I have 6 on Road loops mapped out in Basecamp that could be ridden while at this event. They are all about 100 miles long and begin and end at the Somerset County Courthouse.
PM if you'd like the files.

Probably 4 years ago, maybe 5. We were staying at Nemacola Lodge (great place, but $$$$). We were actually on a bicycle tour. IIRC, we went to Falling Waters that trip, and also pedaled the canal path. We rode down into WVa and back.
 
I mentioned some GPS routes that where coming...................

The website is a work in progress but I'm pretty sure the download works. Take a look.

PS. we've got the menu picked and our caterer is ready for us!

tks,

If you want to tour it remember, you must purchase a ticket in advance. The tours SELL OUT so please plan ahead if you want to visit.

I was there last yr(2017), great rally. I went to Fallingwater and did the long tour. You need to get your ticket at least a month before the rally. They will not let you on the estate without a ticket.
 
Well we're one week away from out 16th Annual Campout.

Hard to believe we've been doing this for that many years.
I was 37 years old when we started and now I'm receiving AARP magazines in the mail.

We've gotten 21 pre registrations forms in the mail. Which is about twice as many as we normally get.

10 Day forecast is looking pretty good.

Don't forget to bring a can or two for the Dump Stew!

See you soon.
