• 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.

Hot Springs Spyder Rally June 10-12, 2021

Spyder rally

We have our reservation at the host hotel for Wed to Fri night. Leaving on Saturday.
Looking forward to making new friends. See you there.
 
Hot Springs rally will be HUGE! 360 reservations and 283 SPYDERS will be showing up!

Latest stats as of yesterday (Sun.) per the organizing committee: 360 paid registrations and 283 Spyders will be showing up. This rally is going to be EPIC! Probably an unprecedented turnout for a first-time rally! See ya'all there (here -- as we're already in Hot Springs, at J&J's RV park.)
 
It looks like we will be heading out around 11:00 AM to Hot Springs on Wednesday the 9th. Decided on going via Hwy 65 S to Clinton and then via 9. A tad longer than 7 but that one is hard to drive much faster than 50 mph because of the twisties. The 65 route is supposed to save 37 minutes over the 7 route. ???? Time will tell...and we get to explore the lower reaches of 65 and 9.
 
Looks like it is going to be a busy place. We arrived shortly after 3:00 PM (check-in) time. Not to many Spyders at that time. Now (5:42) a whole bunch of Spyders up and down the court. Just ordered take out and when finished going to prowl the grounds to check out the ice cream social and the vendors.

I will be the guy in the black gambler hat driving in the wheelchair. Yes, was able to rent one local. They delivered to the motel.
 
We’re headed out tomorrow morning as soon as chores are done, should be there late afternoon. First out-of-State trip on the Spyder...excited!
 
My wife is saying some river/creek is supposed to crest tonight and that there will be flooding in Hot Springs. I don’t see anything about this on my weather apps. What’s the local weather report saying?
 
Have not heard about any flooding. This AM, the radar showed NO storms in the area. Everything was E of Little Rock. The forecast is hot for the next two days.
 
My wife was told by a friend (yes its all third hand) that the Ouachita River is supposed to crest tonight and cause flooding. I will not be deterred, still heading that way in the morning.
 
I had a great time ryding! I led 3 rydes and looking back it was some of the best ryding at any rally I have attended. No rain at all but it was rather warm. As long as you were moving, It was not an issue.

Thanks for coming up. Central Arkansas has some of the best riding in the country. We hope you'll come back.

I plan to. Coming up from Greenville Tx It is not to far off. Im sure the following years will be better. I did not stay at the host hotel and had trouble with the web site. I did create 4 of my own routes though and they were awesome. 3 of them were based on routes from the Arkansas Motorcycle guide with a little modifications in basecamp.
