Any Ride Interest For Kentucky Lake Weekend

I would like to try to get a weekend ride at Barkley Lake and Kentucky Lake. Here is what I fave in mind:
Place-Buzzard Rock Resort & Marina
Time- Oct. 14th thru 16th with over night stay Fri. 14th and Sat. 15th and mostly ride home on Sun. 16th
Reason- Can`t find a reason not to, lol.
I don`t really have much else planned out yet as far as rides, etc. We can plan more if we get some interest. This is an absolutly beautiful place to ride, not many tight twisties but lots of scenic roads. Buzzard Rock has some resort units with 2 double beds (in the same room) overlooking the lake and some cabins with 2 qween beds in seperate rooms. This is the off-season so it is a little cheaper. Resort units are $84.15 + tax per night and the cabins are somewhere around $175.00 per night. We are OK with a resort or spliting a cabin with another couple or person. Buzzard Rock has a deck type cafe with great burgers, wraps, etc. and a deck bar that overhangs the marina with ice cold beer, margaritas, etc. which brings up another issue. We do not drink and ride but we will have a few drinks in the evenings, if this is against your grain this ride is not for you. If you do not but don`t mind if others do that is great also. If there are Spyder riders that would like to kick back on the deck and have a few cold ones and trade stories in the evenings then we should have a ball. Here is a link to Buzzard Rock http://www.buzzardrock.com/ I will post a couple pics but have more if you want me to email them to you. I can take care of all reservations if you would like but it will be hard to cancel at the last minute or you can do it yourself if you prefer. What I would like to do is get enough commitment to book the rooms, cabins, etc. If we wait we will loose out. Looking to do this soon so we can and get as many riders as possible. :thumbup:

Barkley lake weekend

I discussed this plan to my wife Leesa, she checked to see if she had to work that weekend and doesn't.
As a kid 45 years ago we wore the water out skiing on Barkley and Ky lakes. In the fall of 76 we hit a stump coming out of a cove in Barkley and sunk my buddies dad's house boat. One of those things you never forget.

We are interested in the proposal, keep me in touch. Pm and i'll exchange phone numbers. Sounds like fun.

Great, I think it will be fun. I will send a PM
 
I think Judy and I would attend!

I can't think of anything better than kicking back after a long days ride and having a beer or two. I spent a lot of time on the lake as a kid. My dad owned a lot there in the area your talking about. Keep me posted and if we can be of any help let me know.
 
Hmmmmmmm ....... Sounds like a good time

I can't commit to anything as of right now, cause TEDDYS schedule is always changing.Curious if they offer camp-sites with electric and also offer restrooms with showers, if you know? I ask cause with not even getting 40 hrs/week at work, my budget is EXTREMELY tight & our Moto-Mate Camper makes for a great home away from & camp-sites are usually pretty easy on the wallet.This DOES sound like it would be a great time with great ppl, so I hope we can make it work.Dave & Teddy

There is camping close to the cabins but I think we could probably get it worked out so you could just park in the boat ramp parking lot. You only take up as much room as a truck. I will talk to them and see what can be done, really nice people I think.
 
ky lake

I am getting excited to think bmw and cincy spyder may be joining us. I had the pleasure of being with bmw and Linda saturday. Leesa and i had a great time together for lunch. I visited with Teddy's owner,cincy at spyderfest. I hope you can schedule it in. we'll have a blast.
 
Yes yes yes.
We are heading to Branson the week prior with the MoGang. However I think back to back weekends of RYding sounds great!!

Kicking back with a beverage won me over. . . .!

The calendar ( at least for now ) is open that weekend.

Count us in.

Chickenhoose, are you coming down I57 through Cairo? If so PM me your schedule when the day gets closer. We will swing northeast from our house to intercept you and then pair up rYding to the lake. I don't mind hitting those southern Illinois roads !

:thumbup:Appreciate you checking into it for us:thumbup: It would be GREAT to see both of you again along with many of the other SpyderLovers.com family :2thumbs: Let us know what they say:popcorn:
 
I have PM`d all who have shown interest but I am going to call eveveryone who would like me to Thurs. afternoon to try and arrange the first rounds of reservations. If you would like me to call you also even if you just want info get me your # before Thurs. evening. They do not have a huge # of cabins and resort units so don`t wait to long. Would love to have anyone who wants to come.
 
ky weekend

Striper king,
I received an email from Steve Mac today. He indicates he wants included in our ky ride. I hope others in the area will step up to join us. The trees should be beautifull this time of year and cooler. How great will that be?

Hope to talk tomorrow night.

GREAT RESPONSE SO FAR

So I have called everyone except for tofriendscreek and I just saw his post and will call him also.
Here is where we are so far. There are 8-cabins available and 5-resort rooms. chickenhoose and BMW are going to share a cabin. SteveMac and myself (StriperKing) and CincySpyder are sharing another cabin, CyncySpyder and Teddy are taking the couch so that should work out great. RCDurango is taking a resort unit so that leaves 6-cabins and 4-resort units left. I do not have these reserved so who knows how long they will last. I do have exact costs now. A cabin is 170.75 total including tax per night and a resort is 91.88 total per night. Don`t miss out we will have a ball. Everybody sounded really excited. :clap:
