By coincidence, I was in Raystown on Thurday 10/8 and rode the Allegrippis Trails with my 29er. Beautiful area and awesomely maintained trails, if you're inclined to ride MTB.

As I was climbing the first Mountain, and possibly the second, I was thinking nice ride, but I won’t do this again. Soon afterwards, I lost that thought.
There was sone talk that
Bicycle Times may do this again. As commented previously on this thread

The location is pretty central for the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic states, and could be accessible to the South (BD is from from Georgia) and Midwest. It is a doable one-day drive from Boston.

liability ) for the ride.

This event featured accommodations from camping, to cottages and cabins and even a motel on the premises making it easy for participants to gather before and after the rides to plan and socialize. Additionally, the event offered a number of different rides enabling riders of varying skill levels to participate in rides in which they would feel comfortable.
Sounds like a nice venue for an Eighth Annual Fifty-Plus Ride.
