Smoky Mountain rally 2016 - NEW MANAGEMENT

[SpyderDuck]

Hi everyone!

Just to let you know, the Smoky Mountain rally 2016 will be October 6-9 in Maggie Valley, NC. The festival grounds have been reserved already. As you know from past BRP owners events, we will have plenty of space for parking and vendors. Vendors, if you are interested, please contact us; we think you will be very pleased.

Also, as most of you know, there have been some concerns with the previous promoter of this rally. Now, the rally is being planned by one of our own, known here as Catniption, and the previous promoter is not involved at all. Everything is in the beginning stages right now, but we wanted you all to have a heads up on it, so you can plan your vacation time.

She is working on host hotels and other arrangements, a Facebook page, and a website. Me? Well, I'm just standing by to help as needed. It's all new to us, so please be patient. We hope to have a great rally!

[Trbayth]

So what's the weather like in that part of NC in early October?

Might be inclined to take a ride down I95.

[goat232]

I am glad the date has been moved to early Oct. so that will not be as cold.Plus there being a lot more motels that will be a plus. I plan on being there again this year .:spyder2::yes::yes::yes:

[Larry rt]

I will add this to my Callander. Keep us updated, when you have additional details. :clap::clap::yes::yes::thumbup:

I will definitely be there! We will be there in June for our annual m109 pre-meet, but the wife will be going with me in October. I am already excited!

[GeorgiaBill]

Only 178 miles via US74 and a really nice, scenic ride.

Spyder rider checking in from Duluth, GA! I am also in the North GA Wind Cruisers meet up group... looking forward to more news on this and will plan on going! Should be fun to meet some fellow spyders :)

Made reservations today at the A HOLIDAY MOTEL across from the event grounds I stay there when i go to maggie valley.

[Roadster Renovations]

Count us in!!

That sounds like a good spot. I'll be there too.

[blacklightning]

I am definitely going to this. I am interested in finding out about the host hotel. Some of the hotels in the area are already being filled up pretty quickly. I hope to make reservations by mid January.

[CarolinaSpyderRyder]

Maggie Valley averages 69 or 70 degrees in the afternoon in early October... and 42 or 43 in the early,early morning right before the sun comes up... perfect riding weather if I ever get my Spyder back from the shop.

[Bike-O-Din]

Booked a room, can't wait.:clap:

[Charlottes Web]

What hotel is everybody booking?

[yellow dog]

Just made reservations at Jonathan Creek Inn.

[Cavman]

I'd stay at The Alamo again as I did in 2013 at the BRP Owner's event.

Will BRP be 'helping out' at this event again in 2016? Is that their game plan for 2016? Several events around the different regions? We know how slow they are about announcing such things.

[Catniption]

Hello everyone! I am very excited about this event, albeit terrified as well! Yes, the festival grounds have been rented. The grounds have water, power, permanent restrooms and tons of space.

Our host hotel will be the Maggie Valley Inn and Conference Center. I believe the rates will be $89 for 3 or more nights and $99 for 2 or less. They will be handling our meal on Saturday at 6 PM, Oct. 8. I have spoken with Alamo hotel also. They have agreed to to be a part of this, but I have not negotiated any prices yet. I will also try to get a few more hotels to give folks some options. Ask for the SpyderAdventures rally group discount.

I am hoping BRP helps me out. I was contacted by a local representative and he has forwarded my information to the corporate office. OF course, you know I won't find out until I am already in panic mode!

So, my plan so far is to cover the expense of the fairgrounds myself. If the vendors are happy, maybe some of them will chip in, but I am not charging them. I will have to charge $35 per person for the dinner. That's what they are charging me and I'm not rich. There's where I'm hoping BRP can help.

I am working on a full website which I am hoping to have finished by the end of January. I do have a Facebook page, although for some reason, people don't seem to be getting my posts. Perhaps people have to "follow" the site instead of "liking" it. I have no idea. I do check the FB site often, so that is the easiest way to get in touch with me.

Thanks to everyone for the support. I promise to try my best. :ohyea:

[Cavman]

ThreeFeet and I are booked at Tha Alamo in the only two single rooms. They ARE pet friendly at The Alamo. That's why I chose them before Stumpy passed back in 2013 for the BRP Owner's event. The place next door is also a nice place to stay according to ThreeFeet. The two motels work with each other.

[ceyer69]

THANK YOU for stepping up and keeping this rally going!! This will be my first Spyder rally so I'm exited! What is the name of the Facebook page so I have another avenue to keep up with updates etc.....

My wife, Carol, and I will be going. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Staying at the Maggie Valley Inn and Conference Center.

If you have never been to Maggie Valley, you should go. It's really a bike friendly town.

The restaurants are great and by city ordinance there are no fast food restaurants allowed in Maggie Valley. The only exception is one Subway sandwich shop.

[trobbins27]

My dad and I will be there!:thumbup: He has a Honda Valkyrie and I will be on my :spyder2: ST-S. We will be at the A Holiday Motel. Can't wait!:yes::ohyea:

[cyclelover63]

Booked at the four seasons...:yes::yes:

[Grandpot]

Trobins:
It's amazing how many people have Valkyries and Spyders. If my wife and I ride two up we will take the RT-S, if we ride single I'll take the Valkyrie and the wife will take the Spyder.

