september ride??

[superfly3]

For the people not going to spyder in the smokies this year,I was thinking of having a ride to dutchman essenhaus in Middlebury, IN. They have great food and lots to see and do. Wondering what everyone thinks of this idea,please chime in and let me know. It sounds like it could be a good ride:2thumbs:

Greg

[retread]

Or we could do both. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to make it to Gatlinburg, but Middlebury / Shipshewana sounds like a good trip.

john

[8LEGS]

I'm in, granted I'm not working.

john

Thats a great idea john we could do both,date TBA just wondering how many is interrested.

Greg

[Trickie Dick]

I'm going to Gatlinburg but would be interested in making the trip if the date works out.:thumbup:

[NewRider]

Kathy and I are genuinely interested...cannot confirm at present. However, if we go to Shipshewana, she is insisting on taking our Camry, so she can bring her loot home...:roflblack:

Greg, I did'nt get a pm from you but in response to your invite, I'm going to have to pass on that weekend. It's just too close to Gatlinburg and will be getting ready for that. Another time:yes:
Dick

[8LEGS]

If you all want to go earlier. thats ok. I'm sure I will have some time off before that. If I can't make a ride I'll catch the next one.

[superfly3]

Dick

ok dick and sorry you didn't get the pm invite I thought I did give you one.

[superfly3]

Earlier date is fine with me too,when ever, most weekends in sept. I am free.:2thumbs:

[Trickie Dick]

Greg, no problem on the pm. If you guys want to schedule something earlier that's fine with me. John is out of town for the next week or so and probably won't be able to make it. I'll be out of town next weekend but any other time is fine with me. Like Tina said, plan it:chat: and I'll try to make it. Her schedule(and your greg) is alot more restrictive than mine.
Dick

[superfly3]

Ok lets plan on sept. 12th thats a saturday and we can meet at the 20 bypass Indiana 19 north exit.What time is good maybe 11am at the exit,that way we would have time to get there by 12pm for lunch. How does this sound to everyone?

Greg

[8LEGS]

I can't commit yet, as my current schedule is through Aug 25th. Go ahead and plan. If I can make it I'll be there.

[NewRider]

"...20 bypass Indiana 19 north exit..." :dontknow:

U-m-m-m...okay, I'm gonna have to check a map, so I can figure out where that is. I'm not a native of Indiana-only moved here two years ago-and I still find the Hoosier system of numbering roads and highways very confusing.

The date's okay, AFAIK, though...

NewRider:spyder:

[superfly3]

Take 31 north and you will run right into US20 bypass near South bend and follow the signs to Elkhart:chat:

Greg

[retread]

Well, are we?

john

[8LEGS]

I have to work the 12th, so I won't be able to make it. :(

[superfly3]

Sorry Tina maybe you can catch the next one and yes John it is still on I still want to see how many we are going to have show up and hoping maybe some michigan riders. So if you are going to attend please chime in and let me know so I can get a head count.

Thanks, Greg

[retread]

I'm planning on being there, still trying to figure out if I can make Gatlinburg too. Getting some things done around here is taking longer than I thought it would.

john

[Trickie Dick]

I'm planning on going as well. Maybe John, you and I can ride up together.
Dick

[retread]

Works for me, I'm at the point I need to get out of here (house) for a while, I hear Brown County calling; hills, curves, good scenery, ok, I'm gone.

john

[8LEGS]

I'm jealous ..... :opps:. I haven't had a good ride in a while. Heck, my last weekend off was July 18th.

You all have a good time & I'll be thinking of you! Ride a mile for me. :doorag:

[retread]

C'mon, Tina, play hookey and go with us.:clap:

john

[superfly3]

C'mon, Tina, play hookey and go with us.:clap:

john

:agree:

[Trickie Dick]

Let's kidnap her:clap:

[NewRider]

Don't forget to abduct her Spyder, too!;)

[8LEGS]

I really would like to go, but I am hosting a Back-To-School Photo shoot for school children who's families can not afford to purchase the expensive picture packages the school offers. With me, they will be getting professional quality photos at 1/4 the cost. I'm not making any money off of this, but I wanted to help the people of my community in this hard time. I really do wish I could ride with you all, but this is a good cause.

[retread]

Best reason for not going I've heard in a long time. I'll try to take extra pics for you. Essenhaus has really good apple butter, want a jar of it?

:2thumbs: You bet! Thanks.

Is the offer still good to help me install some NMN risers?

[retread]

Sure, let me know when.

john

[Trickie Dick]

Sure, let me know when.

john

We can meet at my house for the riser install. Half way. I think I have all the tools we need, John but we can discuss it. Tina, just let us know when.
Dick

[superfly3]

That is a good reason not to go,hope you can go on the next one.
What time is good for you guys to meet,I thought we could meet at the 7-eleven right off of SR 19 north exit it is at the first stop light when you get of the exit ramp.Maybe 10:30am or 11am that should give us time to get there and also time for you guys to rest and get some gas or something to drink,also I have a thread in the michigan forum have no response from anyone yet tring to get some more intrested thats why I backed it off alittle from the 20th because of gattlenburg.

Greg

Need an address for GPS. I'll ck with John(retread) for a time. How long did it take you to drive down to Indy when you came down for the banner exchange?
Dick

[superfly3]

It was an hour and 20 mins. from Elkhart to Peru and another 45 mins. from the to the gas station in Indy.

Greg

[superfly3]

Dick here is the address for the 7-eleven I was talking about,

7-eleven

Folks,

Kathy and I are, regrettably, opting out for this time. She's still not totally comfortable riding her Yammie Virago. (It's 1100cc; the biggest she's previously ridden was 750cc...)

In my case..I have a personal policy that, on weekends, we ride together. We're going to attend a Sunday biking event in Lafayette. After that, we'll just wait and see.

Have fun! Perhaps next year...:pray:

[superfly3]

sorry that you are not able to attend Newrider maybe next time.

I'm still working on getting my bike fixed up for longer rides. I messed up my back so I gotta get a good seat before driving that far. Hopefully, that will be soon :pray:....but not that soon. Maybe next time though.

How many will be going?
