2016 SE Ohio Spyder Ride
Saturday June 18th 2016, 9:15 AM
We have had a lot of requests to put this ride on as a Spyder specific event, so we are going to do it in 2016.
We have hosted the SE Ohio Motorcycle Ride for the past 13 years which is always the 2nd Saturday in August (this ride is in addition to that). The route will be the same.

Here is all of the information. Hope to see everyone in June.

Where: Best Western. 4929 East PikeZanesville, OH 43071 (740) 453-6300 I-70 exit 160. Map to Best Western.
Escorted SE Ohio Spyder Ride on Saturday Starting at 9:15 AM from the Best Western parking lot, We will be ending up back at the Best Western also.

Be gassed up and ready to go by 9:00, short meeting at 9:05 and leaving promptly at 9:15 AM.
We are expecting to be back at the Best Western around 5:30 PM Saturday evening.

Friday Night: We will have a meet and greet starting at 7:30 PM Friday night at the Motel. We will have snacks for everyone. There will be door prizes to be given away.

In addition to the Main Escorted Ride on Saturday. Self Guided Rides. We will have ride maps available. Click here to see all of the additional suggested rides. There are lots of great roads and routes to take. Come a few days early and ride. We will be at the motel starting Thursday.

Saturday Ride Description: Leisurely ride from Zanesville going East, through scenic winding back roads at times following a few rivers and lakes. Route will go around Seneca Lake & Dam, Wayne National Forest and along the Ohio River. Ending up in New Martinsville, WV for lunch at Quinet's Court Restaurant.
The Court Restaurant has a home made lunch buffet (with home made deserts) for appx. $10.95. We will have a large private area set aside for our group.
From there we will ride South along the Ohio River, then West into the National Forest on 260. Everyone is encouraged to only ride at their own pace through the curves. Then route 26 through the forest to the North side of Marietta, we will stop at a covered bridge on route 26 to give everyone a little break. Route from the Covered bridge South on Route 26 will be at your own pace, anyone wishing to ride at a faster pace will leave first. There will be lots of great curves and scenery to enjoy in this section ending up just north of Marietta. After taking a bypass on the north side of Marietta we will then take route 60 a short distance to the gas stop then up along the Muskingum River all the way back to Zanesville. Planned stops in this portion, Muskingum River locks #8.
There is very little traffic on these roads on Saturday, making this a very enjoyable ride.

This will be a 217 mile (total) ride. We will make appropriate gas and rest stops. There will be plenty of time for socializing. This is a good opportunity to take a nice ride, meet some new people, and possibly get away for a couple of days. Everyone is welcome, for this ride you just need to have a Spyder or be with someone riding a Spyder. Best of all, this ride is free and does not cost anything except food and gas.
If you only want to do the portion of the ride in the morning to the restaurant or the second half of the ride from the restaurant back, that is fine. We will be at the Court Restaurant at approximately 12:30 PM.
In addition, see the SE Ohio Motorcycle Ride Guidelines Page.

What to expect: A nice ride through some very scenic and even somewhat challenging roads.
A great time and a chance to meet old friends and make a few new ones. Single riders are welcome (Male and Female), you will find this to be a very social ride and group. Do not worry about coming alone and not knowing anyone, that will change pretty quickly.
We will block intersections. We also have people flagging at intersections that we can not block.

Bikes are welcome if you are riding with someone that comes with a Spyder.

There are also several clubs and many individuals that will be participating.

We do go across the bridge into West Virginia for lunch, so helmets are required for this portion of the ride.

Contact: Teresa or Rick from Value-Accessories with any questions.

Debbie and I have our reservations at the Best Western and will be arriving Thursday afternoon from Ontario. Coming early to maybe get in an extra ride on Friday and we don't want to miss the Friday night party in the parking lot. It will be our first ride with the S.E. Ohio group. It sounds like it will be good riding a lot of fun. Marking the days off on the calendar until we head out.

I will be there with the trailer Thursday afternoon. I will have ride maps with directions and mileage all beginning and ending at the motel.
See me either Thursday or early Friday morning and we can get you going on any type of ride you want and length from 70 to 220 miles.
I will probably be leaving by 9 AM Friday morning to pre ride Saturdays route.

We expect around 100 people.

Actually Teresa and I from Value-Accessories put the event on. We had help from our friends from the PA Spyder Riders, Ohio Spyder Riders and many friends from all over to make this event go very smoothly.
We want to thank everyone that helped block intersections and going ahead in several locations to flag and direct everyone.

I just purchased my Spyder in Mid-July and look forward to this event next year.

Are there any tentative dates yet? I am debating on going to Valcourt for the 10 year anniversary but I am not sure I will be able to make that trip because of the distance. OHio is in my driving tolerance for now.
