[SpyderAnn01]

what time are we going to meet at Joe's?

I'm trying for 2:00 in case they arrive early. They were estimating between 2 and 3:00

[Dragon Snake]

Thanks. See all of you tomorrow.

We were shooting for 2:30-ish, but who knows for certain. Still trying to decide whether or not to ride up to GR afterwards for the Metro Cruise.

We were there tonight. I saw three other Spyders on 28th St.! Lots and lots of really cool cars. We will go back tomorrow for sure.

Great turnout at Joe's Gizzard City by both the Michigan and the Ohio contingents. Michigan had one more Spyder, but I did not count heads. Ohio may have won that one. It was a great day for a ride, and the company was splendid, too. Thanks to all for setting this up and participating. I'm sure there will be some pics posted soon.

Edit: Added pics -
1. Look who we caught without a camera in her face.
2. The Ohio group (+ 2 of ours to make them look good)
3. The Michigan side (- 2 of our "shadier" riders)
4. Spyders taking up the whole block

What a fun time we had today! Great turnout from both sides of the border but I do think there were more Michiganders. Next time we will invade Ohio.

It was great to see so many Spyders in one place! And it was fun meeting new friends - both from Ohio and from Michigan. It was a great gathering blessed with great weather! My thanks, too, to all who helped organize and to all who showed up.

[SpyderAnn01]

And a special thanks to the Ohio riders for their gift of an Ohio State football which they all signed.

I had intentions of meeting you there today but got a call while I was on the road and all my plans changed. I did get to go for a ride though.

That was quite the long day you had. Glad to hear you made it home.

[SPYD1]

It was a great day and I forgot to mention one thing that made it better. For the 150 mile round trip we averaged 37 mpg! One tank is not really a valid long distance test, but mileage is always best when we're on back roads doing 35-55 mph and gearing down in the curves. Another reason to avoid the slab.

I did 32.7 going there and back, which is a new record. Taking the state highways and watching my speed (like a good group leader) worked wonders! BTW, I did far worse riding over to the TCD vintage show today. Thanks for the tip...I had fun.

[kinggeek]

We had a great time., it was fun meeting so many Spyderlovers. We we also made it home alive. 625 miles and 16.5 hours later. That is the longest round trip for a meal so far....

[Spydigirl]

Wow! sorry I missed it maybe next time!

You need to watch the Michigan forum for group rides. Next up is the Tunnel of Trees the end of September.
