"Ghost Town" Ride to Franklin, WA (7/9/11)

[IWN2RYD]

We enjoyed it greatly. Love the variety of rydes and folks that came along.

Just sorry we had to cut out the eating part to tend to our pups...

You do a pretty darn good job of organizing and keeping everything flowing during these rydes. Your daughter was a lot of fun and was a joy to try and keep up with on the trails :thumbup:

Looking forward to our next get together...hyea::spyder2:

For the Ghost Town Ride, we had 25 participants and 11 Spyders show up, making this the largest Spyder event to date. Every time they keep getting BIGGER and BETTER!

Weather conditions were perfect, and we worked up a healthy appetite hiking in the hills along the Green River Gorge. Afterwards, we took nice scenic ride to Wally's Drive-In for burgers and fries.

A special thanks goes to CLEMS ENUMCLAW POWERSPORTS for hosting the event - providing free coffee and doughnuts when we started AND coordinating a special "Spyder Rider" Discount at Wally's.


Here's some pictures that I took for this event...If you have additional photos, please post...

Thank You!!!!

Thanks to all the ryders (and riders) and passengers that showed up for this event. Joe you did an excellent job putting this together they just keep getting better and bigger. We love that you guys (and gals) let us be a part of these events, we sure enjoy helping with them. You all made us local celebs, I was working the King County fair last Saturday and quite a few people mentioned seeing everyone parked outside the shop, riding out to Franklin and even at Wally's. We can't wait to get another ryde going. I think some of the guys here are going to "scout out" a good loop ryde, kinda like the one we did last year. We are shooting for 175-200 miles start and end at the shop, with coffee and doughnuts in the morning and BBQ up some burgers and dogs for lunch. If there are any routes or places you might like to include let us know.

Ray -

That sounds awesome, but I already have concert tickets for that day. Saw your rig around back of Clems...are you back up and running again?

Corey...Also sounds like a great idea...Did you have a weekend in mind? Mebbe 2nd or 3rd weekend in August? A ride around the mountain would be great!
