Northeast Alta Rally

[privateer703]

I'm looking to try some different off-road parks in the northeast area and seeing what interest there is in turning it into a group rally. Some of the places I've been meaning to check out are Rock Run, Reading Outdoors, or Anthracite Outdoor Adventures (all central PA). I'm open to idea's if anyone else is interested. I'd be up for travel in any place in the NY to WV area.

I’m right at and a member FRO (Famous Reading Outdoors) and I’ve been to AOAA. Could definitely guide a group in these areas. I also have a good friend about to open a new 1k acre facility right in this same area. I’m definitely in for a PA ride.

Having someone who knows the terrain would be a big help.

That I can do.

@OneLapper is on the road, but he might be game for this.

Other possibilities;
@Trialsman ?
@Matt ?
@Duncan ?

Who am I forgetting?

Not as many Alta’s in the northeast.

 

[Matt]

I would be down if I am free the weekend it is happening.

 

[Matt]

Tall Pines in southern NY or Majestic in PA is an option also. I have ridden at both of these locations.

 

[Matt]

@OneLapper and @snydes along with some family are coming to ride at tall pines and stay at some land I have nearby on May 31st-June 2nd. There will be 5 Alta riders there as of now. All other Northeastern Alta riders are welcome to attend. Please message me if you are interested in coming and I can give you location details. The camp (how I refer to the land my family owns) has a barn with power and a motocross track build last year. Tall Pines is about 45-50 minutes away.

Thanks,
-Matt

This sounds AWESOME!!

What kind of power is available? If you don’t have any 240 outlets I can help put some in if your service supports it.

Then maybe that IS the NE Alta Rally. I just checked my calendar and that weekend I'll be in Ohio at Anarchy Camp (punk music festival). Poop.

Dang! We can schedule another later in the year maybe?

 

[privateer703]

Certainly.

I am pretty sure we have 2 breaker spots left in our box that I believe support 240. I was planning to put a couple in otherwise it is all 110. The barn is pretty new at 4 years old and we are actually going to finish the upstairs this summer. I will try and see how many 240 outlets I can put in.

That would be great. Everybody throws in some money for electric and then we can cut down on generators. We can continue the specifics through PM.

Tall Pines, NY is a 6-hour drive for me, but...

@snydes -- Aren't you and I going to Alabama that same weekend?

Perry Mountain 24 Hour Challenge -- June 1-2, 2019

Well... damn. I didn’t realize that was the same weekend

I actually had to jump back on the fence for the Alabama race. This might be the dealbreaker.

 

[Matt]

May be able to move dates

 

[Mikec265]

That's 2.5 to 3 hours from me. Depending on weather, WIFE, kids, and work I may go. I'd say I've got a 25% chance of making it.

 

[OneLapper]

The original date works for me, I don't think I can easily switch it.

Why don't we meet at Matt's that weekend, and then plan a ride with @snydes in coal country, maybe after the NE24hour race?

 

[snydes]

We are always available for a Pennsylvania coal country ride if anyone is ever interested.

 

[privateer703]

Snydes, have you been on any of the trails like Shade Mountain trail or Seven Mountains Ramble Trail and are they worth doing?
