Saturday, June 4th

[8 Legged Freak]

I talked with John from Seal Floorboards and we would like to see if anybody is up for a ride to the coast say out 26 to Seaside and up to Astoria for lunch then back 30 to Portland. Unless somebody has a better plan.

Saturday is supposed to be beautiful. It will be the first real group ride of the year. How about it guys and gals!

Sounds like fun!!! We can't do it this time, but we're discussing the possibility in Sept as a part of our vacation. :2thumbs:

 

[Dragonrider]

Taking the back road through Mist is a FAR better return from Astoria on a bike. It totally avoids 30, has elk, & great twisties.

You leaving early enough to stop at Camp 18 for breakfast?

 

[sealfloorboards]

What is your definition of early?

 

[Slybird]

.....and where would we be forming up at in the beginning? Haven't talked with the "boss" yet, but I definitely think this is something we would want to do!

 

[Dragonrider]

Early is 0730 & the meeting place would be Micky D's on Glenco Road - the early ones get coffee, and we depart precisely on time. Next stop is Camp 18.

I highly recommend taking 202/47 from Astoria to Manning vs 30 - it will add an hour to the trip, however, leaving at 0730, breakfast at Camp 18 and returning via 202/47 will have us home around 2. BTDTHtTS….

Just talked with the "boss" and she said I could go out and play!! 7:30 works, no problem, however, being that I don't know the west-side of town, could you provide an address for the McDonald's, please? :bowdown: I sure hope everyone comes. This could pan out into a fantastic ryde!! :yes::yes:

Hwy 26 to North plains/forest grove and take a right at the top of the off ramp. You will see Mcdonalds. Not to far from our house.
Is Kathy coming also?

I believe that is the one Dragonrider was taking about

 

[Spyder Couple]

Does anyone have the CB on there spyder ? if so what channel are you on ? We have the CB on our bike. We have never used it but it is there.

Anyone let SpyderDan know about this ride ?

DragonRider are you joining us for the ride?


:2excited::2excited::2excited::2excited::2excited::doorag::clap:hyea::yes::yes::yes:

 

[Slybird]

You bet she's coming! She's anxious to ryde anytime and anywhere. Since she got her RT-AC in December, she's now racked up almost 5,000 miles. Probably will get her :spyder2: in for an oil change next week. She was happy to hear that you two would be coming, as well. Sounds like you're ryding your "blue beast"......that's wonderful. How's the back seat working for you, Cindy? Is it as comfy as you had hoped? I know that when Kathy rode behind me, she LOVED the fit and feel of the back seat. But as we all know, now that she's got her own - she don't ryde bi@#h no more!!! Take care, my friends! We'll see you on Saturday. :yes:

p.s. I just emailed SpyderDan with a link to this thread. Sure hope he and Jewell can make it. We could have one heck of a party comin' up!!!

 

[Spyder Couple]

:yes::yes: Kathy is riding with us hyea:hyea:

I didn't want to be the only female. More women the better. :2excited:

we are loving our spyder more all the time. The back seat is comfortable and so is the front seat. Darrell and I take turns driving. We will find almost any reason to ride the spyder. We have put more miles on the spyder in the 2.5 weeks we have had it then we did on our 2 wheeled bikes in a year.

[sealfloorboards]

7:30? Is that in the morning? You guys are animals but I guess I can do it too. Scotty, which route are you taking to McD's? We could hook up in Beaverton 'cause I really don't know the area too well having lived in Corvallis for the last 20 yrs. How cool to get to meet some new two legged :spyder2:'s. I agree, the more women the better. Got any spare? I have an empty rear seat:roflblack:. This adventure is sounding better all the time. Keep the word going out.

Ugh!!! See you then, will leave Newberg at 6:30.

John;

From Newberg, go over the mountain to Hillsboro, keep going North until you hit 26, head west and take the Glenco Rd exit. It's about a 40 minute ride for both of us.

Planning on going, and bringing my bride too.

 

[8 Legged Freak]

John,

I like DragonRider's way for you better.

By the way, I can take a co-pilot also.

Thanks Bill, I'll go that way. Are you coming thru Newberg?

John

 

[Dragonrider]

I'll go through 6 corners to Farmington Road, out to Hillsboro Highway, then straight out Glenco Road -

Coming off the mountain, if you turn left at the Hillsboro Highway junction (little restaurant, across from Smith's Berry Barn - if you pass Petrich's store, you've gone too far), you'll be on the same route. Stay on HH, it turns into 1st in Hillsboro, then Glenco Road, just north of town. Stay on Glenco road till you get to MD's. It's a very nice ride, that I've made a zillion times over the last 35 years. There's a gas station to top off by MD's, if you need it.

Where is your destination in Astoria, I might be able to hook up with you from Washington.
