...we could just arrange another Michigan (& Indiana) ryder get-together soon...

We should arrange a day and time and meet up at Town & Country Sport Center (http://www.cementcityharley.com/) in Cement City, MI (http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Cement+City&state=MI&country=US&latitude=42.07&longitude=-84.330597&geocode=CITY). They have a great restaurant next door, the Artesian Wells (http://www.thewellson12.com/). In addition, a lot of great places to ryde!

In! August or later work best for me. :thumbup: Didn't someone suggest 8/15 to meet at the Wells?

8/15 is the Nascar Race at MIS. I'll be there on my Spyder but you may not want to fight the crowds or traffic!

[k3232668]

a meet up there sounds good to me. Prefer not to be when a Nascar race is happening, way to crowded in the area to be enjoyable. That is the dealer I bought mine from.

[Rando]

8/13,14 & 15th. (http://www.mispeedway.com/Get-Tickets/Event-Calendar.aspx) Definitely a NO! How about August 28th at noon with August 29th as an alternate in case of rain?

Sounds good to me. :thumbup: We wouldn't be able to get near the place on a NASCAR weekend!

[Littlebadwolf]

I proposed a Michigan gathering a few days ago..Proposed a Saturday meet/ride from the dealership to Hell, Michigan and back. The 21st is the date in mind..after the nascar crowd is gone. The dealer is Cement City Town and Country Sport, where I bought my spyder. Can-Am will be there on the 18th/19th as part of thier demo tour. Wish it was for the 20/21st but we can have a fun ride without them. If anybody's interested, send me email at Littlebadwolf@aol.com or leave a note here. I'll put together the event day if I see that anybody's interested. A side note..If you're ever in the Jackson area, let me know...we'll go out riding.

Works for me.

The 21st is the date in mind..I have a confliction with that weekend. http://mi-gmidnightriders.org/10midnight_ride.htm

[SpyderAnn01]

I can't make the 20th but I'm in for the 28th.

If you can't make the 28th, let me know. I should be free on the 21st and I'm always up for a ride. My routes often take me through Hell (MI, that is) and the road was recently repaved. It's not good, but it's better. We were on it this past Sunday. Lots of nice roads in the Waterloo and Pinckney Recreation Areas, too.

[Littlebadwolf]

I'm going to defer trying to set up a date..it looks like there's other attempts to make it happen so I'll watch to see what date everybody decides on and I'll show up for the ride <laughing>. I'm glad to hear the road into Hell has finally been repaved, it was really getting bad entering from the west side of town. As I said before..if you're in the area and just want to ride, just send me an email or leave me a note and I'll show up. I'm retired and nothing else to do except ride. Don't tell my wife though, she'll have a different opinion regarding my "nothing else to do" statement.

dltang and I might be able to meet up in the Pinckney / Hell area but I don't think I'd want to ride all the way to Cement City.

Fine! Go ahead and go to hell then! :roflblack:

Couldn't resist....

Okay-- Cement city is 1 hour from Hell.

Perhaps meeting up in Cement City and then ryding up to Hell as a group and meeting you guys up there?

The reason I said that was I thought the plan was to meet in Cement City and then ride to Hell. Not sure that I wanted to tack on an extra two hours of riding for that day / event.

[Spydr in KS]

If anyone sees a red spyder with KS tags in the South Haven or Kalamazoo area 7/18 to 8/7 that would be me! :ohyea::ohyea:

Give a shout when you are in the area and free. We'll ride over from Battle Creek and meet up somewhere.

[Littlebadwolf]

Send me an email or leave a note when you're here...I'll ride over and meet up with you guys.

[Zombo]

...and I should be back from my ryde to ID and back by the 31st of July. I'm up in Alto, MI - by Grand Rapids :doorag:

Zombo, I have a Lowell address but I like to say I live in North Alto as I'm south of I-96. Haven't seen you on the road, or any other Spyder for that matter. Shoot me a PM sometime and we can link up for a ride.

[Spydr in KS]

How about the one weekday evening the 1st week of August? Sherman's Ice Cream or Joe's Bar & Grill in South Haven would be good meeting locations.

[SpyderAnn01]

I might be able to do that, it is a little far for a night ride by myself...but I think I could do it.

[NancysToy]

Sounds good to me. We're always up for ice cream. :D Our schedules are pretty loose during the week, so just let us know what works for you. PM and we can work out the details.

[SpyderAnn01]

Oops, I didn't read the quote...private party never mind

Hey, everybody interested would be welcome! We'd love to meet you guys, too.

[SpyderSteve]

Hey, everybody interested would be welcome! We'd love to meet you guys, too. Does that include CDNS? i am on holidays that week and i am thinking about checking out HELL [michigan]

Just don't blink when you pass through. Not much there but the Dam Site Inn (good food) an ice cream store and a general store, but fun in its own strange way. I hope to join the group down in Cement City and enjoy the ride to Hell.

[NancysToy]

I hope to do the Cement City thing, but it would make for a long day. An hour and a half to Cement City, another hour to Hell, then an hour and a half back home. Quite a ride for lunch or ice cream. We may elect just to meet up at one place or another, like BJT. Depends on the day, too. The 14th and 21st are both booked solid. We already have several events to have to choose from.

Steve,
Give me a call when you get in the area. I live about 35 miles from Hell. I'll PM my number.
Mike

[dancogan]

On August 28th I'll plan on meeting whoever can make it for lunch at the Wells. For some it will be a plenty long ride just getting there. It will be fun to meet some other :spyder2: lovers. There will always be an opportunity to head up to Hell after lunch for those so inclined. I can do that, too, since I live in the general area anyway.

I think someone has set up another ride on August 21st to meet at the Wells or the dealership and leave from there for Hell. That sounds fine, too, and I'll hope to make that gathering.

Did I get it all right? Do we have two meet 'n greets?

[Littlebadwolf]

Yes...I proposed the 21st...Saturday...reason I didn't look at the 28th is because the Forbidden Wheels M\C has thier annual party in Hell and gets so crowded you can't park less than 1/4 mile away and can't get served without spending 2 hours in line. I'll be there on the 21st...rain or shine....getting used to riding in the rain anyways ...Larry

[SpyderAnn01]

I'm planning on going on the 28th, I don't think I'll go to hell that day though. Hell may be a trip for me for a later date. If anybody is going to Cement City on the 28th from the Grand Rapids/Lansing area please let me know.

[Littlebadwolf]

Ok...I've attempted to get a date set 3 times on this Cement City meet and it doesn't seem to be working. I won't participate in the ride on the 28th because it'll be a nightmare with the Forbidden Wheels having thier annual party in Hell just because of the sheer volume of people that attend...you can't find parking space and if you do, you stand in line forever trying to get served anything. I wanted to meet up with other Spyder riders but it looks like I'll be attending a different poker run on the 28th with a bunch of 2 wheelers. I am however looking forward to future Spyder rides that are put together.

Looks to me like there are two rides planned. The 21st to Hell from Cement City and the 28th for lunch in Cement City and a side trip to Hell for those inclined to go.

[Rando]

August 28th - Meet up in Cement City between 11 and noon for lunch and a side trip to Hudson Leather (http://www.hudsonleather.com/) for those inclined to go.
