Also going to Sturgis, alot of people there who only have two wheels, figure they need to see if you have a great ride, you do not have to trailer your bike to get there.
Please keep me informed, leaving July 30 to Sturgis then to MI. Be back in Sept.

I'm interested. Just joined the San Diego chapter and joined them for a ryde last month. Being in Yuma I'm close to equal distance between SD and Phoenix.

Because I'm retired and travelling, I can't commit to a position, but I will gladly help in any way I can.

I belong to a group on Meet Up called Spyder Ryders Of The Southwest. Just started in February and 55 members so far. We are centerally located in the northwest valley of Phoenix. Our members, however, hail from all over Arizona. I'm sure many of us would be interested in supporting a chapter. In the mean time, when the ice cream trucks stop melting, we will be riding often. A very active riding group and very friendly folks. Check out our Facebook page. We've been from the White mountains to Bisbee, to Yuma, to Flagstaff on rides. PM me if things get off the ground and I would be happy to spread the word.

I'm in that Meetup group also. I'm not a big fan of Meetup groups, but I'll try out a ride or two and see how it goes. I'm also not keen on riding 75 miles to Surprise for a meetup.

Hi Pam. A long ride to start a long ride can be rough for some. The group plans rides to other parts of the state and beyond so that others that are not local can participate. We usually have an east and west valley rally point. We also meet up with groups along the way. We met a group in Tucson on our way to Bisbee (as an example). I know that many in our group, me included, have expressed an interest in a SROA chapter in AZ. Keep us in the loop as things progress. My mom says it's OK for me to be in more than one group. She's very wise.

[YumaJim]

If all that is holding this up is someone as Vice President then put me in. We need an Arizona Chapter!

Sounds like this is going to be another Phoenix group. We are two hours away here in Tucson and would have to ride an extra four hours just to ride with you. (two hours to and two hours from) I used to ride with a M/C group from PHX and a seven o'clock departure meant that I had to leave Tucson at 5AM to be there and then ride another two hours home after the ride. Tried to start a group of riders here in Tucson but very little interest.

I would like to be included in the SROAZ. Let me know whats up and I'll see if I'm available. I've seen a few Spyders out here in the South East Valley.
