[Bob Denman]

Just a quick note to let all of you know that we'll be back in September 2015 in the same GREAT location!
Plans are being made right now, to insure that this next one, will be the best one yet! :2thumbs:

[Bob Denman]

:D We're sure not going to disagree with you! :thumbup:
The folks that put this all together, are about 117% committed to making sure that EVERY aspect of the event is improved from last year's effort.
NOT to say; that last year was a bust! :D
They want to see a better event; each time out, for you guys! :2thumbs:

[new2spyder]

Great news!! When will the dates be announced? :clap:

[Deanna777]

Bob: Will next years Spyderquest be at the Great Escape Lodge?


Also, Will the" Great Escape Lodge" be a host Hotel?

Will there be more vendors?

Will be more rides/ different rides next year?

I will put for time off @ work some time this month for next years Spyderquest. WoHoo
Deanna

[Bob Denman]

:D Not just yet... :D
There's a lot of planning to take care of first... :shocked:

[Dan McNally]

Great! I may go up a little early this year, so I can get around to visit friends and relatives in the area (which I spent most of my time doing, this year) and have more time to participate in Spyder Quest activities. Lake George is an awesome venue for this . . .

Like your thoughts
Some shorter rides
More vendors. If can't get enough sponsor vendors open it up to other vendors for a fee, like Americade
Allow people not registered in to shop vendors. Can only benifit them
JMO

I'm sure you will keep us posted as more details develop, all of the work that goes into such a great event is much appreciated! :bowdown:

[BikerDoc]

All the great feedback I got from friends who attended this year tell me the likelihood for more vendors and more attendees is good.....

Bob: Will next years Spyderquest be at the Great Escape Lodge?
...Will there be more vendors?
Deanna
I hope so. Vendors are important. It shouldn't be hard to find more venders as SpyderQuest seems to be the only event on the East Coast that has vendors at all. And there are LOTS of Spyder owners here in the East that have cash to spend. http://www.robmorgan.net/img-sm/free-random-smileys-214.gif

I would like to see more vendors AND the website vender list should be kept up to date at all times as vendors commit. This year the vendor list was not complete, and while I was waiting for the list to fill in, the registration period expired and no more registrations were accepted. So I guess I learned my lesson. :( I'll be registering earlier for the next one. But more vendors, and a "real time" vendor list are important to participants and vendors, IMHO, because that will attract more folks who want to do business with the vendors that attend.

This year i had a lot of work done.
Sway bar, laser alignment, heim links. Had a blast.
But to speakk for my wife and most women no clothes. BORING!!!!
Should consider it as a whole. Not just riders. I as well as everyone else can ride anytime.
NOT much representation there for spyder clothing.
Need to look at everyones needs as a whole. That is what good business is about.

Sorry if anyone is offended. But we need to look at the whole picture and not as just riders.

PLEASE be open minded:D

[bscrive]

Well, we can't wait until next year. Deb and I had a great time last two years and this year the GEL was fantastic. Don't know how they will make it better but I am sure that they will. As soon as they announce it, Deb and I will be booking. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Bob, will you be there next year?

[mindman]

This is great news! I'm thrilled that that the NY group is willing to do this again. It's a fantastic event that I wouldn't miss for anything. I'm looking forward to my 3rd Spyderquest T-shirt!
Now all I have to do is make sure I see the news on time to get into the host hotel. The rooms go so fast it's like winning the lottery to get one!

[Chupaca]

but of course it has to be better..!! Each time you learn what was lacking and you fix it. It's a growing leaps and bounds just hope I can make it to one...:2thumbs:

[Bob Denman]

Bob, will you be there next year?
As I mentioned; there's TONS of work to do between now and then...
And...
There's this little party out in Missouri first :thumbup:; perhaps we should let them take care of their announcements, before we start hoggin' all of the space in here... :D

Truth is... until we have the dates "cast in stone"... :dontknow:

But I sure HOPE so!

Eagerly waiting for dates. Comfort Suites was very nice as well.glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the comfort suites as well. we are working on the dates, as bob said, but until we can jell all dates and venue availabilities together, we won't release a date or host hotels information. a successful meeting was had yesterday with the hardcore 13 committee members being there. as i mentioned before, we really could use some other volunteers to help out, in the event this party continues to grow!! please feel free to pm me if you have some time on your hands,and would like to be a part of the spyderquest team!! (by the way, we manage to do some great stuff aside from spyderquest too, like major ride weekends, snowmobile trips etc., as a group)

[Bob Denman]

Don't forget to tell him about the "pizza and wing" parties... :D

PLEASE be open minded:DThis is a thought, I think that BRP should be there, and sell some clothing. Or any other vendors that sell Spyder Clothing. ( BRP was @ Spyderfest in Springfield, MO this year) I agree with you about "What Good Business is about". This is my 2cents worth. Deanna

[Bob Denman]

Hi Dee!
These are exactly the sort of issues and suggestions, that are being reviewed right now; in an attempt to improve upon last year's show! :thumbup:

[Deanna777]

I am going for sure next year. WOHOO GEL was an excellent place, a lot of things to do in 1 place. The rooms were very nice. Deanna

[Dan McNally]

I, too, really liked the Comfort Suites. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the room was very comfortable . . . I'm looking forward to next year, eagerly!

