Hopefully we can get some others to show up. Would be real nice to have a large number of Carolina Spyder riders to show up.

I'll be wearing my Carolina Spyder Ryders shirt!!!

If any one gets up this way and has trouble in any way just call me. We have a trailer and can haul a Spyder if needed. Here's my cell # 936-581-9964. It's a Texas number but we live in Hendersonville, NC......

For all of you that are traveling, be sure to download the Spyder to the Rescue list from the home page of the forum. It's located on the right side of the page. That way if something happens and you need help you can call.

We'll be heading to Maggie Valley Wednesday afternoon hopefully a little after 5pm as soon as I can get off work. I figure we'll be there about 6:30, but if any of you need help just call my cell number.

Catniption here. Her Royal Pinkness and I will be traveling from Moncks Corner, SC. I'll be heading out a bit early to go to SpyderDuck's place and then taking a day to have East Tennessee put some new tires on for me and give a little tune-up. We will head toward Maggie Valley Thursday morning from Hickory, NC.

Requesting a little help from the NC Ryders...




Some of you may recall that last year was my first year to help coordinate the Group Rydes at the BRP Owners Event (OE) last year in Durango.
And, I've been asked to help again in that same capacity this year. We have already received a lot of positive feedback from the Durango rydes last year, and we are going to try to make this year's rydes even better (the process, the maps, etc...).


I have been riding around our beautiful country for 30+ years and still have not come across an area that I didn't absolutely enjoy and always end up making new friends while I'm out there. The NC/TN Magggie Valley, Great Smokies, Blue Ridge Parkway, Deal's Gap area is a tough area to beat when it comes to quality of scenic rydes and great roads to ryde. Each time I'm there... I have a difficult time leaving!!!!


We are putting together a "Volunteer Ryde Guide Crew" for theOwners event. Last year, time was a little short and we didn't accomplish all of our goals, but we learned a little and are planning some improvements for even more enjoyable group and self-guided rydes this June!


If you are interested in being a Ryde Guide this year, we are looking for Spyder Ryders who:


- Are willing to use some of their time while at the OE to be a part of 2 rydes during the event
- Are somewhat familar with the area or can adapt to or become familarized with new roads quickly, by reviewing Google route maps
- Enjoys leading, sweeping and ryding in the middle of groups to lead if the group becomes separated
- Wants to help the other ryders in the group have the best possible ryde experience


If you know someone who fits the bill but may be a little timid to step forward... please fel free to nominate someone and I will PM them to see
if they are interested. We are also looking for a few people who would like to help man the "CRIB" Can Am Ryde Information Booth.


Feel free to private message me, post here or you can email me directly at George.IRide@gmail.com


I hope to hear from you and ryde with you in June... if not before! (how about a practice ryde for those who are close?)


Thanks,
G

Have to cancel my trip to Maggie Valley this year. After all the planing and arranging for the place in Waynesville I find out my oldest grandson's graduation is planed for the 14th. Being a 7 hr ride from here it just is not feasible. Wishing all those going a great time. :sour: :sour:

Hi! I have been hanging around here for about a week or so. I finally took my first ride on a spyder last wednesday, and I was impressed. Now it is just a matter of which toy I will be giving up to get one.
I just came across this event in Maggie Valley, and noticed that it is the same time that we are heading up for a pre-mid atlantic meet of the M109 riders. I also see that you are in the Apex area. If you would like, we have a group that will also be leaving from Apex on wednesday morning, and maybe you could ride down with us. There is quite an assortment of us going. Everything from M109's, Harleys, honda VTX, and this year I will be on my kawasaki. There will be about 5-6 of us and are always looking for new road partners. We will be staying at the Radison, Microtel, and the Valley Inn. Shoot me a Pm, and I will send you a phone number if you are interested.

I saw a lot of spyders, and talked to a lot of owners in Maggie Valley. I was there for the pre-m109 riders meet, and we had a blast. I didn't have a spyder, so I didn't really get to go to any of the events, but I had great conversations with riders that I meet at the Ramada Inn. I hope to make one of these future events and actually be riding a spyder of my own.
