Updated 05/25/2011 Information about Lunch please read. Last year we had some problems collecting money for lunch. The restaurant preferred being paid by us and not having to collect from each individual. It became a little hectic running around collect from everyone at lunch. To make things easier this year we will issue wristbands for lunch and the ride. We ask that you pay for your meal before the tour leaves the Gateway Diner. There you will receive your wristband, tour booklet, and raffle ticket. The price is $18 all you can eat including soda a portion will go to Katelyn's Kause. There are 2 methods of payment, cash Sunday morning or PayPal.

Last updated 05/25/2011The Catskill 300, is a tour of the most scenic riding in the Catskill Mountains. 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 scenery. See below for scenic images from the Catskills. 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. View the group riding video below. There will be drawings for prizes at lunch. A night before meet and greet dinner party at Gully's (Downstairs dinning room) on the river in Newburgh, NY. Take Broadway (17K) east to end. Some riders prefer to stay over Saturday night at the many hotels in the area. This will allow riders to be well rested for the 7 AM breakfast or 8:30 AM departure. New Starting Place This Year!!! The meeting point will be at the Gateway Diner Rt. 300 Newburgh, NY (exit 17 Rt. 87 or 7s Rt. 84) 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 tentatively be at Summerfield's in Margretteville, NY. All you can eat buffet for a per person price of $18. A portion goes to Katelyn's Kause. Breaks will be at "Mobil On the Run" type places for rest rooms and refreshments when ever possible. 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 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, ride at their own risk. Please be properly prepared, you are responsible for yourself and your bike. If you break down the tail gunner will assist you in getting aid but the tour cannot stop.
