Hello all,
Last months "Green Acres Ride" was a huge sucess with making new friends and group ,riding. Come join us once again with

“Whale Of A Ride”
April 21, 2013

This group ride will be outstanding and it looks like we will have great weather on our ride. Last year this ride was amazing. Whales, Dolphins and Sea Lions were right along the coast about 60% of the time. We stopped several times to see nature at its best. What an amazing sight. (Have your cameras ready.)

Our ride will start at Ports Of Call in San Pedro. 405 Freeway to 110 Freeway WEST and take it to the last off ramp before going over the Saint Thomas Bridge (Harbor Blvd). Exit Harbor Blvd and make a RIGHT onto South Harbor Blvd. Stay in your left lane and turn left into the Ports Of Call parking area. We will be all meeting in front of Alaska Seafood & Sushi Restaurant (79 Berth San Pedro).

Our ride will start promptly 9:00am. Our ride will continue NORTH on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) through Rancho Palos Verdes with our first stop at Point Vicente Interpretive Center 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West Rancho Palos Verdes 90275. Our ride will continue through Manhattan Beach, Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica and Malibu.
Our lunch stop will be the world famous Rock Store in the Malibu mountains. If you have not had the opportunity to see this historic sight it is truly an amazing sight. Riders from all over California usually stop by. There are anywhere from 150 to 300 motorcycles on the weekend with friendly service and great food. Also, heads up on the celebrity Spyder owners. Jay Leno and John Cusack are frequent riders and stop by. They are very friendly and love to talk about Spyders.

There will be two meet up locations for all those who would like to hook up part way and then ride over to the start of the ride.

Location ONE (South Location) 8:00am will be at the Seal West Chevron Gas Station, at 2950 Westminster Blvd in Seal Beach. This meet up spot is close to the 405 freeway. Take the Seal Beach Blvd exit off the 405 go south (towards the ocean) down Seal Beach Blvd to Westminster. This will allow all the riders in and around that area to meet and ride up together at our Check-In and start of the ride location.

Location TWO will be in the West Los Angeles at 7:30am. For riders coming in from the Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo and the valley areas. 405 Freeway South to Santa Monica Blvd EAST. Two blocks make a LEFT on Sepulveda Blvd and pull in the first driveway on right (Mobil Gas Station). (North East Corner). From there we will ride down to Ports Of Call in San Pedro where we will start the ride.

Also, our ride on May 11^th Bert’s Mega Mall Canyon Cruise 4 will be a great adventure. Every year Bert’s Mega Mall goes out of their way to make this a great ride and event for all Spyder Riders.

Hope to see you there!
