Subject: PCGR v.8.0 - A Pocono Odyssey From: Howard Carson Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 16:55:56 -0400 First, thanks to Dave L. for a memorable RCR ... Lenore and I had a terrific weekend. It was good to see everyone, and that hot tub was scrumptious. We rode over the mountain a bit after the rain finally stopped, and made it to Winchester, VA on Sunday, where we grabbed a room, drank leftover beer, and watched Johnny Mnemonic with Blake Johnson and Tom Biggs, who were staying next door. Monday we made it home with an uneventful, but too hot for leathers, ride to PA. So here's another opportunity to get together. October 5-8 is Columbus Day weekend, and time for the 8th annual PCGR. For each of the past 7 years, a group of Denizens has enjoyed an October leaf-peeping ride to various PA destinations. This year's ride is headed for the Poconos, where we have reserved a block of 21 rooms at Blakeslee's Madison Inn, Routes 115 & 903 (near Pocono Raceway). The Inn has a restaurant and bar with pool table, a swimming pool and hot tub. The ride starts with a hearty breakfast at our home in Glenside, PA on Friday, October 5. An entertaining route will be provided to get you to the Madison Inn by mid-afternoon. (Or you can plan your own route and hook up with the group at the Inn.) The $160 per person cost includes two nights' lodging (double occupancy), dinners Friday and Saturday, and breakfasts Saturday and Sunday. Saturday evening's dinner is a catered feast in the Madison's ballroom. Anyone who has that Monday (10/8) off can make arrangements for a third night. Over 20 riders and their [SOs/friends/guests] from previous years have already signed up. There's still plenty of room, so if you want to join us, check www.buckscounty.net/pcgr/, follow the WebBoard link to join the mailing list, email me your intentions, and send in your checks. I have to send the deposit to the Inn next week, so don't procrastinate! Hope to see some of you in October ...
