Spyder Ryders update--Columbia, IL to Arnold, MO

August the 15th Starting at Columbia IL 10am and ending in Arnold Mo,
We will be running down the old and new Hwy 21------It was one of the first north/south roads built by the CCC workers during the depression. So we will be passing by the site of a CCC Camp in Desoto. The CCC road builders were paid by the foot-----so every time you happened upon a big tree or rock they made a curve. You received more money than going in a straight line. That explains why all the curves. We will make a short stop at Ft Davison in Pilot Knob at the site of a civil war battle that took 1200 Confederates soldiers lives in two days. Then on to Ironton's Baylee Joe's BBQ ribs smoked over Cherry wood for lunch.
We will be going by a number of closed mining operations of interest on our way home.
So I hope you can make the run with us----and you should ask a friend it they want to ride along.
There are nice folks out there riding on two wheels that would love to ride along with rock stars.
