Please add me (Teacherbob) and Spyder Bill to the list. Made hotel reservatons this morning. Can't wait to finally meet some of the good people I feel like I already know from this forum. This is shaping up to be a great Spyder Ryders gathering. See you all on the 17th. I'll see if I can talk the boss into kicking in some gift certificates to go along with the other door prizes.
Any other local Spyder folks interested in going along let me know and we can get together for a group ride.

Alright more names on the list.. Who can pass this up..

Welcome
TEACHERBOB and SPYDER BILL
Your 57 and 58 on the official list.

I have to share with all----This past week we all had a chance to get out and ride a little in MO.
We also had a chance to visit with other bikers-----and well----I had to listen to BikeFest in Florida----Good times in Sturgis.
When a lull in the conversation happen I mention that
some of my spyder friends have planned a trip to Cuba next month.
followed with
I could bring back some Cigars if you want.

I checked--- they do have a smoke shop in Cuba.

Colton's a real cutie...not to mention quite a rider for his age. That was pretty bumpy ground there! Looking forward to meeting your whole family - thanks so very much for volunteering to host this ever growing shindig.

Ryde it PBJ!!

[teacherbob]

Just a thought. Maybe not enought time. Any chance of someone doing a t-shirt to commemorate this event ?

[mxz600]

Just did a Mapquest search to see how long of a ride this was and two Cuba MOs popped up. I think that is kind of strange two towns in the same state with the same name. So what's up with that? Is the other Cuba just a four way stop or is it an actual town?

[pitbull]

Thanks all, He's my life! He does think he's sixteen and not barely four......partly myfault there, let him drive the spyder around for a bit, and then he was ready to remove his tranning wheels and take off, I did try to talk him out of it, but he would have it no other way!..........guess driving a spyder really does make you start to become a super hero. Just ask Colton lol. Again thanks you!

Yes that is a funny deal, I have seen that two and have been all over mo and have never driven through or seen signs for the other Cuba mo. Were the Crawford county Cuba, but good catch there

Yes sir we are having caps, t-shirts and other stuff made up.........and from what I've seen so far, there doing a great job at not making it 1980's stuff lol. But yes sir were on it!

From our house in Grand Blanc, I expect we would get there in about 11 hours including gas stops. I have driven there many times and even with stops to hay and water horses and wait for a caravan of trucks to fill up and letting kids and adults eat and use the restroom, we were always there in less than 12 hours. I think Brian and I are going to leave on Thursday night after I get out of work and drive for a few hours just to get a jump on things. We will either camp or stay in a very cheap no name hotel on Thursday night. That way we have less riding time on Friday and will be more refreshed for the Friday night's activities. If you think you want to join us for the ride down, lwt me know.

[RTGENE]

We now have 60 on our official log book.

I just received this---its good information about Missouri---
just in case someone from out of state asks.

Most of us already have this in our memory banks ready to repeat.

Thanks Deb for the invite. I will never be able to talk my wife into going. She thinks it will kill her back going that far on the Spyder and she might be right. She has never been on a long ride and she doesn't think she would make it. That is why I was checking the distance on mapquest. She said I could go without her, but I would rather not.

[The_Spyderwoman]

Hey Gene!

Any idea on a spyder count?

60 people!! This almost doubles our MidAmerica Spyder Picnic!

Can't wait!!

[xpeschon]

mxz600 I understand the below statement:

She said I could go without her, but I would rather not.

You will be in good hands if you do decide to go.. Its gonna be a lot of fun and although she will not be able to make the trip we can keep her in the loop with Pictures and Videos.. But again, I do understand brother and if you decide not to go we will be thinking of ya ...

I was trying to count them up last night and I figure around 43 plus however many the Cowtown crew bring out.

[GaryTheBadger]

I only found one Cuba, MO on Google Maps. Is the correct one half-way between Springfield and St Louis, on Hwy 44?

[Mo Lee]

Two Cubas surprised me to, sure enough mapquest lists it east of KC real close to the Missouri river not sure if it is a town or a place. Maybe one of the Spyderlovers in that area can check it out and let us know.

That's the one you need Gary. I only have ever found one on Google as well.
