In June every year, the Blackthorne Resort 348 Sunside Rd East Durham NY, does a Spring Motorcycle Ride and Party, The event has become known as the warm up event for the Legendary Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival.
This year the event was once again amazing, it started off with a great dinner which included some amazing custom made pasta by the one and only “Chef Debo”, from 7 to 9pm , followed by a Party in the main bar with live Music by Probable Cause and a 2nd Party back at the Tiki Bar with live Music By Schmooze. Both parties were jumping, and most of us walked back and forth doing a little Bar hopping on the Blackthorne Resort grounds.
The next morning we got up for Breakfast and then at 10am the official “Spring Ride” began. It took us all over on a beautiful ride of the Catskill Mountains. The ride stopped midway for a great lunch, before ending at a “Private Motorcycle Museum by JR” in the Cairo area. The Museum had so many old and classic Motorcycles , snow mobiles and all sorts of other things many of us have not seen in a long long time.
Then it was back to the Blackthorne Resort for Dinner and more late night partying. In the main bar Saturday Night was a favorite band of mine “Geezer” who played while people danced and motorcycles drove through the bar. Back at the Tike Bar the party was also jumping with the rocking sounds of Restless Revival.
This was yet another great event of many put on by the Blackthorne Resort every year. But Nothing compares to the Legendary, One and only Catskill Mountain Thunder Motorcycle Festival, which will be held this year from September 9th to September 14th 2025 , this event is not to be missed by anyone who rides a Motorcycle.