[Deanna777]

I agree. Sponsors free outsiders fee. I listen . That is what i get paid to do.I'M LISTEN to people at spyderquest going to Walmart down the road and buying spyderman replica for $3.00 quote.
Need to have more people to represnt the spyders . KEEP IT THERE.

The only thing you have to do is listen. It is not about what you want. It is a group.
GOD GAVE U EARS TO LISTEN. USE THEM.

PLEASE YOU CAN LOSE IT FASTER THEN U GET IT!!!!!!!

[eagleeye299]

We would all love to see more vendors at next years event. However we can't make vendors come, we can only offer them the space. For the vendors it's an economic decision. As the event grows it will make more economic sense for more vendors to attend. If there is a particular vendor anyone wants to see there, you can call or email them and ask if they are going next year. Let them know that you want them there and will be looking to spend $ with them. The greater the demand for vendors the more will show.

[Bob Denman]

SpyderFest, and SpyderQuest... http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_12.gif

Two GREAT events; separated by a couple of letters, and about 1450 miles... :thumbup:
If you've been to both... :congrats:
If not... it's time to start planning! nojoke

In 2013 they had group rides, plus what I mentioned below.

2014 Spyderfest if people wanted to going riding on their own they could, they also had a place for the vendors,( which was inside) so we could get our spyders worked on ( or farkled).

Plus BRP was there, they had a tracker trailer?? and they sold clothing and accessories, and they had demo rides of the 14RT's, they had a very large movie screen, saw a movie, and a light show( spyders with lights) , light show, prizes for the people, Food, plus we stopped @ Pitbulls to visit and buy things. They also had 1 or 2 host hotels. 1 of the hotels they had farewell party. ( Friday night)

Mogang or Lamont, or Lenny I don't want to be stepping on your shoes. Deanna

[FRKSHO]

Wow - I'm confused !!! :dontknow:

Mogang or Lamont, or Lenny I don't want to be stepping on your shoes. DeannaI agree with Deanna (even though she types so tiny)!!!! There is no reason BRP should NOT be there. It's just "down the road" for them - not half way across the country. There is no event in the Northeast or Central Atlantic region that BRP attends, as far as I know. Spyderquest would be perfect for them. Their presence would also attract other venders. There are also no other vender attended event in the NE or Central Atlantic that I know of.

But, that said, if you are going to attract BRP and additional venders, then you MUST open the event up for more than 200 registrants. I understand about the rides filling up. When the rides are full, they are full. That's a safety and manpower issue - no problem. But folks should still be able to come and enjoy other events, meet other Spyder owners, and shop with the venders.

Another thing that the committee might want to consider are workshops - sponsored and conducted by venders and local dealers. That will also attract additional owners for the venders. While some people go on rides, others will want to attend the workshops.

That's my 2 cents worth of advice. (Well, it may be more like 6 cents worth. Sorry.) ;)

[FRKSHO]

Thanks so much ! We worked really hard and it's nice to hear that people had fun and want to come back. :dg2:

[eagleeye299]

Just to clear up a little confusion here. There was no limit on the number of people that could register, in fact we had 261 people. The on limit was up until when you could register, this was because of the lead time to get the T-Shirts made. You could come and go to the vendors that were there even if you were not registered. We are not stopping any vendor or manufacture from coming. We would like more to come. Again it's an economic decision on the vendors part.

[kawakii]

I'd be happy to volunteer to help. I live in NH but I'm great at organizing, could help contact vendors, etc...

We will definitely be back next year - this time with our Spyder and Indian Scout. We have decided to keep our Spyder one more season then make a change to another Spyder, Harley Trike, slingshot, ...or ?

We had a great time even without our Spyder - great people and a lot of fun.

Nicole & Jake

We (Val & Dwight) will definitely be back next year. Met lots of folks & made new friends. This was Val's first event & she loved it. Even riding in the rain on Saturday, she was game to go for it. Dinner cruise was great - AWESOME sunset. Food was lousy. I know that the committee is working on that (even they thought it was lousy). Maybe a seafood offering for those of us who are not carnivores? AND..wait for it...maybe the97036 will be back!!:yes::yes: Looking forward to SpyderQuest 2015!!:clap::thumbup:

Another thing that I received a few day ago is a CD picture set of 5, that Grandme Ziggy made up of last years (2014) Spyderquest and if you filled out the address part of your form last year, will receive at no cost. That is about 2.5 hours of fun and you should be in the mail soon, thanks to grandma Ziggy. Another one of the reasons Spyderquest is the best, the people. :thumbup:

Tic Toc, Tic Toc :yes::yes::yes:

[Bob Denman]

Oh Bob, no pressure.

