Spyder Odyssey - August 16-18, 2018
Kingston, ON
http://spyderodyssey.weebly.com/
Saturday, August 11 - Jeff will lead to Auburn IN for touring the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum and the adjacent National Automotive and Truck Museum.
This will be an all-day ride. It’s about 125 miles from McCordsville/Fishers area to Auburn. So about 2.5+ hours with a rest/refuel stop. If you are into history and a car / truck buff, then you will certainly enjoy these museums.
The two museums share the same parking lot (1600 Wayne St., Auburn, IN 46706).
The entrance fees are $12.50 per person to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum and $10.00 per person to the National Auto and Truck Museum.
IF we could get a total of 12 people committed to this ride (drivers and passengers) by end of day this coming Friday (August 4th), I can try to get a group discount.
The Route: straight up I69 to Auburn which is about 30 miles north of Ft. Wayne.
Departure Plans: (since people could be coming from various areas around the Indy area and the state, you can meet the group riding up from Indy in the museum parking lot - target time is 10:45)
First Departure Point - 5981 W Broadway, McCordsville, IN 46055 - 8:00 am on 8/11 in the CVS parking lot in McCordsville (corner of Mt.Comfort Rd aka 600 West aka Olio Road and Pendleton Pike aka Broadway aka Route 36)
Second Departure Point - 2649 Enterprise Dr, Anderson, IN 46013 - 8:30 am in the Skyline Chili parking lot at the intersection of I69 and Route 9 (aka Route 38). This is last exit for Pendleton before getting to the next exit which is Anderson. Note: The Skyline Chili parking lot is behind the northeast corner of the intersection).
Rest/Refuel Stop: Approx. 9:30 at Love’s / McDonald’s gas station at I69 and Route 18 (about 60 miles into the journey)
Estimated Arrival Time at Museums: 10:45 AM - 11:00 AM
I envision people touring the museums at their own pace. So anyone can head back home at any time they want. For a group ride back to Indy, I am thinking of a target departure time of 2:30’ish. We can decide how we feel. If we want to take the interstate I69 back which would be the fastest, or take back roads noodling through small towns (which will be more time consuming).
We honor the memory of our friend Steve Bannon by coming together to do two of the things he loved the most: Riding motorcycles and sharing a good time with friends old and new!

ATTENTION!!!
I sadly must post this.
Eddie, on Thursday evening, had a heart attack and will have to have open heart in a few months to remove a blockage. Thankfully, the Lord looked out for him and he is already feeling much better.
But, due to the likely hood of his surgery being the beginning of summer, we will have to cancel the rally this year. I hope everyone understands and we do apologize but we can’t do the rally without Eddie.
I will start calling everyone that has signed up so far and the vendors to let them know we will be canceling this year. If you know someone that wanted to come but may not have Facebook, please pass on the info.
Again, we are sorry but Eddie’s health and wellbeing must come first.
We hope everyone has a great year.
