Today stated at 8:25am for the ride to Granby. Mark Adams was our leader from motel to Staging area. We had around 30 Spyders. About 2km down the rode we ran into rain. It rained for about 10 km. We arrived in Granby about 1 hour later. In the pictures you can see the crowd that was there. This was just the Homecoming parade. Not everyone was in there. Lamont and his crew were there. We left there around 11:30am. It took us about 50 minutes to arrive at BRP. Just before Valcourt the rain began to come down again. This time it was much heavier than earlier in the morning. After parking we took a shuttle bus to the registration area. After registering we walked around that area, they had the tech area, new models on display, a plsce where you could buy t-shirts, sweat shirts, etc.. We then headed to the main tent area. We ate lunch and proceeded to the factory tours. I found the Spyder plant and the Ski-doo plant very interesting. Showers were spotty through out the afternoon. There where Spyders from everywhere. A lot from Ontario, Quebec, Missouri, Wisconsin, New York and everwhere else. Here are some Pics. I do not know how many Spyders there was, had to be over 3,000. The majority where RT's, then F3's, GS/RS to ST's. Had a great time. We did not stay for the BBQ. We wanted to beat the rain back to motel.148639148640148641148642148643
