person for 2 days???

what odd is so many others stayed there... but I trust mark others might only care its 80 less for the weekend

So it's $62.50 per person/night? If so, then I could afford it and would stay with Dan if he doesn't mind my snoring, lol!!

What about this one http://res.cheaprooms.com/hotel/propertydetails/211953/SUMMARY?isHRN=true&position=5&travelDetail=[20100716-2]2&cid=249602

It's about 4 miles more but it's right in the college area so we have a better choice of restaurants/bars/girls....lol!

So it's $62.50 per person/night? If so, then I could afford it and would stay with Dan if he doesn't mind my snoring, lol!!

If its $62.50 per person/per night than book it, I don't mind.
I can sleep threw anything it wont bother me.

I sent Mark/Mr. Mayor a PM about the Kwik Fill and here is his reply!

Maybe I'm a wimp, but I wouldn't stay there for free... I stayed in Ramada for 80 a night.. the way I see, it, if u need a tetanus shot and sandals to shower??? Ew!
Haha.. I'm spoiled, what can I say?

Just book the Ramada !

Made the reservation, cost is $218.68

So I owe you $18.68......:lmao:


OK..OK..per room? per person?

I wish I could make it for Nikki`s birthday, but I already had a family vacation to Nashville booked. I will not miss another ride this season, riding close to home is OK but I want to explore new places. Keep us up to date on future rides.

wohooo get weather!!!

what a great ride!!! 92 miles and great weather!!!wohooooo :)

WOW! That is a serious ride.

How did everything go?

it is amazing here! its like being in west virginia except there is a lot of towns and roads to ride on. we went thru a very cool tunnel over a very high bridge... I am blown away by all the riding there is here... truly breath taking views and awesome hill climbs!! not to many jumps though :( but I give it an A!!!

Figures I miss this ride and it turns out AWESOME, see ya soon.

What a great weekend! Can't wait to do that again. Nash04, ag2560 and I were up there Friday afternoon and rode 32 miles. Then like dagirl said we 92 more miles on Saturday. As much as I wanted to stay it was better for me to leave Sunday morning then ride 3 or 4 more hours.

Great time with great friends!

The whole weekend was fun, did about 40 miles today and found some new trails by mistake and found the "play" area which is small but ok. The scenery and tunnel/bridge was great, the only that we wish they had on or around the trail, gas stations, they have bars/eating areas but no gas station even though I only used about 2.5 gallons, would be nice to have, they are working on it. Probably going back this September before TN

We cant wait till Sept we need to go in August on my next weekend off :) I really am amazed at all that great riding...$15 permit for the year...and its that close! Me being the nut I am would go for the day if it meant I could go ride there sooner!!!

Vinnie I hope next time you can come...

For everyone else if you can get to SSRT in Clarence Pa it is worth the trip... do it! You will not be disappointed :)

Joe, Dan and Al thank you for sharing my bday weekend... you all are the best!
