I think I can do that. Will meet you at the Kwik Trip in Windsor.:thumbup:

Good to hear John.. so far about 9 Spyders expected.

sorry can't make it :( - month end processing at work.

Have a great ride. This is really nice country to ride in.

Hey jvicker are you going to be able to make it this weekend?

It's gonna be pretty chilly in the morning but I should be there.

Greta, I are planning on riding if my dealer gets my :spyder2: 12K service (Brake fluid and Anti-Freeze, tires) done on Friday. This will be their first brake fluid replacement so I am crossing my fingers and :pray:.

Got my :spyder2: back today :clap:from it's 12K service. My dealer has now done their first 12K service :ohyea:. I'll meet everyone in the morning but don't think Karen will be up for riding with the temp around 36 deg.

Thanks for the update Jeff, will be good to see you again. Got my cold weather gear ready. Hope Karen stays warm.

Greta I had a great ride Saturday! :2thumbs: It started off a little cold but ended up a beautiful sunny day! You picked out some scenic back roads and places to visit. I have attached my files at the link below.

Thanks Jeff, I am so greatful that you invited me to that first benefit run and look how are group has grown!! It really enhances the whole Spyder experience for me. '
I even had some one write me that they saw our caravan this past Saturday on the way back from test driving a Spyder and considered it a good omen. How cool was that?!? Check out my picture[s] from the album Baraboo Ryde Oct 1, 2011 on the Share site Spyder Times.
