I'm in depending on the route. Ive been looking for an excuse to go back up to rt 144. Whats the general direction yall going? Ive always wanted to visit the pennsylvania grand canyon. I was told from a friend who used to live up there the roads in that area were amazing.

Here is part of few past rides I've done along with a few new roads. The northern section is near PA grand canyon which I've always wanted to visit.

How many days / miles were you thinking? A 3 day 630 mile ride is VERY easy to do. I know once you get in northern pa you can cover a lot of twisty miles relatively quickly due to road higher speed limits and lack of human population. On rt 144 there was a few signs throughout the road that said "next town 30 miles" and you would drive through that in 4 seconds and see another sign "next town 25 miles"

. Heres a picture from one of the 1 street towns.

I went to the PA Grand Canyon 2 years ago but it was not on a bike. Very cool place and definatly worth visiting. While in the area, we could travel west and check out the Kinzua Bridge and Austin Dam. Hit up rt 44 too.

Who is leading this and how many days / miles are we talking? I have a lot of experience leading rides and planning routes so I could offer my services if needed.
Oh and yall really wanna camp? I don't have that kind of equipment or hauling capabilities to start hauling tents and sleeping bags and shit. Let me know what yall wanna do and I can help out where needed.
