West Coast Spyder Event... interested??

[Desert Spyder]

OMG Kat. Maybe we could do a staging in Napa for the final leg to Eureka. Any idea what the lodging is like up there?

Tons of lodging in Eureka and nearby. We will probably head up Sunday to get things ready. This is still in it's infancy.

Mods so far... Trunk Liner, Fog Lamps, Evo Sway Bar, Evo 02 Modifier, K&N Air Filter, CanAm Seat Upgrade, Tank Bag, CalSci Windshield, CanAm Billet Handlebar inserts, Grip Puppies & Yoshi Pipe.

Should I send you folks my contact info?

[KNIGHTRIDER]

I'm in.

[SpyderGirl]

There will be more information in the coming weeks. Stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled.

[ScottyB]

Count me in. A West coast event is needed.

Please keep me posted.

Thank you

We rode down to Hollywood for the annual owners event in 2009, a mere 400ish miles which was no problem for us. I was very encouraged by how we handled it and thought it a good practice for our big trip in September '09 across the country.

We rode roughly 6200 miles from home to as far as Gatlinburg, TN and back in a 19 day period but on just one Spyder so we switched back and forth. It was tough and there were days that we were really tired but we got through it. It was our first time being out that far for that long and I know if we did it again it would be better. Our biggest obstacles were rain and cold.

This past year we rode our (now two) Spyders down to Arizona for just over a week. This trip turned out to be 2400 miles each from SF Bay Area to Sedona, AZ then down to Phoenix, then across to extreme Southern CA and then back home. This time around our biggest obstacles were wind and heat.

How far would you have to travel to get to our event this year?

Sounds like FUN Maybe some of us from the NorthWest can meet up somewhere and caravan together and cruise down the coast!I'll watch the board for further up dates.

Sounds good! For those north/northeast of Portland, great idea to hook up and head south together. As the time gets closer and Spydergirl has a plan put together, lets talk about joining up and heading down 101 south, maybe?

[SpyderGirl]

I am so happy that you are all very excited about this because we are too. Very soon a committee will be formed and will be meeting to make this event a reality.... so keep your eyes peeled.

[SpyderGirl]

Just to update everyone.... we are getting the committee together now. We even have a website up (although there isn't much there in regards to the event). Once we have more concrete stuff to post up, it'll be there.

The website is www.spydersintheredwoods.com.

Sounds Great!
Would Love to see something on the west Coast. I really wanted to make the Spyders in Hollywood Event in 09 But Didnt Have Enough Notice. Will put on Calender and See what Happens. If So there will be 2 possibly!

Looks like a Nice Area by the coast!

[SpyderGirl]

Just a peek of what this area has to offer....

Im In!

[sandrunr1]

I keep seeing the statement, keep your eyes peeled. So I got out my trusty needlenose plyers and as I started to peel my eyes, Moabgirl ran screaming at me yelling what are you doing? So I guess I will just watch the thread.

[Dragonrider]

There are lots of terrific campgrounds in the redwoods too (reserve EARLY).

Crater Lake also offers a loop down the back to 97 -Klamath Falls -Weed - then either back to the coast through Redding, or South via I5 or 395. All nice rides that I've done many times.

[Bootie]

I did that ride last summer. But I missed the "Ryde Naked" thing. Would you consider moving that part up to the Aug. Dates. Then I would try a little harder to make it.

[sealfloorboards]

I already have it on my summer calendar. I'm hoping to be one of many vendors to show up and support a new West Coast rally.

Ride in comfort,

I would love to see it happen, I would try like hell to get me and my wife there to!

[Desert Spyder]

My wife scheduled her vacation for this. I'll be on a 6 month vacation twice a year schedule. Just need to make motel reservations and ryde. Good job Kat.
