North/East Riding Schools???

I'm moving out of the frozen state of Ak to Pittsburgh, PA in a few months. The riding season up here is very minimal (maybe may-september) if weather permits. Now that I'm moving to a place where the weather is a little more normal, I'm interested in getting into a school this summer at some point.
So...does anyone know of a good school/track close to Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania even?

Poconos I think.

Mid-Ohio is in Mansfield about 1/2 way between Columbus and Cleveland and has a good school and AMA races in August and October. Also check out NESBA.com - Sportbike Track Day Organization.

Pocono is still going to be a drive...although if you do plan on making a trip there for a track day keep me in mind. I would think Beaverun or Mid-Ohio would be more in your neighborhood though.

Closest two tracks to P-burg I can think of off the top of my head are BeaveRun, which is the closest, and Mid-Ohio. Both are really nice tracks. Organizations that run trackdays there are Sportbike Track Time Sportbike Track Time - Get on the right track !! Toll Free #888-390-4020, and NESBA NESBA.com - Sportbike Track Day Organization
Team ProMotion also runs days at the Beave, but not Mid-Ohio.
All three of these schools offer instruction in their Novice groups.
There are probably other groups as well.

There is also Nelson Ledges in OH and Summit Point in Northern WV.
