MISSOURI RENDEZVOUS

[BumbleBee]

Len's wife here-Vanessa-Cuba is all a buzz (couldn't think of a more Spyder appropriate word) and looking forward to being your host city. I'll post some more information on the town in coming days. Where else can you go, that within a 10 mile radius you'll be able to ride Historic Route 66, see the World's Largest Rocking Chair, visit a War Memorial, stay in the Official Route 66 Mural City, and meet some of best folks (Spyder Rider's of course) around!

welcome Be seeing you soon

Mrs. Pittbull Buggy - Your suggestions of local sites of interest are great! If we're blessed with good weather, I think I'll plan on spending part of Sunday visiting some of those places since they are all rather close. I'm only about four hours or so from home so I can spend part of Sunday being a tourist before heading back and still get home before dark. Maybe some of the others will want to do that, too, after our group breakfast.
If you can, please order great weather for us! Look forward to meeting you.

(P.S. to others - Per SpyderGene's suggestion, I specifically mentioned that I was going to be part of the Spyder group when I made reservations and they gave me a $76.99 rate for a king bed non-smoking room. I had checked to see if rates using AARP or AAA were less and none were. Holiday Inn has specfically committed (at first through Harley Davidson affiliations) to being bike friendly and offering reduced rates to bikers, so be sure to mention the connection!)

Yes this is the correct rate that they agreed to give us on the group rate. Cuba is really excited to have all of you as well as us we know alot of people are driving long distances and that means alot.....aka mean we have to keep stepping up our game here. I talked to frisco's this evening, and I think they are planning on closing to the public and opening only for you guys or i guess I should say us! and lots of other stuff going on, I spoke to fox 2 news today and they are considering covering the event now!

[Mrs. Pitbull Buggy]

That beats Pizza and watching the weather channel. It is so nice of you to stretch the weekend out.

You and your co-horts will be most honored at the Friday Ryde. May your bungie cords hold.

[dltang]

Hummm.... must have been doubt... blow away that 36 degrees... We haven't quite thawed out from our exceedingly cold winter and am looking for 70 degree stuff.

thanks to all for the opportunity and a place to meet old ad new friends. It will be nice to see the old country again, been a LONG LONG time, say 50 + years.

I will see what I can do but his wife is a teacher and she is probably working that Friday. Not sure if he will come without her. Also, after his knee replacement, it could be a bit long of a ride for him. But he is very tough, so maybe, just maybe we can talk him into it..
