You are right, my bad. Forgot the time change at the border.
-
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.

Can't wait
Organized the bike this evening. Laundry is done so the packing will be easy. My passenger lives up in Kennesaw - thinking of taking a route through Jackson, Tn vs the group ride. Nothing personal just not sure about going south to go north. Yol Bolson, is there a negitive you know of to the route I am considering, that lead you to choose the route you plan? We are thinking of splitting the time at 6.5 hours per day.

Joan, Not sure. The route I selected was primarily to avoid Chattanooga, N'ville, St.L. I did have an alternative that is close to what I think you are looking. Just as you are looking at difference, it made no difference for us. Going thru ATL E-W or E-N sucks anyway I look at it. Opted to go via B'ham based on another GSR member's earlier suggested route and also committed to picking up Bumblebee67 on the way thru AL.
Might I suggest, meeting up in Sikeston Tuesday evening? I opted for long day Tuesday to allow more time at SpyderFest.
You might tag up with Hawk, (see above) he may be interested in alternate route.

The route via Nashville/St Louis will get you there entirely on Interstate highways and other than the cities its pretty easy traveling (we went that route from Chattanooga last year). The route via Birmingham/Sikeston will involve a lot of non interstate roads and is probably more scenic but a lot slower traveling overall.
Good Luck, See ya in Cuba!

Kieth, If you want to change your route then by all means feel free to do so. Don't think you have to go the B'ham route just for me. I'm a pretty big gal and can find the way up there by myself. I'm sure I won't be the only solo rider there. Just please let me know before tuesday morn.

Wayne and I are leaving Columbus around 8am on the 23rd, both with trailers. Plan to travel 280 to Memphis 55 to 63 to 19. Both of us are retired, happy eaters that enjoy the ride, so times are fluid. Anyone along the route is welcome to join us. We are staying at the Days Inn in St James. We will be 2 aging, weight challenged men with Ga. tags and very bright tight safety green Ga Spyder Rider shirts. Good job on the shirts.

Decide that since my passenger lives NW of Atl we are going to do the following route and meet you in Cuba.
Gasden, Al
Florence, Al
then avoiding Memphis by heading north to Jackson, Tn
to Dyersburg, tn
motel here
Second day thru Popular Bluff to Cuba
Ride Safe!

Joan, I59 outta Gadsden runs right into I20 in B'ham. Just a short drive, you could meet up with us in B'ham if you still wanted to ride with the group...........

Also, both routes cross Jackson, TN as well. The problem is timing. I am still not sure what we are going to do. I think my son is going to be able to take the dog to boarding, so we would be able to leave early. Is anyone eating breakfast at the Cracker Barrel early, maybe we just head out early and get some grub.

Actually, Doc - Riverside is not going to make it so SWMBO and I are splurging and headed over to Bremen this evening after supper. Spending the night there, laze around tomorrow morning waiting for folks to show up. Just a thought....

K, we we are going to leave as early as we can so we can get over there and have some breakfast. We are planning on leaving around 6:30 or 7. Even with ATL traffic, we should be there in time to get something to eat. If not, we will at least be there by 10.

A contingent of the GSR spent the night in Siketon after getting food thrown at them at Lamberts Cafe.
Hitting the road in a few hours for run to Cowtown.

Those of us here are on sensory overload. TIRED from the long ride and overwhelmed by the gadgets and gizmos on everyone's Spyders. It has already cost a few of us a PRETTY penny.
