    Default Winter Rallys

    Does anyone have any information on whether there are any winter spyder rallys scheduled during the winter months? Several "winter visitors" to Arizona are interested in any rallys scheduled during Jan-April.

    Good question. The SW needs one or two mid-winter rallies for sure!

    We are in So. Utah for the winter months and plan on touring the SouthWest. Maybe we can arrange a group meetup somewhere if nothing else.

    Sounds like a good opportunity for another volunteer-led event!! I'll bet some of us in the northern climes would consider coming. Though for me, December would be better. Our worst snow and ice is in January and February.

    Hi Jim,

    Re: "winter visitors" to Arizona

    My brother is a snow-birder with a house in Yuma. Last year when I was down there, I noticed a bunch of Spyders had gathered at the small shopping mall at the SW corner of intersection of I-8 & S. Fortuna Road, Exit #12 off of I-8.

    This was on a Monday evening & I have no idea if this is a normal get together or not.

    Just some info for you,

    Jerry Baumchen

    PS) This shopping mall is where the Applebee's restaurant is located.

    We could do an alignment event, and some rides, if you want.

    That was our group of "winter visitor spyder ryders". We meet every Monday night during the winter for ice cream at Mc Donalds to discuss our next ryde(s).

    We had Ann and Joe (Squared Away) come down to Yuma a couple of years ago for laser alignments. Had a great time. I helped organize and would be happy to do this again if we could get a few to participate.

    I might be up for heading out that way if something develops. But, I need to figure out how to get there from Alabama with out freezing my *%& off. Hank and very cold wind don't get along too well.

    Yes, please keep us informed!! There are quite a few spyder ryders in southern AZ, Tucson, and Phoenix areas. A lot of us poor souls still have to work so weekends would be great if that figures into it at all. I will do what I can to help. Cindy

    This post was the inspiration for Southwest Spyder Ryde-In! I hope you made it to the one in Tombstone but if not then come out to Globe in March. Be sure to look me up and tell me your SL handle so I make the connection. Warning: you WILL be recognized at the Saturday nyte get-together!
