Up to Late I was in bed by 1:30. Only a chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday but that can change. Hopefully we will have nice weather.

[superfly3]

just got off work and dealer called me and said my spyder was done and I can come and pick it up,just waiting now on my friend to come and pick me up to go get it. finally done!!

[superfly3]

so far weather is saying 40 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms doesn't look good.

[superfly3]

We'll meet at the Whiteland exit of I-65, around 9 AM, pick up 31, and head south to Columbus. Dick or I will post more later today.

[Trickie Dick]

I'll meet you guys from the north about 8:00 at the same gas station we met when the banner was through here. If you prefer to come down 29/421 from Logansport we can change that. Just let me know. We'll ride on down to meet John at the Whiteland exit. Watching the weather.

[superfly3]

Now the weather is saying partly sunny and high of 78 for wed. I hope thats true thats good ing weather.

[8LEGS]

Sorry I haven't been on much, I've been trying to work as many hours as possible. The gas station we met Deb & Brian is fine, I know how to get there. Greg, it looks like we should leave the truck stop around 6:30 to be there by 8. We might be a little early, but better than late. I haven't been near a tv or radio so I have no idea about the weather; hopefully it will be nice.

I sent out messages to the other Indiana riders but haven't heard anything from them.

[8LEGS]

anyone heard from Amanda B?

[spyder1]

Sorry can't go...I will be sleeping when you're having fun. If you get to Madison, try either Hammonds family dinner or the Downtowner (or both!). They are on main street thru town.

[8LEGS]

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's ride. Had a wonderful .... NOT ... night at work. My little finger is fractured and bruised. It shouldn't be a problem riding.?. Once it stops raining here I'm going to take a ride.

[superfly3]

I am too looking forward to tomorrow's ride,its been awhile time to get back on the saddle. Sorry to hear about your finger tina I hope you feel better by tomorrow. I will bring my manual for the scala so we can link them.

[Trickie Dick]

No rain here today...yet! Looking forward to seeing you in the morning about 8. Tina, if you guys get in early, give me a call. I'm 5 minutes away.
Did you ever hear from Amanda B.?
Dick

[8LEGS]

No, I never did hear from Amanda B. My finger is sore, but the swelling has gone down and it is just bruised. I took a ride between rain showers and it was stiff but I think it will be fine.

I'll call you in the morning Dick when we arrive. Will need a break and a walk around by then.

I'm ready for tomorrow. Greg, ok on the manual to pair the Q2 units, hope it is easy to do. I have mine charging and will be ready by morning.

See you all tomorrow!

[superfly3]

just got home from work will try to get some sleep,see you all tomorrow,weather should be good.

[8LEGS]

Just checked my PM's, sorry to hear about Dick's Brother-in-law. Since he won't be going, Greg and I could meet John somewhere. Do you still want us to go to the flying J truck stop? If not, we could ryde to Bargersville (sp)?

The weather looks crappy for tomorrow, I'm still willing to ride in the rain if everyone else is, if not we can try to re-schedule.

I have my alarm set for 4:30 in the morning and will get on here and see what the plans are. . . . . .

[superfly3]

why don't we just re-schedule,I looked around here at every store and every delear no one had my size in rain gear I want a 4XL so it will go over my jacket,I ended up finding one on ebay and they should be shipping it to me.Up here the weather said partly sunny tomorrow but I don't know what it is down there,you say they are calling for rain.

[8LEGS]

Dick said it was supposed to rain all day???? I'll check out the weather page now.

[superfly3]

I still want to try to do something tomorrow since I am on vac.

Hi: 80°

Partly sunny. A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning. Highs around 80. North winds 5 to 10 mph.


Lo: 58°

Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 50s. North winds 5 to 10 mph shifting to the east after midnight.

It has rained here since 4pm. Right now there is lightning and thunder ... nothing severe, but we have had a lot of needed rain.

Lets play it by ear and see what John has to say about it. I don't mind the rain, but I don't want to ride in it all day.
