I'm new to this spyder fest thing and I was wondering if it's to ate to show up on that Thur.? When I made plans for my room I didn't realize people would be there on Tue. When I get there do I go right to cow town or what. I'm going to feel out of place there with all you pros. Any help would be great. Thanks Gary

The northen IL, Southern WI group will be going on Tuesday but that seems a little too early. I was at Cowtown on Wednesday afternoon to register. There was a passport run last year that I got started on before the Wednesday night dinner (this was a don't miss event!). Thursday morning would still be OK but you will miss a lot of great times.

Where are you staying? Last year we were greeted at the hotel by 3 folks in the pouring rain and became fast friends over pizza. Just go up to any fellow Spyder Ryder and they should help you out with the logistics.

CowTown USA would be a great place to start. That is where most of us will be.

More will be posted on the Fest.

Glad to have you join in on the fun :clap:

We are planning on arriving on Thursday also (same as last year), can't get off work any earlier than Wednesday. We had plenty of fun Thursday thru Sunday morning, sometimes you just can't get to everything, but what you will get is worth it - the best event around!

My tentative plans are same as last year. Leave home mid April...pick a different route from last year and ride, ride, ride, :yes:. Have already arranged for Cowtown to do some upgrades for Ms Spyder when I first arrive...plus by then will need oil change and am sure additional TLC for "her"...sooooo highly recommend Spyderfest...last year as my first year I was not sure what I was getting into..but had made the decision that if I can ride in I can ride out if not to my liking...heck didn't want it to end...the people are AWESOME and the event is FUN..
Thinking of heading East then down to Cuba...last year I went South then East then up to Cuba....ahhhh so much riding to be done and so much of this wonderful country to see....:clap:. I sure am grateful that I am retired...hate to have one of those things called a job interfering with my riding!!!
Today...present temp 28 degrees...but I will be headed out for the weekend on Ms Spyder...as long as the snow and ice stay away I'm riding!!!!

First of all I want to thank those of you that responded, I'm staying at the Super 8 in Sullivan' which I'm told that isn't that far away,I hope not. I'm looking forward to meeting good Spyder people because I only have Wing people to ride with, which is not all bad. Once again thanks.

Gary Lester You will be approximately 20 miles north of Cuba and Cowtown is 4 miles south of Cuba. You will see it from the interstate on your right. Take next exit, turn right & right again and get ready to have fun. :thumbup:

Just to make sure you know where you are going, Cuba is exit 208 off of west bound I44 and Cowtown is at exit 203 (ther next one westbound.) You won't be able to miss it, just follow all the other :spyder::spyder2: :ani29: :f_spider:.
