The 2008 Catskill 300, is a 264 mile tour of the most scenic riding in the Catskills. There will be breaks approximately every 90 minutes. If you cant go 90 minutes or 70 miles in the saddle this ride may not be for you. People who ride almost every weekend or commute to work on a motorcycle should have no problem. We will be riding mostly winding country roads along many creeks, rivers, reservoirs, waterfalls, countless farms and endless spectacular views. Please never out ride your skills. Enjoy the scenery and wildlife but do not ignore the road conditions and riders around you. Do not worry about keeping up. The ride team will be aware of riders and adjust accordingly. Riders who jeopardize the safety of others will be asked to leave. It would be helpful if riders would familiarize themselves with hand signals and group riding techniques before the ride.

Route booklet will be provided at the starting point for all riders who notify us by June 20th of their attendance.

There will be drawings for prizes at lunch. A night before meet and greet dinner party at P & G's Bar & Grill in New Paltz, NY. Some riders prefer to stay over Saturday night at the Super 8 or The Rodeway Inn in New Paltz. This will allow riders to be well rested for the 7 AM breakfast or 8:30 AM departure.

The meeting point will be at the College Diner 500 Main St. (Rt. 299) New Paltz, NY Get there early enough if you want to eat breakfast with the ride crew. Pre ride meeting outside at 8:15. Kickstands are up at 8:30 AM! There are no fees for joining us on this ride but be sure to bring money for meals and snacks. Lunch will probably be at Summerfields in Margretteville, NY. All you can eat buffet for $20.00 per person. This is the same as last year but for 2010 it has yet to be confirmed. Confirmation will be posted well in advance of the ride.

Breaks will be at "Mobil On the Run" type places for rest rooms and refreshments. Stretch your legs use the bathroom and purchase a snack. Please be as quick as possible, the more riders in the group the longer the breaks will take. Choose easy to eat & drink snacks & beverages in order to get back on the road promptly. Please don't waist time "shopping around" if you can't decide on a snack you're probably not that hungry and can hold off until lunch.

There will be "bail out" points along the way. These points will be listed on each riders map or booklet. Bail out points are intersections of major highways where those who want to head home may leave the group. Directions will be provided to the vicinity of our starting point. Then you are on your own. There is no membership or fee's of any kind associated with this tour. All riders are welcome to follow us as we tour the Catskills. The Road Captain and all who follow the ride at their own risk.
