Ok. So I have only lived in the Tucson (Sahuarita) area for a year now. I see two clubs from Phoenix and one from Sierra Vista, but nothing specific to Spyders in the Tucson area? Back in Wisconsin I spent some time helping a very successful club and may have a desire to start something up in this area. I wanted to gauge if there would be any interest from the area in a very informal group that maybe did a monthly ride and some local dinner rides. Feel free to respond here or private message me if you would be interested in meeting and riding with some other Spyder Ryder's. Thank you.

You should have enough considering there are 64 members there and many non members. Hope you get some quick responses and get a group/club going there can never be enough ryding groups...:thumbup:

I'm game. PM me and let's talk. We do need our own group here in the Tucson area.

I was looking for this post!!! I saw it the other day and didn't have a chance to reply. Anyway I hope this works out! Tucson could use a group. Keep me updated, we would love to join you for a few rydes or whatever. If you would like to come join us and the other 2 groups from Phoenix on November 12th at Roper Lake that would be so awesome.

Thanks for the kind response. We would join you guys more often if it was closer. Bonnie's condition doesn't always allow us to go for 90 minutes before the ride even starts. We have also been pretty busy with our 17 year old. We are not quite empty nesters yet, like most Spyder Ryder's. We will look at the November ride. If this group can get some traction I'm sure we will be putting some shared possibilities out there. Already looking at a weekend overnight ride on Route 666 Devils Highway with a stay in Alpine. Wondering if it would be OK to gauge interest with an email to your group as I know there are a few from this area? Don't want to over step.

My calendar is full. Maybe others. Where are you located and what interest might you have in a Tucson area group?

Yes. We have ridden with them. Great group. However they are out of Sierra Vista, a 90 minute ride most times for me before even getting started. We will continue to hook up with them on occasion when the rides head more to the North. My thoughts with this idea is get people from the Tucson area together.

I live on the east side of Tucson. I'm on fb Southern Arizona Spyder Riders. Sunday rides are hard because of work. Saturday Spyder rides and car shows get my interest. My 2012 RT Limited is my first choice to go anywhere.

I've been riding my Spyder with a BMW group for the past several years. Nice guys, a little too fast, so I've been looking around for a Spyder group. Sierra Vista is a little far so is anything happening with this potential new group?

Yes. If you are on Facebook like our page "Tucson Area Spyder Ryders". We have already done a few rides. If you don't use Facebook, message me your contact info, I can add you to my email list.
