• 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.

Has anyone heard if there will be a Heart of Washington 2016.
I would like to help organize if there is one.
June is an ideal month in Eastern Washington to hold an event.

My idea is a 3 day event.

Friday - Ride in to Paterous Lakeshore Inn
Dinner locally at 6:30

Saturday - take the loop around to Coulee Dam (see map)
Lunch stop
Dinner either locally or ride to Chelan

Sunday - everyone goes home

Questions

dates
where to eat if more than 20 people
I like the idea of keeping it simple
Fund raiser? For?
Ryde captains? How many in a ryde group?
Any organized Sat nite activity ?
vendor(s)?
how would you "market"
 
My thought is more of a meet and greet versus a "rally". The only expense would be your own fuel, hotel, and food. Depending on how many people make reservations would determine whether or not we need to split up the group for the Saturday ride.

Make this low key and least expensive. For Saturday's evening's entertainment we would just gather on the lake front and have some great conversations. There is a good restuarant next door to the hotel. If we get a good count of people ahead time I can set up a reservation. There is "buy your favorite beverage" store in town.

For dates, I was thinking middle to last part of June.

Sounds like something to consider ;-) I can't think of any large scheduled event that would get in the way at this time. Might put the word out on Facebook and get an idea of the reception once you have a better idea of dates. ;-)
 
I'm thinking the dates of Friday, June 24th through Sunday, June 26th.

If enough people are interested, I can try and get a hotel discount.

Those dates work for me...

Go ahead and get the hotel discount...from experience don't sign a contract guaranteeing "x" # of rooms. I will post on FB as well as Spyder Xperience and see what response we get...yep keep it super simple....Hey I can get a couple mexican train dominoes games together...just thinking "out loud"
 
Dates posted....Spyderlovers respond please...

Posted inquiry on Fb...Girls on Spyders as well as Spyder Xperience...see what kind of interest is generated.....but even without any #'s I would start "dealing" on motel....let's make this happen. June is an ideal time for ryding in No Central WA...and Pateros is tiny town right on the river and has a fantastic coffee shop ...
Wahoo let's do this...hey get enough people and maybe find a vendor or two....oh yea another Spyder gathering..is VERRRRRYYYY GOOD:yes::yes:
 
Dates

Is the date firm? We would love to come up, but have an event in Michigan. We are available the end of May; is it riding weather then? Joe

I wanted to get hold of you guys after our meeting the 17th to see if it might be possible to get squared away to make a trip up to spokane again the end of may or first part of June. I was going to put it out at the Feb 17th meeting for interest.
 
End of May/memorial out for me

Is the date firm? We would love to come up, but have an event in Michigan. We are available the end of May; is it riding weather then? Joe

Also I think Pateros town has a weekend event the weekend of June 17. It would be awesome if could fine a weekend for Squared Away to get us Squared Away. Stay tuned
 
Heart of Washington

Would love to join in this get together, but the weekend of June 24-26 is not good for me. Have commitment for Sunday the 26th.

Generally speaking for westsiders, will normally not head over to the east side until after Memorial Day. Simply, still chances of having black ice on the passes.

We can either do June 10, 11, and 12 or June 24th, 25th, and 26th.

Any time later will start conflicting with other established rallys.

Would love to come over and ride with you guys. Will just keep track to the dates and see if we can make it. We live in NW Montana. So not so far.
