• 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.

Spyders on the Skyline - Saturday 20 october 2012

Trying to fix an oil leak on my bike... if I can do it tonight, I'll try my best to be at Big Meadow at lunch time, I'll look for the Spyders!

Otherwise, I'll unfortunately miss this trip, grrr. Fingers crossed...
 
It looks like I'll be able to make the ride tomorrow I'll either meet you at the waffle House or
the entrance to Shenandoah Parkway at 9:30. The better half has chosen not to come so she can
trail ride her horse at the James River Park Saturday.

I think I'll go down VA 211 and enter the park from there, meet everyone at the restaurant, and accompany the group to Front Royal. Should be a good time!!

Dave, are you in? Let's meet! 0930? :doorag:

Alas, I'm out. I couldn't get my oil leak fixed tonight, and I don't have the spare clamps I need. I'll have to fix the bike in tomorrow. :banghead:

Sorry to hear about your problem and not being able to make the ride. The group is gathering. There were 6 of us for dinner tonight. When I arrived back at the hotel there were a couple Spyders in the parking lot.. Also heard there were a few at some of the other hotels.
 
I will try to make it up there too.

I just saw this thread as I normally just hang out on the rt thread. I will leave VA Beach around 6am so I should be able to meet you all by 930. otherwise, I hope to see you at Big Meadows.
 
I havent been on here much in the past month but got up early today and just happen to see this post. Already had plans with the family to go to Kings Dominion amusement park so couldnt go on this ride......but went over and met everyone there for breakfast.

I think there was a total of 9 spyders. Here is the picture of some of them in the parking lot.

It was nice to see some old spyder friends and meet some new spyder riders!
 
Sorry I couldn't make it

Sorry guys, I wussed out from the ride because of temps and my lack of sleep. I was planning a 500 mile day, but needed more rest for that. Have a great ride!
 
Preliminary Report

Made it home safe.

Started out with 12 Spyders. By the time we reached Big Meadows we were up to 12 Spyders riding in our group

Met 2 Canadians on Spyders the were riding the Skyline going south.

Met a femaile Spyder rider from Maryland at Big Meadows who was riding with a bunch of 2 wheelers, going south

Half the group split off for home at Route 211 around 4 PM.

6 Spyders completed the Skyline ride to the north end.

I took 300+ photos - Will post later.

Glad to hear you had a good turnout. We had hoped to join the group. After riding over 850 miles through SW VA, NE TN, & NW NC Tuesday through Friday we rested up today. Leaf colors were near peak and great mountain roads including US-58, US-421 and Blue Ridge Parkway. Hope we can join you on the next organized ride. Anyone interested in the Urbanna Oyster Festival Nov. 3 ?
 
We had a great time, looking forward to the next ride, enjoyed meeting everyone and hope everyone made it home safe.

Yay! I see mine! :) :) It was nice to meet you this morning! I hope you guys had a good time at Kings Dominion!

^ Wow, I used a lot of exclamation marks there. Hmmm, perhaps I'm still excited about meeting all those great spyder riders!
 
Wow, this was a great introduction to some fellow spyder riders! I met up with Hollywood to travel over from Maryland (187 miles) then met up with the Ruby Tuesday's group for dinner. Waffle House for breakfast and a the Skyline ride all the way to Front Royal (105). Then, back home.

Total miles: 412 :thumbup:

Thanks to everyone who rode along it was great to meet you and I can't wait to do another ride.
