Hey Grizz...If you are reserving the last weekend in September for the Oyster Run, it's the weekend of the 23rd this year. I know it caught me a little by surprise, but the technicality is the Oyster Run is held on the 4th Sunday of the month.

I'm coordinating a group ryde to Anacortes...Lemme know if you would like to join...

That last weekend in Sept. the Muzzleloader deer season opens, so I'm headed over the mountains for a week of chasing critters. The trip around the peninsula sounds like fun if the timing is right so I can make it. Thanks again for the invite, but probably won't make it on the Oyster Run.

Depending on what date you make it, I might be able to join up with the group in Sequim and ride along for a while.

I am in Poulsbo. Would love to take the trip. I am planning on going to the Oyster run on 9/23 and then Clearwater Casino (in Suquamish) is holding a poker run on 9/9 (actually 9/7-9) trying to beat a world record for bikes on the 9th

Any other date/time I would love to join. I am a new Spyder owner (RS-S).... So new to this

[spyderman051]

Since so many other events in Sept. making it hard to gather folks. Would moving it to OCT 6-7 Work any better?

Hi,

I would be interested in doing this loop. I'm coming from BC, so would head down to wherever you're starting out on the Friday of the chosen weekend. I plan to do the Oyster Run on the 23rd, but would be available any other weekend.

I'm not sure about pushing it into October - dare I mention the dreaded R word that we all know is coming? I'm pretty much a fair-weather rider (when given a choice, anyway!LOL)

You could try posting this in the BC board to see if there are any more takers up here.


Cheers!

Oops I mean the "Canada" board. Good thing u guys don't just have a U.S.A. board!

[SequiMike]

Are we still thinking about a Peninsula ride on the 6th or 7th? I haven't seen anything new posted here for a while.

[lil rabbit]

I will be up for that.....I can meet you guys any where you like. Just let me know where.

[SequiMike]

I guess someone is going to have to take the lead on this one. spyderman051 started the ball rolling, so he is the natural choice. When and where do we start, and when and where do we end? Are we going clockwise, or counter-clockwise around the Peninsula? Where to stop at night? Lots of questions.......

We'd need to keep a close eye on the weather - there's a good reason everything is so green on the Peninsula.

What say you, spyderman051 - can you put together some details for us to work with?

[truck 85]

waching to see what happens

[jackgsd]

I am interested (weather permitting). Ill follow thread to see what the details are.

The weather always permets when you are on a spyder.

[SequiMike]

I really don't want the lead on this, but we need to do some planning if we intend to ride next weekend. Here is a google map that shows the route - it's a little over 300 miles total, and a bit more than 6 hours riding - - http://tinyurl.com/9u8uevb

I'm in Sequim, so that's where I'd join up. Jack, I know you're in Poulsbo, so you could join in at hwy 101 and hwy 104, and peel off at Shelton and take hwy 3 home (assuming we went around counter-clockwise) or do the full circle and return via hwy 104 and hwy 3.

Where would everyone else join the loop? Do we want to make this a one day ride, or stop somewhere for the night?

Any other ideas? Right now the weather is forecast to be good that weekend, so this could be the last warm ride of the year.

[spyderman051]

Looks like the route I had in mind except I would be starting in Auburn on sat morn leaving a 8:30 am stopping in lacey at 9:30 am then on to shelton 10:45am then to squim by nooish and stopping in Port Angles for the nite staying at the motel 8 there then moving on the rest of the route on sun. Anyone wishing to join up with me along the way welcome too

[lil rabbit]

Mike I might not be able to make the ride on Saturday due to some other items came up. But I could meet you guys on Sunday if you guys are still making the loop.

I could meet you (and anyone else) in Sequim for lunch, and then ride to Port Angeles. I'd backtrack to Sequim that afternoon, and then head back to PA in the morning and ride with everyone probably as far as Lake Crescent or so before turning around. All the way around the Peninsula might be a little ambitious for me at this point.

Based on how things are looking right now, folks will probably be pulling out of Port Angeles by the time you left Silverdale on Sunday (unless you left REALLY early). You might consider heading straight for Aberdeen, and then up towards Forks, until you meet them coming from the other way, and then you could turn around and ride with them back to the Olympia/Shelton area. Just a thought.

[spyderman051]

Mike sounds like a winner for me, So I will meet you for lunch in Sequim then ride to PA for the night..Where is a good place to meet and eat there?Since I will be the only meeting you there maybe I could just spend the night in sequim and wait till lilrabbit shows then go the rest of the way from there? What say you?

[lil rabbit]

Well it sounds like you guys are meeting in Sequim or PA for breakfast or something. So give me a time and place where you all are going to meet and I will try to make it there. Or if all goes well Saturday morning maybe I could ride up to Sequim and stay the night and meet up with you and ride to PA. So I will watch whats going on here for time and place.

Lunch in Sequim sounds good. I'm not a fancy eater, so lunch at the 101 Diner works for me. If you prefer some place nicer, there's always Applebys and a few other places. Also, there are several motels in town, and most have vacancies this time of year. Just bear in mind that Sequim can be pretty dead this time of year, so be sure to bring a good book to read.

Whether you stay in Sequim or PA, we can join up again when you're ready to continue, or when lilrabbit shows up, and I'll probably ride as far as Forks before turning back to Sequim. Might even have an infiltrator friend (Goldwing) join us.
