    Default A New Event For 2020 ??

    We are going to be re-locating to NW Arkansas in 2019.

    For Summer/2020:

    How many of you would be interested in joining us for a combination, BBQ, camp over, and local scenic rides event?

    We hosted such an event in 2015 (the NtA riders) in Alaska and that was a great success.

    Details to be worked out--but I would try to schedule this around other events. Lots of people on here that we have not yet met in person and would like to.

    And, I am open to suggestions and would welcome "volunteer" help with the process.

    Early, yes. But time flies by very fast.

    As a participant in the NTA feast that Dewane and Linda put on for us. You would not be disappointed.

    At this point you can put Kathy and I down, and I would be happy to help.

    Count Sharon and Dave Goebel in! We've heard from Les and Kathy about how great the NtA was, we did last fall's Spyder's in the Ozarks (SitO) and really enjoyed it. NW Arkansas is such a beautiful area to ride in. From the Ozark National Forest down to the Ouachita National Forest roads as well.

    So far, none in the potential garages. But, there will be plenty of space.

    There is no Pitbull Spyderfest for 2020 as a rally. I believe Spyderpops is planning a rally next year in Arkansas.

    Good information. We will also keep that one in mind. Since we are the "newcomers" to AR, we have decided to let others do their thing. And...the choices are real good.

    ATTN: StA: 's To Arkansas 2020 participants

    The event is ON. Squared Away is planning on attending.

    Thanks for all the posts, the positive comments, and the intentions to come and visit with us.

    As 2020 approaches, the details will come together and the nitty gritty planning will begin. More information will appear as we get closer to the time.

    I will bump this thread at least once a month.
