A New Event For 2020 ??

[ARtraveler]

We are going to be re-locating to NW Arkansas in 2019.

For Summer/2020:

How many of you would be interested in joining us for a combination, BBQ, camp over, and local scenic rides event?

We hosted such an event in 2015 (the NtA riders) in Alaska and that was a great success.

Details to be worked out--but I would try to schedule this around other events. Lots of people on here that we have not yet met in person and would like to.

And, I am open to suggestions and would welcome "volunteer" help with the process.

Early, yes. But time flies by very fast.

As a participant in the NTA feast that Dewane and Linda put on for us. You would not be disappointed.

At this point you can put Kathy and I down, and I would be happy to help.

[DGoebel]

Count Sharon and Dave Goebel in! We've heard from Les and Kathy about how great the NtA was, we did last fall's Spyder's in the Ozarks (SitO) and really enjoyed it. NW Arkansas is such a beautiful area to ride in. From the Ozark National Forest down to the Ouachita National Forest roads as well.

[NautiBrit]

Count us in. Your NTA hospitality demands our attendance. :2thumbs:

Will you have an oil change pit?

Will put on our, wife and I, schedule. Looking forward as we have been trying to get to Arkansas for a while. Now we have an excuse. Thanks.:yes::yes:

[easysuper]

Looks like my wife and I have a reason to tour Arkansas in 2020.

[Machinegunner]

Will be good to see you again. Looking forward to it.

[5Wheels]

Went to that area several years ago for a Gold Wing event. Yeah, I'd go back there.

So far, none in the potential garages. But, there will be plenty of space.

[ARtraveler]

Thanks to all who have answered so far. Linda has a big smile on her face over this.

Results are about what we anticipated. Not trying to circumvent the big rallies. This will be a smaller gathering of friends old & new.

Any suggestion what to call it?

My vote: The Arkansas Gathering. :thumbup::thumbup:

How about STA - South to Arkansas. A play off the NTA - North to Alaska git together.

I like it. But the Florida and Louisiana people are also welcome. :roflblack: I will put it in the hopper.

[missouriboy]

How about STA - South to Arkansas. A play off the NTA - North to Alaska git together.Doesn't work for half the country. I would end up in Mexico, and many of us would sink in the Gulf of Mexico. :yikes:

NW Arkansas isn't very far from the geographical center of the lower 48: Liberal County, Kansas.
"Griddle in the Middle?" :joke:

The larger question is: What is AKSPYDERMAN going to change his handle to? :hun:

Whoops! I didn't change mine, did I? Never mind! :opps: (Apologies to Gilda Radner)

Louisiana is now on my must see states. I am very hungry thanks to the latest on the Zimmern List on Travel Channel. Only have a handful of states left to see that I have not previously been in. The AR area is going to put me right in the area for the new stuff.

No restrictions on just the letter A. Have also lived in W, M, and I.

Relatives, lower cost of living, and warmer climes are the latest reason for what I hope is my final move. :yes::yes:

forgot to mention in previous message, but NISR would be happy to share any and all ideas of a rally. we have a unique group that stages our own very successsful annual rally in August of each year in Council Bluffs, IA. see us on Facebook or our Spyderfever website.

And we like to ryde, and the mosquitoes down here are MUCH smaller and fewer than up there! We were on a trip to a rally up by Harrison, AR, was riding down Hwy 7 coming home (back to Austin, TX) and saw the gates for Hot Springs Village. A year later we were living here, and we love it. Hope you find the right place up by Mountain Home and it fits perfectly for you.........oh, and yes we are in for the BBQ!

First of all, it is not too early for good planning to happen.. NISR (Nebraska Iowa Spyder Ryders) just completed our very successful 2019 rally and are working on our 2020 rally.
I, for one would be very interested in attending something in your area. I'm sure if the timing is OK, I could have some other members of NISR attend? as soon as yu firm up a date, please let us know. tks
BIG F

[ARtraveler]

I have had additional thoughts concerning our proposed event. We are finally moved and still getting settled in. I was very impressed by all the non-AR people that were interested. Only a few people from the new area showed interest.

I also note that there are currently three events within 150 miles or so of our area. Spyder Palooza, Spyders in the Ozarks, and Green Cty SL in Grove OK.

I have decided not to step on anyone else's toes. I am feeling that we do not need another event at this time. I do thank all those that showed interest.

We are going to meet up with new and old friends through the other events at this time. Headed off to Grove OK in less than a month now.

[Peter Aawen]

Maybe you could run a 'SpyderLovers StA BBQ' tagged on either end of one of those other events instead of doing a stand-alone event that might compete?! Doing it that way might even add to the turn-out for whichever event is chosen? There again, why limit yourself to just one of them?? :dontknow: Just sayin' :ohyea:

[pegasus1300]

Peter has a good idea. TOI always has a ride and lunch for TOI members during Deadwood 3Wheeler Rally. It is a great opportunity to meet others TOI members in person without having to do a full scale rally or Ride In.

[Revalden]

Hello, I'm a member of the Spyder Riders of Broken Arrow, Ok. Ya'll (You all ) are more than welcome to attend our 2nd Annual Jamboree in Grove, Ok. Oct. 3-4. The city of Grove is rolling out the Red Carpet for us and we'll have rides scheduled that you can sign up for (I'm leading one of them.. "A Two Hour Cruise" ~75 miles. My first real ride (lotsa twisties) was with this group to Eureka Springs, Ar. for their Spring Fling and there were HUNDREDS of bikes. So if ya'll want to go to their next Spring Fling book Your room NOW. If/when you get your BBQ up and running I'll for sure be there. BTW, the state of Arkansas really caters to Bikers of types. We love it over there.

Thank you for all who have responded.

We will most likely see you at the other events.
