I too am planning on going on this ride. Jim Potts motor group is trying to get a group of Spyders to ride over together to sign up.

where is the starbucks at like what cross streets ? ANND what time you all looking to meet up I think the wife gave me the OK to go !!!!
I live in Lake Villa about a mile from Nielsen's. I got my Spyder last year the week of the 2010 Owners event June 25-26 so I was able to go over to the Lehmann Mansion Saturday and hang out with several hundred Spyder's. It was a world I knew nothing about ontill then.
I plan on doing the run 7/10. Last weekend eleven of us ran up to Minnesota along the Mississippi on the Wi. side and then back down through Iowa and took a ferryboat crossing back to Wi.
I was the only Spyder(Rock Star):spyder2:
Erik, it is the Starbucks in Mundelein (60 and 83)...where 83 goes north.
See you guys on 7/10...
awesome !!!! have we decided on what time ?
:ohyea::yes:
I'm checking with Jim over at Jim Potts Motorsports. I'll send something out as soon as we have firm plans.....
Jeff, Nielsens posted information on their website now under Upcoming Events.
Chicagoland Ride for kids with a raffle to win a new Spyder.
I like that spyder is bad ass looking ... I shoulda bought some raffle tickets today .
I love graphics they put on it! You can still get raffle tickets on the day of the ride. It will start at 7ish I think. They told me today that they have started with 10,000 raffle tickets and they sold 1/2 of them at this point (3 for $10 dollars)
Too bad the ride starts so early, I would have a two hour ride just to get there. I didn't find any information on the actual ride so I will pass on this one.
I stopped by the dealer this winter and may have saw this GS. They had one there that was being raffled off. It was a very well used '09 with a wrap that looked like someone use sand paper to clean it. I didn't buy a ticket at that time.
Too funny...it's the same 09 Spyder. I am pretty sure it's in the good shape and well worth the donation :)
ya I didnt spend much time today looking at it , but i briefly looked it over and it did look pretty stinkin good. I wouldnt say no to riding it around ;P
I bought some raffel tickets to day an signed up for the ride on the 17th.
