Wayne and I are leaving Columbus around 8am on the 23rd, both with trailers. Plan to travel 280 to Memphis 55 to 63 to 19. Both of us are retired, happy eaters that enjoy the ride, so times are fluid. Anyone along the route is welcome to join us. We are staying at the Days Inn in St James. We will be 2 aging, weight challenged men with Ga. tags and very bright tight safety green Ga Spyder Rider shirts. Good job on the shirts.

Cracker, what time are yall leaving from that area? I may be able to ride with you through the hellish ATL traffic if I can make that route in time?
Decide that since my passenger lives NW of Atl we are going to do the following route and meet you in Cuba.
Gasden, Al
Florence, Al
then avoiding Memphis by heading north to Jackson, Tn
to Dyersburg, tn
motel here
Second day thru Popular Bluff to Cuba
Ride Safe!

Joan, I59 outta Gadsden runs right into I20 in B'ham. Just a short drive, you could meet up with us in B'ham if you still wanted to ride with the group...........
Also, both routes cross Jackson, TN as well. The problem is timing. I am still not sure what we are going to do. I think my son is going to be able to take the dog to boarding, so we would be able to leave early. Is anyone eating breakfast at the Cracker Barrel early, maybe we just head out early and get some grub.
Florida xpress will be pulling into Cowtown around 3PM. tomorrow. The insane group caught the sane group just south of Dyersburg TN decided to stay the night and we will all be coming into Cuba together. . See you then
A contingent of the GSR spent the night in Siketon after getting food thrown at them at Lamberts Cafe.
Hitting the road in a few hours for run to Cowtown.
Those of us here are on sensory overload. TIRED from the long ride and overwhelmed by the gadgets and gizmos on everyone's Spyders. It has already cost a few of us a PRETTY penny.
Brother Keith it was GREAT meeting you. Thanks so much for everything! I'll be hanging my Gremlin Bell tomorrow morning!!!! :)
Forgot to mention getting to meet so many of our forum compatriots.
Yes, it was great meeting everyone. Hope our loud yellow/green shirts didn't blind anyone. Most of the group is headed back in the rain today and tomorrow. We are at Tammy's mom's up in IL and we will head back for a marathon drive tomorrow. Again, it was great meeting everyone.
My thanks to all of the Georgia Spyder Riders that made the journey to Cuba, MO. What a wonderful experience. For those of you who may have missed it, we had a great ride (and some tired butts) by the time we reached Cowtown.
Our favorite vendors were there in force. Rumor is that SpyderPops did great. (Damn those Bump-Skids of his). Though, UNOFFICIALLY, the silly things seem to improve aerodynamics as we, who had them installed, all seemed to realize better gas mileage. RUMOR ONLY AT THIS POINT!!! Gonna have to do some sort of study. Ultimate was there with a new seat for the RT WITH gas door and back rest, Baker was there with Air-Wings, ISCI was there with many of their farkles (sold out of flag holders the first day), TRICLED was there and many others.
Food was good and getting to meet the faces that go with the names we see everyday on the forum was immeasurable.
Plan on one of these type of events in your future. Durango Owner's Event (Colorado) or Lamonster's BBQ (Tennessee) this year. Or next year but sometime in your future.
