Spring, summer and fall make for excellent motorcycle riding in Pennsylvania the majority of the year. The state has two different climate zones, with the southern region experiencing more humidity than the northern region and mountainous interior. It can rain a good amount in March and April, so pack rain gear for the spring season. The summers are pleasant, especially in the northern and middle regions of the state, so you don't have to worry too much about overheating on a ride. The winter is a different story, and the northern mountains can see significant cold and up to 100 inches of snow per year. So if you are heading out on an early or late season ride, be sure to wear extra layers or heated motorcycle gear before you hit the road. 


Pennsylvania Attractions


Pennsylvania is well-known for its role in The Revolutionary War, and there are several key historic sites to visit while you explore PA motorcycle roads. The number one destination is Gettysburg National Military Park, and there is a lot to experience on this battlefield that signaled the turning point in The Revolutionary War. Next, head to Eastern Pennsylvania to see Valley Forge National Historical Park where General Washington and the Continental Army endured a harsh winter in 1777-78. In addition to historical sites, Pennsylvania is graced with beautiful wild areas like the Pocanos and the Allegheny National Forest as well as scenic waterways like the Allegheny, Susquehanna and Ohio Rivers. Many of the top scenic motorcycle routes in Pennsylvania take riders through the river valleys surrounding these beautiful waterways. If you find yourself in the northern part of the state, be sure to check out Presque Isle State Park. This park is Pennsylvania's only “seashore” situated on a 3,200 acre peninsula on Lake Erie. Finally, don't miss Pennsylvania's epic motorcycle events like Thunder In The Valley in Johnstown or Gettysburg Bike Week

Harrisburg Out & Back - Cycle Gear

Although there is a lot of good riding, across all spectrums, we decided to pick the Gettysburg Battlegrounds to start the ride.  We would encourage all riders, who have not visited, to get there early and check out the sights and history.  The ride will leave the Battlegrounds and head north using scenic US-15 and PA-74 where you can find laid back winding roads and rustic dwellings mixed in with a natural landscape.   Before returning to the store using US-22/322, which travels next to the Susquehanna River, past the PA Statue of Liberty, before returning to the store.

The borough of Port Clinton, Pennsylvania resides within the gap itself.Formed in much the same way as Pennsylvania's other water gaps, Schuylkill Gap is near Hawk Mountain, Weiser State Forest, and some State Game Lands. PA Route 61 as well as the Schuylkill River pass through the gap.
