• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Yes as someone coined the term Spirited Ride, all the rides this year will be spirited due to the roads in the Ozarks, however this may be more spirited than the others. Maybe I was assigned this ride because I'm the only ride leader on an RS:roflblack:. We have no fancy places planned to eat/drink, however you will have a choice of either eating lunch at a couple of small cafes in town or pack a picnic lunch and eat in the park at Alley Springs. Alley Springs is just one of Missouri's large springs feeding crystal clear streams. The focus of this ride is the ride itself, it will be just over 200 miles of some of the best riding roads in the Ozarks again mostly thru the Mark Twain Forest region.
Last October while the rest of the MoGang was partying in Branson I took this ride with my Valkyrie family and knew right then it was made for Spyders, although we had a great time on two wheels I really look forward to the ride with a bunch of Spyders.
We are not going to take any chances (tickets or otherwise) however you can expect a pace similar to last years Circle the Fort ride which I think everyone enjoyed.
If this sounds like the kind of ride that would be up your ALLEY then join us at 0900 Thursday 26 Apr departing from Cowtown.

They are all off working out somewhere building up arm strength for your ride. Is it true that the roads on your route are SO twisty that all the road signs say, "Continued on back" ???
