I believe we will be there. It's about a 3.5 hour ride for us. Wife said if we get a place to stay over night she would think about going. Can any of you tell us about some good places to stay??? Don't want to wake up the next morning and find our Spyder missing!!!!!

Would also need some good directions......

 

[2Gunns]

okay, I'm gonna make a decision and hope for the best. How about we meet at 11AM at Applebee's on Battleground Blvd on July 30? We can have lunch, hang out and whoever wants to ride for a bit can ride. The address is

3200 Battleground Avenue
Greensboro, NC 27408-2604
(336) 282-7100

Google maps shows the new loop from I40. Some GPS don't have it yet. If
anyone needs specific directions, send me a message.

OUTSTANDING !
Hope we have a good turnout.... Thank Catniption for pulling this together.

There are several decent hotels near the airport that would be safe. There are two luxury hotels if you want to be spoiled for a night, but you'll pay $$$$$ for it. Do NOT get anything close to the coliseum or Four Seasons mall. Stay on the west side of Greensboro. There is a nice little place on the same road as Applebee's that has good reviews. It's called Battleground Inn.

Let me know what road you will be comming in on and I will give you directions.

I 40 to I 73N then according to MapQuest then:

Merge onto I-73 N/FUTURE I-840 via EXIT 212B toward BRYAN BLVD/PTI AIRPORT.

Take EXIT 3 toward BRYAN BLVD/PTI AIRPORT. Take the BRYAN BLVD EAST exit toward DOWNTOWN.

Merge onto JOSEPH M BRYAN BLVD.

Take the WESTRIDGE RD exit. Turn RIGHT onto WESTRIDGE RD.

Turn RIGHT onto BATTLEGROUND AVE/US-220. 3200 BATTLEGROUND AVE is on the LEFT.

If you know of a better way than that please let me know...

I really do appreciate you help...

That's the best way. Some people get a little confused with the I40 -I73 thing. Just remember to stay in the righthand lane when you get close to exit 210 on I40, then take exit 212B which will be an "exit only" for the lane you are in. From there, round the clover leaf (which is really fun on a Spyder) and move over to one of the left two lanes. The road is not finished so you have to take the Bryan Blvd exit. Take the first exit that says "downtown", then take the Westridge exit. Turn right onto Battleground (McDonald's will be on the left of this intersection). Applebees is only a couple hundred feet on the left so don't miss it!

 

[SpyderWolf]

I will have to see how things go, and what the calendar looks like as we get closer to the 30th. According to Google Maps, it is about a 4.5 hour ryde one way for me.

Thanks! Since moving to North Carolina we haven't had time to see much of the state, so this trip should be a lot of fun. I believe I saw you at Maggie Valley. Looks like your Spyder:

Newer Spyder owner, but I think it would be fun, I will put it on my calendar and see if I can make it out there.

Of course you can make it, you're practically my neighbor being in WS! Hope to see you then, otherwise just "holla" if you want another spyder to ride with.

Leslee & Ron Turner will be there. We live about an hour east of Greensboro just south of I-40. If anyone is coming from a good distance and would like to stay with us, we have two twin beds in a bedroom suite with private bathroom. We also have a spare bedroom with a bathroom. You would be welcome to visit and stay overnight.:welcome:
