>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>
This 2005 Aprilia Northeast Fall Ride in will feature some of the best seldom used roads in Northern Pennsylvania. Wonderful views, mountains, state parks, streams, twisties and photo stops along the way. See the Agenda below this great event specifics.
The Shadowbrook Inn will provide us with rooms on the first floor so we can park our bikes by our door or even on the patio each room is equiped with. They were kind enough to give us a room rate of $72 plus Queen rooms (2 queen beds/room). The rooms list for $125 on their website. The town is in "The Endless Mountains" area of PA. We will be close enough to Wellsboro to easily hit that area if we choose or check out some new roads.
The resort has a restaurant (Bogey's) and a lounge (The Brook Nightclub) on-site. Live entertainment and dancing on weekends.
A block of rooms has been reserved for a short time under the group name Capo Riders. Call the 800 number to make reservations. To get the group rate state you are part of the Capo Riders Group. Most places in that region of PA are booked so I suggest making arrangements ASAP. _http://www.shadowbrookresort.com/_ (http://www.shadowbrookresort.com/)
