2017 – State College Ride

As long as I can remember I have been a subscriber to Road Runner Magazine which is absolutely the best Motorcycle Touring publication out there right now in my opinion. They have something called the Shamrock Tours, and yes it’s basically a Shamrock, you stay in one location and take day trips around the area in different directions every day, 4 or 6 or 9 days is completely up to you how many leaves your Shamrock has.   This was our first attempt at one and we choose the State College area of the great state of Pennsylvania. 

Why? Well honestly Pennsylvania is one of the most beautiful states, the history is so vast you can spend a lot time riding the state and not cover everything, in every corner is history, I love it. State College is centralized allowing you to foray North, South and East and West. Now we all know PA is a West to East state so there is only so much you are going to cover from State College.

The other reason, well Penn State is Jeannie’s Alma Matter, and she was thrilled to go back, stay a few days and also ride around the area, since while in school she did not have the time (or time $) to do it. 

Well wait there is another reason, my brother was on a toy show in Philadelphia area and found himself with some off days afterwards for a ride   so he joined us there. Great area, great riding and with family to top it all.

We decided to trailer the bikes up to State College in order to save us some time since we drove up in one day, but would take two days had we ridden, that allowed us to have more time in Pennsylvania.
