Hey we'll be there! Staying downtown in Anacordes, where do you have in mind to meet up with?Place is called the Calico Cupboard Old Town Cafe, 720 First Street, La Conner. We meet on the morning of the Oyster Run. I guess the Seattle guys will set the time as the event gets nearer. In previous years , time of meet was 7:30 AM. I plan to be there, too.

Hoping to make it again this year ryding my own Spyder and possibly snagging others to join our group. However, should the weather Gods decide to make it another rainfest, I hope I'll be able to ride as pillion again with Wukka (aka Joe) "if" he has an open seat available which I thoroughly enjoyed - he's a good driver! :2thumbs:

I will attempt to intercept the group as you exit I-5 @ exit 221 (assuming you will be taking that exit to LaConner) at the first gas station on the right in Conway.

But, man,..that's AWFULLY EARLY for a RETIRED GUY to be MOTIVATING! Good thing someone mentioned GIANT CINNAMON ROLLS ! :D

So far the response has been nothing short of AMAZING!

This is looking to be a HUGE Spyder representation at the Oyster Run.

Hoping to see everyone there. Will get a final tally when we are within a week away.

Hi,
I am going to be visiting my daughter and grandkids in Silverdale at this time. I would love to be a part of your trip. I have contacted Brothers in Bremerton to see if they would rent a spyder while on vacation. I havn't heard back from them.
I own a 2011 rts in so. Illinois.

The Red Rocket is out of the shop (still vibrating but that's another thread) so me & the Mrs will meet up with you at the Calico Cupboard. We're staying over Saturday night in Sedro Woolley so we don't have to get up at 5am! that's just way too early!

See you all soon

How many will bow out now that forecast calls for 70% precip on Sunday? I'm still interested to go, but may need to ride as a passenger with Joe again, who's a very good driver. :p

I'd say it's likely Radgirl and I may have to pass. I've not driven in the rain yet, nor in the dark, nor in a large group. We're thinking that's one too many first-time-variables for a 70 mph jaunt up the freeway... We'd really like to go, since we want to meet all the Puget Sound area Spyder riders, but the weather may do us in. We'll make a decision on Saturday, if it still looks like downpour on Sunday, so no one's searching for us floating away at Northgate. :D

If you would like to go and not ride in the group, leave alone, a bit early, and stop at our place. We can join the tail end of the pack in Conway and follow to LaConner if that would make you feel more comfortable.

Thanks, Brad! Let me check with Radgirl and get her thoughts. I'll let you know.

Radthorne
09-23-2011, 11:13 PM
Well, we dealt with one variable this evening - since the weather was so nice, we went out and rode after dark to get some practice at that. Radgirl's coming around to my way of thinking, but we'll see by tomorrow how successful I am in my efforts at getting her on board with the adventure... ;)

Radthorne

Okay, I think we're gonna go anyway, and test out the new rain gear. :D We'll go ahead and meet up with the group in Northgate at 6:00.
