Meeting at Don's Kawasaki in Hellam at 8 o'clock. Kickstands up at 8:15. Russell Fleming offered to lead us on a ride to Ephrata. Then leave Ephrata around 10:30 and ride to East Berlin for a late lunch at Wild Hog BBQ. This is in south central Pa.

It might be helpful to post the state where this is happening, to make it easier for those that don't know the area to find it.

Guessing it is PA, since that was the only state I could find with those place names.

Good point. Hellam is in York County and Ephrata is in Lancaster County. Both are in Pennsylvania. 
 
Would also be helpful to have this added to the COG online calendar. As a member Chuck can contact his assistant area director for the area director and work it out to have it posted on the count.

Will do Steve.
 
Please don't bust on Chuck I am the one who told him to post it here.
The ride from Don's to Ephrata is 35 mils long and should take about 45 minutes.
The ride from Ephrata to Wild Hog BBQ is 135 miles and should take about 3 hours.
Wild Hog BBQ is the Best BBQ up in this area.
 
A 135 mile bonus ride, and the best BBQ to be found?  Now I'm bummed I can't make it. Hopefully it's so good you do it again.  :-[
 
Hello everyone. 1st post. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to meet in a specific area at Ephrata. With the amount of bikes that attend this event it makes it hard to find everyone that may arrive late or on there own. The lower lot or somewhere in that area may make it easier to locate the group. Just an idea. Thanks, Ron
 
This ride will be on the calander in short order, just waiting for one more item of info.
May I suggest that while you all are there, that you take a great connie photo op
at the Haines Shoe House..

The Shoe House is located at 197 Shoe House Road near the Hellam exit of U.S. 30.
Take PA Rt. 462 east off of I-83 to the town of Hellam.
Turn north (left) off of Rt. 462 on to Shoe House Road.
The Shoe House is located approximately 4 miles east of York, PA on PA Rt.462.

Welcome Ron. Last time we rode over we met in the upper lot by the dumpsters. There was some shade there. It was a little relief from the heat. We'll look for ytou there.
 
I was planning on going down the 4th, but my wife already as plans so I'll be watching the kids that day.

When you pull in the parking lot at the VFW turn left up the hill. We're going to try and park up there by the dumpsters.

Ephrata if I can swing it and know the location.

141 S State St, Ephrata, PA. There will be flagman stopping traffic for the bikers on S. State. Once in  Ephrata just follow a group of bike your find it. We should be there around 9AM
 
My plan is the meet in the upper parking lot close to the dumpers and leave at 10:30 and should be to Wild Hog sometime around 1:45 to 2 for a lunch. The route has us making a left turn on main street, if we all don't get out together I will stop at the gas station just cross the bridge to regroup.
At this time the weather looks GREAT.