No worries: I've got this! :2thumbs:

[Deanna777]

I hope so. Vendors are important. It shouldn't be hard to find more venders as SpyderQuest seems to be the only event on the East Coast that has vendors at all. And there are LOTS of Spyder owners here in the East that have cash to spend. http://www.robmorgan.net/img-sm/free-random-smileys-214.gif

I would like to see more vendors AND the website vender list should be kept up to date at all times as vendors commit. This year the vendor list was not complete, and while I was waiting for the list to fill in, the registration period expired and no more registrations were accepted. So I guess I learned my lesson. :( I'll be registering earlier for the next one. But more vendors, and a "real time" vendor list are important to participants and vendors, IMHO, because that will attract more folks who want to do business with the vendors that attend.When Mike and I go up riding, we only see 5 or 6 spyders, Where are the spyders owners in New England????? We go riding in New Hampshire. Deanna

[oldguyinTX]

I'll be watching at noon tomorrow.:thumbup::thumbup::clap::clap:

Can't wait to see the dates so a new spyder Ryder can go!!!!

[Cleg]

:ohyea::clap:We have been working to get the show off the ground. :chat::chat::yes::banghead: :gaah::cus::thumbup: You get the picture. All the work for all the fun certainly is worth it. In this day, volunteerism seems to be dwindling, so for all you who want to get involved in rides or what ever, think seriously about volunteering. We can use all the help we can get! Thanks for thinking about it. As Spydaman says send us a PM and we will :chat: about and get you involved. Thanks to all!!!

May take a little detour at Napanoch and ride up along the western shore of the Rondout Reservoir. I hear there are sometimes some very strange goings on up near the top of that big pond. :rolleyes: (Of course you can't believe everything you hear. ;) )

Bob Is this the same weekend as the Hot Rod Nationals in Lake George?Yes it is, well almost, it's called the Adirondack Nationals, but the same idea on the weekend. I'm really looking forward to this and being just south of exit 20 in Queensbury with our base of operations keeps us away for the most part, this event, yet those who would like, can enjoy. Kind of like the balloonfest 2 years ago. Remember that the group rate is only for Spyder Quest registrants and this year we have a way of checking.

We're booked in too! :yes::yes:

This may be a stupid question? Do you have to stay at one of the hotels to be registered for all the festivities? I camp about 15 minutes from lake George so don't want to spend on hotel but want to go to as much as possible

Gentlemen,

Just booked GEL for next year. They said however that there were no rooms for Sept. 8. They said if the Spyderquest group contacted them for more rooms they might be able to do so. We and maybe some others are coming a long way and would like to arrive a day early if possible. Can you help us out? Really looking forward to our 3rd Quest. Thanks,

[NoLmtz]

Check the weather for your gear selection. Book hotel early. If you want some farkles see if you can wait for the event and book early with vendors to get then done! Figure out how you're going to take pictures - I.e. Passenger taking them or like I did, I had my camera mounted on handle bars with thumb trigger. And lastly, no matter what happens bring a smile - it's amazing scenery and even in last year's rain I was amazed at the beauty. It's an awesomely arranged event and you will have a blast.

Me too, we had a great weekend. Beautiful country and a great, friendly group of riders. I'd be game for another trip down to PA in the spring.

But.... there is almost nothing compared to the Adirondacks in September !! SpyderQuest 2015 !!

Also stay tuned to this site for information on Spyderquest or pm Randy Arntufun ( see his Avatar Slingshot) Next years Spyderquest will be my 3rd one. Deanna Deanna, Randy has stepped to the sideline for this year and the rest of the Spyderquest team is moving forward to make the event even better than ever. It is hard to make the best event in the country even better, but already there are some major improvements to the event, one of which is that the vendors will be there the entire time, (Wednesday to Sunday) and others I will release at a later date and some in the works. Randy will be missed, but fortunately we are set up as a pending not for profit group that has bylaws and elections, so it is easy to move forward, however a tough pair of shoes to fill. Randy will be missed, but maybe he will lead a ride or something else, his call at some point.

Just booked the GEL for Sept. 9 to 12, this is my first post and will be our first Spyder Event and the longest planned trip taken on our spyder to date. We have a 2014 RTS, purchased in April of 2014. We managed to put 5,280 km on this passed summer and looking for new adventures for next year. :yes:The 6 inches of snow outside makes the riding season seam a long way off, so what better way to pass the time but to plan a road trip for next year! We will be registering for Spyderquest as soon as the registration forms are available.

Nothing just yet...

[rogerb]

Just a suggestion Bob. I go to a rally up in Nova Scotia called The Bluenose Rally every Fourth of July. One of the awards they give out is a plaque for The Most Represented Club. You mentioned that there are several clubs going to Spyderquest. It would be a way of thanking them for coming as a club. Maybe in the future it would be fun to see the clubs compete for attendance awards.

[rnet]

I think we would have to Disqualify the New York Spyder Riders, but I do like the idea.

I will be there---looking forward to meeting some new riders.
