2009 Carlisle Bike Fest: July 17-19 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds

It’s All about the Destination; the Ride is ALMOST Half the Fun

Sunday, July 12, 2009

The ride to the 2009 Carlisle Bike Fest in Carlisle, Pennsylvania just south of the state’s capital in Harrisburg is ALMOST half the fun of the weekend. No matter which direction you come from, there is a tour ride that will be loaded with plenty to see in the way of scenic mountains, farms, orchards and battlefields. Carlisle is located less than two hours away from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC and under four hours from New York and Pittsburgh. Coming up from the Washington, DC area you ride through the apple orchards and battlefields of Adams County. From Philadelphia, it is the Amish Country of Lancaster County that separates you and your bike from Carlisle. Coming from the north or east you will have to climb and zigzag through the Appalachians or Poconos.

The reason we say that the ride is ALMOST half the fun of the weekend is because the weekend itself and Carlisle Bike Fest is filled with so much activity that no matter how great the ride is, it is the destination in this case that you look forward to the most. When you ride into Carlisle, you will be astonished by the number and variety of bikes (V-twins, choppers, sport bikes and metric bikes), the hundreds of vendors, the bands on stage all weekend, the stunt shows spread throughout the 100-acre fairgrounds facility and everything a major motorcycle event could possible offers in one place. It’s like the slogan from this year’s show says, “Bikes, Bands, Shows and Giveaways;” what else could you ask for? The best part about the combination is that the bikes remain the number one priority and focus; in Carlisle everything else is just an added bonus. Mark the date and make the ride to the 2009 Carlisle Bike Fest, July 17-19.
