Ok guys and gals I have some great ideas running through my head but I need some input. The ride I am working on is about 200 +/- miles with some interesting stops. BUT I need to know if that is going to be to much? I can work it out where there will be a good breakoff point half way if others want to do the full ride or I can shorten the ride if most want to keep it 100 or less. Please give me some feed back asap before I start dry runs and plan lunch stops.

Sounds good to me and my wife!!!

[JXVolker]

OK, I am confused. I got a private message stating the ride was off. Now I see this thread. Which is it, on or off? If it is on I will be there. Let me know.

[lovingit]

We came last year, and would like to come again. But need to schedule off at three places of employment.

Oct 3-5 :)

[unclegeezer]

Sounds like you have everything under control. Post more info about ride and stops

[rcdurango]

Connie and other's that will be attending,
I think I can speak for Michael (KentuckyGuy) and myself that we're glad to see this ride continuing. :thumbup: I know it was
hard for Michael (who has worked very hard in the past to make this ride happen to cancel). But this year has been an unusal year for
Michael and Ronda and Judy and Myself. We just couldn't put the time into it to make it happen.
We hope Spyder ryder's and Spyderlovers continue to meet in the Kentucky Lake/Kuttawa ride. Its a great event and great time
to just kick back and enjoy the people and the ride.
We wish you all the best and thanks for taking the ball and running with it!
Hope things work out that KentuckyGuy and I can join up with you guys and partake in some Apple Pie.:yes:
Peace!

[connie9003]

Thank you very much, we would love to have you!

Thanks

First of all thank you for stepping up. I have not been able to attend any of the past KY rydes and was really looking forward to this one. To help you a little.....

Believe you may want to shorten it up a bit. 200 miles - - not counting stops and lunch is a pretty hefty/long ryde especially if you have a large group. Just the ryding alone (assuming it is on back roads, etc. is around 3-4 hours)
- - 200 miles with interesting stops..... plan for more time than you think you need at the stops if they are interesting. Trust me the stops will take longer than you think as people will want to look around, shop, etc.
- - Definitely will need a gas stop in there
- Lunch.... if you have a large crowd, lunch may be a lengthy process and a lot of time.
-... and you will need some kind of road captains/guards to help you.
- also consider handing out the route.... not necessarily a map but maybe the turns or something like that. Then if some want to do the ryde on their own or skip a few things the ryders can do that

Just my input... as you may know I have helped/organized many of the Spyderfest rydes and I know the challenge you face. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me. I know you know what you are doing, I am just offering to give input if you need any.

Again, thanks for all you are doing.

[Gunner 02]

Count Charlettsweb Web and I in. We will plan to join and look at getting a room.
Sorry we will be coming from St Louis area too.

[Gunner 02]

Seem to ge a bunch of us from St. Louis area, want to get a group together to travel down for this event?

Charlettesweb and I will be attanding, please PM me and I'll put together a list and route we can use for everyone.

Scott

[Gunner 02]

Just got a room reserved at Hampton Inn. Good to go.

[connie9003]

Hampton Inn has agreed to give us the Triple A discount just tell them that when you call. I haven't had time to contact Days Inn yet but I think they are owned by the same people so I would mention it when you call.


Connie, have you secured any discounts at the hotel for the event?

Thanks
JT

[connie9003]

I think I have it mostly figured out but still have to do my practice run. I believe I have a good turn back point for those that don't want to add the extra miles so we shall see. I don't have an exact mileage yet but I'm sure its under 200 that was a worst case to get in a few things I thought folks might like.

The Days Inn is giving discounts on the rooms... I had that set up before I had to back out on it... All you have to do is tell them that you ware with the Spyder Group..

[cyclelover63]

I made reservation at Days Inn a long time ago for about $69.00 per night

[Gunner 02]

[connie9003]

So far we have 27 confirmed Also the restaurant we are going to for lunch is going to be kind enough to open early for us 11:15-11:30 (Be kind to your waitresses if you know what i mean, they are working just for us ) So hopefully we can get out on time to make the distillery. They close at 2 and so far we are cutting it right on the wire. I am trying to get ahold of them to see if they will be ok with staying open just a little longer to accommodate us, wish me luck.

The ferry we are taking is pretty big. It looks like it will hold about 20 spyders !!! That is great news . Remember it is $1.00 to cross the ferry so have your bill ready lol

I have locked down the route but I cant figure out how to take down the poll ??? If someone knows please help lol

[Kentucky Spyder]

Johnny Jones and Sandy Wilson coming from Auburn KY. Reservations made at the Hampton. Connie sounds like a great time. :clap:

[connie9003]

I have just heard back from the Distillery and they are going to stay open late for us that day :) All our ducks are in a row. Now pray for sunshine people !!!

[Spyderal11]

[jthornton]

Just in case anyone doesn't know where Patti's 1880's Restaurant (http://www.pattis-settlement.com/) is...



The Settlement has 2 restaurants, Patti's 1880's and Mr. Bill's, both serving our famous 2" Pork Chop. This pork chop, our house specialty with over a pound of center cut pork chop seasoned and charbroiled as only Patti's can, needs to be seen and tasted to be believed. We also have great luncheon entrees available, including our popular Kentucky Hot Brown, an open-faced sandwich topped with thin sliced ham and turkey, smothered in our House Cheese Sauce and baked in the oven, then topped with a slice of tomato, crisp bacon and our homemade potato chips.


Can't wait to see everyone there.

Hello to all ! I am trying to work on finalizing numbers and details for this years ride. So far the numbers are WAY DOWN. So i wasnt sure if anyone had missed the new thread or if maybe last year stunk and no one wants to come back :( I only have about ( that i can count) 20 people signed up for this year. So if you are planning on attending PLEASE EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW. Our numbers determine everything about the ride. I love it when people just show up but if I plan for 20 and 50 show it can be an issue or the same the other way around. So if you dont mind to take a minute and email me and let me know even if you are thinking about it id love to hear from you.connie9003@gmail.com Thank you in advance
