Au contraire my friend, It is WE who thank YOU, This was one of the best rallies that I have attended, EVER. I even managed to score a MOTORCYCLE pin from Whiteface, Let me thank you, Ron and Chuck and anyone else that I missed. This was great. GREAT !
WOW, what a GREAT trip.

Great ride up there Thurssay;. Beautiful. Not a cloud in the sky.
Friday, a ride to Fort Ticonderoga and the balloon festival.
Saturday, a great ride to Whiteface Mountain. The evening was topped by a Dinner Cruise on Lake George.
It wasn't raining so I left about 4:30 this morning for another terrific ride home, this one was even better because I started a few hours before dawn and the sun came up while I was riding. FANTASTIC.

I'll post more pictures soon.

Thanks to all who put this event together. Your hard work has not been unnoticed. I'd love to see if the two group shots that we did can be available to download, so that we can print them. Here's a couple of shots.

just want to add a thank you, and a big one at that to "eagleeye" (larry) our photographer, for giving up his free time and taking hundreds of photos for spyderquest!! believe me when I say he could have had a lot better time if he hadn't been carrying that camera around with him the whole time. larry must have walked two miles that night at farkle bingo!! hats off to you larry, and thanks again!:firstplace: ps. looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labor!:thumbup:

[mindman]

This was our first event ever and we feel privileged to have been a part of this amazing gathering. We could not have scripted a better time. The length of the rides was just right - not too long, not too short - and the scenery was breathtaking. The Spyderlovers we met at Spyderquest were all open and friendly. We felt welcome and right at home. This event had the potential to be the beginning AND the end of our rally experience. We are definitely hooked !

We can't thank the organizing team enough. You did a fantastic job and I say this as a professional project manager. The amount of planning and attention to detail you put into this was substantial, and the results were superb. Thank you SO MUCH!

I hope you do decide to take this on again. If you do....count on us being there!

Please, do it again! I'd have made the trip this year, but my Spyder is still tied up in the shop, for the recall work . . . I was raised in Syracuse, and spent two tours at Plattsburgh . . . as you are probably aware, the Adirondacks are the "Miami Beach" of upstate and Central New York and I love that part of the country! Never too flimsy an excuse to go there!

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

SUPERCALAFRAGELISTICEXBEALADOCIOUS...?And this doesn't even begin to cover this event.......To the people who ( and they've already been named ) thought to do this and managed to pull it off .....Well all I can say is " BINGO ", This is an insiders joke.....No really I / we ( DEE ) had such a great time I think I'm going to " CRY " because it's over.....It's really not ALL about the Spyders....It's ALL about the PEOPLE who ride them.....The friendship exuded there just so powerful I'm crying right now typing this......I re-connected with old friends and made some NEW ones. Like the couple I gave the gas to and didn't get thier names, or the guy who got his gloves back because they fell off his Spyder as He was leaving the Studio Motel and I screamed loud enough for his wife to hear and they came back and got them, or the guy I helped push his Spyder onto a rented U-Haul trailer because it wasn't running.....It's really about the PEOPLE...and the SHARING ........Can't wait for SPYDER # 2......Mike

[GMac]

We had a great time and truly look forward to the next one, whenever that may be!

Awesome job and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

I just have to say again what a really great job that the whole Spyderquest crew did organizing and implementing this event. The Farkle Bingo was a huge success with a vast array of valuable prizes and the food we had that night was awesome thanks to a great cook and helpers. I thought the rides were well organized and no accidents which was a plus. I know everyone had a great time at one of the best events if not "the" best Spyder get together that I have ever attended.....and we have been to some really great events. Hats off to all involved in this event!!!:thumbup::yes::bowdown:

It was nice getting back with old friends and talking with lots of people that have the same love for the Spyder as we do.

Adding our special thank you to Randy and the gang for a fantastic weekend. This was the first of hopefully many rallies we will attend, and we must tell you if they are all as good as Spyderquest we will be attending as many as possible. Please plan a Second Annual Spyderquest!!!:yes::yes:

Here are the links to some snap shots taken from my iPhone from SpyderQuest 2013.

Congratulations and Thank You to the New York Spyder Riders for hosting SpyderQuest 2013. It was well organized, well executed and you pick the perfect locations!

It was great to see familiar faces and it's always nice to meet new friends. Thank you to the NYSR, BRP, Progressive Motorsports, the many volunteers and supporting vendors.

I'll write a proper blog on the event but I just wanted to say thanks to Randy and the crew for pulling off a great event in such a short amount of time. You guys did so many things right that I really can't think of one thing that was wrong. Great job and looking forward to next year. Thanks guys

"We missed you Bob"

Thanks... Tink, The Missus and I were there; but not so much part of it... :shocked: Being Spyderless; we spent Saturday on Canal St shopping, and taking in the sights. We did get down to the Lac du Saint Sacrament to watch all of you lining up for pictures prior to boarding. :thumbup:

i know this event has a potential to grow huge and so will the need for more help. .There is one that you forgot to mention so I will, It is ZRC and he helped to get the registration into a site that made the form available very early in the process, thanks Ryan and also Steve's user name is waterbug and he and his wife were very helpful at the campgrounds keeping the crew fed and generally helping out without being part of the team, but are now. Thanks everyone, Ron.

[Waterbug]

Just wanted to say thanks to all those who helped organize SpyderQuest 2013. Everything ran smoothly and the rides and meals were great. Your hospitality and warmth were very much appreciated. We'll be back! Ryde safe.
