2014-15 Riding Season Schedule Hi all, Well it’s nearly SPRING – and for us Spyder Ryders that means plenty of three-wheeled adventures! We had our first social night of the season this week, and along with a few drinks and a bite to eat – and great company – we nutted out a rough group riding plan for the season! We still have some ‘fleshing’ out to do and will keep you updated on Facebook. If you have some ideas for rides, let us know and we can add it to the list! And if you are keen to organise a ride even better…. Social Gatherings These are a fun opportunity to get together and talk about all sorts of stuff… but mostly Spyders. We have a great time talking Spyder maintenance, tips and tricks and swapping stories about how fast they go… You are welcome to bring partners and family to these events - the focus is fun!! No commitment necessary – just come if and when you can! We move the venue around – let us know if there is somewhere you can recommend. Spyders are optional - LOL we know we ride them every opportunity we can, but we also know many of us will be coming straight from work, so drive/ride whatever you like:) FIRST Monday of every second month Next social - 6 October – 6.30pm Venue to be advised (feel free to make a recommendation).
