My wife and I lived in Swansea, IL until 2011. We were at Scott AFB for 5 years and moved to Wright Patterson AFB. In two years if you guys are still riding we will try to join up with you. We hope to build a new home in that area after she retires in 2016.

Charlotteweb and I are going to try and make it over too with our friend and fellow Spyder rider from Festus. If it is not raining or snowing we will try to ride over otherwise will just drive over in car.

My hometown is Mount Vernon, IL and my wife is from McLeansboro, IL. So we are moving back that way for family reasons.

It was great to see the turnout on Sunday at Hot Shot's. We had a total of 12 people including some of the original group, some that we met on rydes last year and a couple of new ryders. The group continues to grow and I know Cyclelover63 and I were very surprised and happy to see so many.:ohyea::ohyea:


We had a good time talking about last year's rydes, Spyderfest 2015 (thanks for all the updates SpyderLady;):opps:) and what we would like to do in the upcoming season.

:chat: It was decided that we would schedule the 4TH weekend of each month (starting in March) as a 'Ryde Weekend'. This would be either Saturday or Sunday, depending on what would work best for those that show an interest for that month. Everyone is welcome to suggest destinations and help in the planning. :chat:

We will meet again next month, February 22ND, at Hot Shots in O'Fallon, IL @ 2:00 PM. Look for updates and keep in touch with us on the Metro-East, IL Spyder Ryders Group page...:2thumbs::2thumbs:

As always, ALL ARE WELCOME...!!!!:yes::clap::yes::clap:

Along with destinations,I suggest everyone come up with ideas on creating a group basket for Syderfest..It benefits charity and is something we could easily put together. We have many local and "unique to the area" items that could be included..We may even have someone :dg1: that is in our group that can take it to Spyderfest for us..;););)....We can :chat: it over :coffee:,:cheers: and :popcorn::bbq:......Happy and safe ryding everyone!!!:doorag::doorag:
