Just to let everyone know. This is a go, whether it rains or shines. If it rains, I will drive, and if it doesn't rain I will be riding. Either way, please attend, so we can get this group going. I just checked weather, and for the meeting area it is calling for scattered thunderstorms in the morning, becoming more widespread in the afternoon, 80% chance of rain. Things can change rather quickly with weather, so we will keep our fingers crossed.
I have some agenda and things to talk about, and some leads to possible group rides within the next month or so.
Order your shirts, like Tom said, we only have until the 26th to have all the orders in, before they will print them.
If you have anything agenda wise that you would like to add and discuss, please let me know and I will put it on my list for Saturday.
We are (Belinda & myself) excited to meet and make new friends. it will be fun!
Have a blessed day, and drive/ride safe on Saturday.

Would love to get together with more Spyders, but this weekend is already been set for our GWRRA membership. There is 4 rider's in Freeland area. Keep us informed on the next meeting and really like the design for clothing. Thanks for any info ,calme47
Let me know if you may be coming. There is an 80% chance of thunderstorms in the morning , becoming more widespread in the afternoon, so you are more than welcome to come, if you get rained out.

I was reluctant to throw my name out there because I wasn't sure if I had to work or not. Still don't know, but if I don't and I get the oil changed in the Spyder I will do my best to make it. Even if I don't get the oil changed I still may come, will just be in the car.
Have not put many miles on the Spyder in the last two years and need an oil change real bad.
May see you all on Saturday.

Great, hope you have a big turn out as my friends plan to attend. I know a lot of people are interested the launching something like this but we need to look at in sections or regions so rides don't have to travel large distances to attend each gathering. I guess start an event calendar would be neat for Michigan would be good. You all have fun and keep in touch!
Hi Steve,
We have had to replan our UP Vaca to later date so we are available to come to the Meet & Greet. Put me down for 2. We will however be in our car as the Weather forecast is saying rain and its 150 miles one way for us. Can't wait to meet ya'll and put faces with names. Thanks for putting this together.

We are still planning to attend. We will watch the weather to determine which transportation to take. Put about 1000 miles on this week on vacation already. Don't want to fight rain anymore lol.
Ialready made reservations for 30 Saturday. Need to confirm number by Friday. Was 60% rain forecast today, now sunny, keeps dying out , will see what Saturday turns out to be.
Still coming, but will just be me, looking forward to a nice leisurely 3 hour back road drive. See ya by 1130

Sorry Steve but we won't be able to be there today. Please keep us updated of what went on & what is planned. Very disappointed that we couldn't make it.
I'm stuck at work. Would have loved to made it up. Even a ride in the rain is better than a Saturday at work. But I guess I have to make that Spyder payment. LOL...
It was great meeting you all today. We look forward to future events. We pray that everyone's travels were safe considering the storm. Thanks to Steve and Belinda for organizing.

Here's a picture of riding home in the rain my wife and I were in a vehicle and my friend Rod was riding his Sypder in the rain. Rain all the way back to Fenton luckily no major downpour.
The meet and greet was a huge success it was great meeting new riders and new friendships will definitely been made.
Thanks to everyone that attended, and sorry not all could make it this time. For those that was able to make it, thanks again. I think that we made a gigantic step forward into getting this started. I know that alot of us drove 2 hours or more, but I definetily think it was worth it. We all seemed to have fun today and enjoyed each others company, and had a few laughs. Thank you for everyone contributing their input on how we want to move forward.
The food was good, and the fellowship with each other was great. I guess we are planning our next monthly meeting on 9/24/16 at Birch Run. (NO shopping ladies, just eating, riding, and enjoying each others company.
Rich & Nancy are going to scope out a place to eat and let us know.
I will add all the names, emails, phone numbers, etc, and email each of you a copy.
I will also check out the Shutterfly thing that Greta was talking about to possibly post pictures of our rides & get togethers, along with the pin map, on there that she spoke about.
We don't have to do just scheduled rides. Someone wants to do a weekend ride or whatever, just mention it here on the Michigan board, and whoever is available can get together, whenever. I am a very spontaneous person, I may do something at the drop of a hat.
All in all, like I said, I think that it was a great day, and a great start. I enjoyed meeting new friends, and starting new friendships, and hopefully those that couldn't attend this time, will be able to in September.
Attatched you will see our 1rst Meet & Greet. There were a few missing, that we will get in the next pic. See everyone next month, if not before.
Blessings & Safe Riding
