• 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.

Last minute bad weather is the only reason I would expect a change.
 
The first leg looks like a good route. I'm guessing you have been to a SpyderFest before. This will be my first. I'll be heading up on Monday, trailering my Spyder. Will be camping at the Lady Bug campground arriving on Tuesday sometime.
See y'all there!
 
Ready to Go...

Back on the Spyder web....
Registered, hotels organized
Ready to ride with my GA Spyders.

Working on getting the logo from Sarah... she said 24 to 36 hours and it will be done.

GO GA GO! Will look forward to seeing you all there on Wednesday!!!

Almost the only thing on our minds these days. Tying up loose ends, doing chores and getting packed.
