• 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.

Spyder Ryde-In Kanab, UT November 30, Dec 1, Dec 2

Utah Ryde

Those dates work for us and I've marked our calendar. Looking forward to meeting you in person. Once you get more information, let's get this posted on the Spyder Ryders Mojave Desert FB page. Who's sponsoring the ryde?
 
Just got back from that area. Spent 3 days in the HIE in Kanab.
Did the north rim, Page & Glen Canyon dam, Lees Ferry, Marble Canyon & a dozen other wonderful places.
Ate in Houston's for the 3 nights. They catered to my gluten free needs & very reasonable prices.

It was our last visit to the beautiful western states as we are both very close to 80 & getting more senile by the day. The chances of a catastrophic hospital visit & subsequent bankruptcy loom large. We have managed a 3 - 4 week trip a year for 28 years so can't complain.
We covered 5000 miles in our 20 day visit this time. Not too shabby for a couple of old farts.

Not on my Spyder though, in a Hertz Toyota Highlander.

I hope you all have great weather & soak in the fantastic scenery.

Glad your still having fun at your age. I am approaching 80 myself and aim to squeeze the last drop of fun I can while still able. Camille and I did Bryce, Hwy 12 to Torrey, Moab, Grand Junction and Durango this Summer. Life does not end at 80 my friend. You have a lot more to look forward to. Talk about looking forward with a positive attitude, my Uncle Bill got married for the first time at 97 to a lady who was 82. (they had lived together for 25 years and he told me he thought the time was right) Go Figure!

I am very interested in attending. I will have to see how my schedule stacks up and see if I can roll down.... Long trip for me! But want to head that way.
 

Chilly but doable Bob. If you delay your riding a bit in the morning and don't leave at "O'thirty" in the morning it should be OK. Coldest ride would be Bryce

Canyon due to the higher elevation. Temp there @ 7:30 this morning is 34* and high is 54* today. Heated gear or "Long John's" would be my

recommendation for Kanab.

Yup, just have to wait and see. High for that time of year in Kanab is 80 and lowest is 5. Average monthly precipitation is 1.2" so not expecting any problems with wet, cold roads.

A freak wet storm is about the only thing that would cancel my plans.

Thanks, heated gear is always in the trunk as well as rain gear. I'll see if I can get Bonnie to tote me around as I'll still be recovering from rotator cuff surgery. Hopefully I'll be good to go by then.
 
Rooms booked,hope I can actually make it. I love that area but have never actually traveled it in the late fall,early winter. i am trying to get my wife and brother in law to come down with me.

Hope you can make it Bob. Would like to see you both again. We met in Florence for lunch at the Mexican restaurant several years back.

We are 10 days out and the forecast is pretty much as I expected; cold at night, 40-50 during the day, no precipitation.
 
So... Is the thing still happening? Cold weather and some snow out that way. Just wondering if I should head that way or not?
