I know we've tried before, sometimes we've even pulled it off - what's the thinking out there - Spyder Ryder's ? We have plenty of owners in the Central Maine area - let's do some rides, short, long - how about we start with a simple cruise to Boothbay for lunch this Sunday the 29th?
Or if you have another idea - post it and let's get Spydering!
we're going to be up in maine for about 5 or 6 days camping at shorehills campground (boothbay area) from july26th through august 2nd. there will be at least 4 of us, possibly 5. if you're up for showing us some of your beautiful state, we're up for a tour guide. we are planning on hitting rockport and rockland for the lobster festival while we are there.:thumbup:
That sounds like a great idea, where are you from? First time to Maine on the Spyders? Brain is already trying to plan a route but would be good to know where you have not been, maybe a great opportunity to bring a welcoming committee to Bootbay- the local way of pronouncing

originally from nh, but living in nj and upstate ny now. have been to maine a whole bunch of times. (maybe close to 100) went to unh many moons ago and rode two wheels while in college. this will be the first trip with the spyder for all of us. I've done most of the maine coast to bar harbor, interior around rangley/assicahaus/parmacheny(sorry for slaughtering the spelling) and ridden plenty of times on sleds from millenocket to fort kent and caribou/holton area. all riding on the maine coast is great and I could ride the same areas many times and still enjoy it up there. been to the cellar door winery in Lincoln, it's all great!!! we're great followers when we're not leading, so we'll take you up on any ride.Quote:

Keep us posted......
Can't make it this weekend. Leaving for Nova Scotia on Monday for The Bluenose Rally with Winslow. That get together with spydaman 60 sounds like that would be fun. Keep us up to date and hopefully we can plan on a get together. Will be in Nova Scotia for a week.
The current Sunday forecast is sunny - let's meet at 10am This Sunday 6/29 and take some back roads to Bootbay for lunch. Throw out some votes on where we meet - Augusta Sears parking lot , Waterville ? Another option?
HampRider
Arthur (yellow gold wing) will meet me at Tim Horton in Newport 9.00am Sunday. Anybody else? Hamprider where do you want to meet? Maybe the parking lot at the Augusta civic center or anywhere. :ani29:

Just a heads up, the is going to be a group of us from Michigan visiting, around the week of the 7th. Is there any good place to get good lobster ?
Lopsta is Maine? You better bring it with you! 7th of July or August? Where are you headed Maine? There are some great places in Newcastle, Pemequid, Boothbay, etc.

Great ride today with Mr &Nrs Abbott Spyder and Art & Deb on the Goldwing
We saw a few other Spyders on the road- someday we'll pull off a large group ride!

Thank you Hampryder for the guided tour today, it's was fun and we saw the famous cow**** corner and yes it does exist. It was a beautiful day. We will be busy for a few week ends but hope to catch some more riding in August and September. :ani29:
I have a 2013 RT, love to ride. Machias,Me. Keep me informed. Sandman
spydermaan60 When you get to Rockland for the Lobster Festival and you have time head north to Fort Knox and the Observatory . The observatory is the only one of it's kind in the US. You ride the elevator to almost the top then you have to walk up two more stories. The view is beautiful. It is 45 miles from Rockland to Fort Knox. Another 40 miles will get you to Bar Harbor.
Remember last year a few of us went to Lac Megantic and came back by Jackman, and we were invited to the Moose lodge? There is another one this year. It's a rally. The dates are September 13 and 14, everybody is invited no mater what you ride. I won't be there because of another commitment. :ani29:
Yes Abbot Spyder I remember, but will be in New York that weekend. It was a day to remember.
It was an interesting event, last year. Wife and i went to Woodstock, NB yesterday. Had a family reunion to attend. Bruce
