    Default Hotels for Texas Spyders in the Hills October 18-20,2018

    OMG!! The hotels in Boerne are all smaller hotels. We had 30 rooms blocked at the BW for a special rally rate. We are hearing they have been reserved!! We got a message from Comfort Inn this morning they are getting reservations, but still have rooms available. All the other hotels in Boerne have rooms available. NOTHING is far in Boerne. Vendors, ryde starts, BBQ, social events will be at the www.pavilionfoodpark.com. If you go to their website home page at the top left it says "map" click on that and you will get a google map. From links it will show you the location of the Boerne hotels. Pick the hotel that best fits you and make your reservation! On our rally website "Accommodation" page we have the special rally rates of the hotels. Most of them you have to call the hotel directly to get the rate. Exciting--Boerne will be crawling with Spyders! www.spydersinthehills.com 🤠

    The Best Western was supposed to be full but the other day when I decided I was going, I called them first. I got a suite for the same price as a regular room thanks to my rewards I signed up for at Spyderfest. Dont tell anyone I told you....

    I'm signed up for the rally and made reservations at the Motel 6. But now that I have a motorhome, I'll reserve at a campground. Where are campers planning to stay?

    Default Spyders in the Hills

    Prairie Spyder,

    I have reserved "The Yellow Rose of Texas" cabin at Top of the Hill RV Resort. Same place as last year. Great! Only a short 8-mile ryde from Boerne. I saw a 30-foot camper with a Spyder there last year.

    www.topofthehillrvresort.com

    Enjoy.

    That's the one I was looking at. There's one closer, but more expensive. I'll probably see you there.

    Is there any GPX file download for the rydes this year? I see there are a lot of rydes to choose from since the last time I came , 2 years ago.

    You may have it already, since it's the best known of the rydes, but just in case, here's a link to where you can download the GPX file:

    Spyders in the Hills has a list of 15 rydes to choose from on their site. I was just wondering if they started using Basecamp and have the ryde files available. They can post the files on their facebook page. I do it all the time with the rydes I lead. Just takes a few minutes.

    We're not quite that sophisticated! Last year we mapped them out in Google maps and converted them to QR codes. We thought that was pretty high-tech! We do print a book with Ryde details, maps, etc. that is handed out as part of registration.

    That is the same thing they told me two years ago. Last night, it took me ten minutes to do a three Sisters route starting and ending at the Best Western Hotel on Garmin Basecamp. I can post the GPX file of that ride on Facebook in five minutes for anyone to download and load into their GPS. I have done it many times on out East Texas Spyder Ryders Facebook page. I cant do it on the SITH Page though probably because I am not an administrator. I did another 200 mi route that has the Guadalupe River road and Luckenback on the same route. Its not hard. If I had one of those Ryde books I could do it on every one of the rides but not at a moments notice at registration. I would need to do it on my laptop at home.

    If you can send me one of those books or email me just a pic of the maps. I can post the routes on our https://www.facebook.com/groups/USSp...ers.EastTexas/ page. I just need some time to transfer the routes to Basecamp.
    Its nice to be able to do the routes in a smaller group that can go at its own pace. The guy that led the Three Sisters ride when I went was slow and we had to egg him on to pick up the pace. Then there are those that like going at a slower pace or get separated from the main group for one reason or another. Those folks need to be able to use their GPS to finish the ride they came all that way to do.

    Looking forward to attending for the first time this year. Wife's parents are in Kerrville so will visit for a few days and then the rally. Excited that the Road Warrior Foundation is ending their San Diego to San Antonio ride at the rally as well. See you in October.

    Lots of rydes. Right now we still have 2017 rydes on our website, but we will be adding even more for this year! You will receive a 2018 Rally Ryde Map Book at the registration table. It has codes you can scan to load Google maps. I will check with some other team members if they can do what you are asking.

    We don't have our 2018 Rydes mapped out yet. You will get a nice Rally Ryde Map Book in your registration packet. Last year we did not post our ryde routes on line. Not sure yet about this year.

    Default Road Warrior Awareness Ryde and patriotic BBQ at Spyders in the Hills rally

    SPYDERS IN THE HILLS RALLY --We are beginning to get a few of you registering for the Texas rally who plan to arrive with the ROAD WARRIOR vets. After your arrival, there will be a police escorted Road Warrior Awareness Ryde led by our Road Warriors down historic Boerne Main St. Immediately following the ryde will be a patriotic Texas BBQ honoring our Road Warriors. To participate, you will need to be registered for the rally prior to your arrival. We need to know how many will be attending so we will have enough food and give the PD an approximate number of ryders. Texas welcomes you! Very exciting!!! Only a $25 registration fee at www.spydersinthehills.com🤠