[doug1950]

Need some updates and hotels names for the Oct . event we all what to go just need more imformation :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: :banghead:

[blacklightning]

I will be taking the wife to Biltmore Estates in February. The guys and I have a hotel for our stay in June, but I will be checking it out next month to be sure that it is good enough for the wife. It would be nice to have a name and approx. price for the host hotel (if there is such a thing). There are a load of hotels in the area, and as long as you are on Soco rd., you will be close to the action.

[Cavman]

Any idea when registration for the event will be up and running?

For security reasons, I'm not on Facebook. Will be checking HERE for updates.

[SPQR Spyder]

Hello all. I'm in Sarasota FL, just got my 2015 RT Labor Day weekend and I love it. I am also a MINI Cooper owner, so I do Mini's on the Dragon every year, looking forward to my first Dragon on my Spyder.
So, this event.......will this be a "Dragon" event like I saw you had in previous years? I was looking into trying to get a group of us from down here this way to go up for the rally, however I was thinking about staying in Fontana and traveling a few days, it's only just over an hour, and the ride is great!
Thank you, and looking forward to many events.

BTW.....anyone else on here from down my way? I have done a few events with a Tampa group, great folks, just looking to see if there is anyone around Sarasota as well, as I would like to put something together for a ride once a month maybe together. Thanks everyone.
Ciao,
Eddie C

Hope this helps?

[SPQR Spyder]

I am trying to get others from the Sarasota and Tampa area to come to the event. I just booked Fontana for Tuesday and Wednesday nights of that week; only 5 rooms left this morning!
As I am looking into Maggie Valley, everything is going fast, so also looking into Waynesville and some of the other close-by areas for Thursday night into the weekend.

Side note; my wife's idea of camping is an old Holiday Inn or Days Inn, so.......lol......:joke:
Here's hoping for more from my area.......

We will be trailering the Fat White Chick to Maggie Valley. Not planning to do the Dragon, already been there.

[blacklightning]

I rode into Maggie Valley today. I was hoping to see some snow, but it is in the mid 50's here this weekend. we are actually staying in Asheville to go to Biltmore estates tomorrow, but couldn't resist going in and checking out the valley. if the wife comes in October, we will probably stay at the Ramada, but if she doesn't, I will be at the hearth and home inn.

The web site is up for this event.

I am sure that this will be a great time for everyone.

We will be staying at the Maggie Valley Inn and Conference Center and will have the trailer there until we set up for the event. (http://spyderadventures.com/local-amenities/)
We will be Set up in the Vendor area through Saturday.

[Sonnymerrill]

My wife and I own a cabin in Pigeon Forge TN. It is about an 1 1/2 hour beautiful ride to get to Maggie Valley. We will certainly be there. If anyone is planning on staying in PF on or before the event let me know and I might be able to get another cabin in the same resort we are in. Either way can't wait to meet other Spyder owners!!

[blacklightning]

Well, we finally bit the bullet and made our reservations at the Microtel. There will be 4 couples coming from the Apex/Raleigh area on Wednesday (10/5), and staying until Sunday (10/9). Looking forward to seeing everybody.

[Grandpot]

I left a PM for Spyderduck, but he evidently has not checked this site lately. If anyone knows how to contact him directly, please ask him to check his inbox here.

Thank you.

[Schnauzer]

We are in the gotta go see mode... Debating if going west this fall but this sounds very tempting. We attended the Owners event years back and enjoyed riding the area.. We see where there is power at the event site. we pull a motocamper with the spyder, will staying onsite be an option.

[Bobleach45]

Making plans to be there. My wife doesn't do long rides so I will borrow my friends trailer to take the Spyder on. Going to combine it with a stop in Helen, GA for their month long Octoberfest which everyone tells me is great. This will be my first Spyder meet so I am looking forward to meeting a lot of people there from this forum. ;)

Sorry I have been away. Right now, I'm spending a luxurious week in bed due to illness. We went to Maggie last weekend to make further arrangements. We have a couple more hotels that are offering discounts, and tried the food at the conference center. We are pleased to tell you that the food was great. I hope our dinner will be as well.

Oh, and, uhh... I'm a girl ;)

Is there camping near the rally

[SpyderDuck]

Is there camping near the rally

Yes, there are campgrounds, but we weren't able to negotiate any rates. Busy season, etc... Just check Google maps, and you should find several in the area, and a couple of them are fairly close, as I remember. We can't have camping at the festival grounds.

[SpyderDuck]

Please, all, do remember to RSVP at the SpyderAdventures website. The rally is free; we just need a head count. Some potential vendors want to know about how many people will be there. The more of you that RSVP, the higher headcount we can give the vendors, and the more vendors will come. :clap:

Thanks for your effort in getting this together. I just RSVP and am looking forward to the information. I did not sign up to volunteer yet, as I need to see what the wife's plans for me are:opps:. But I am very familiar with the area and hope to be able to help in any way possible. I will be in touch.
In fact, we are going for a 5 day trip to the area from 6/15-19, and I am actually doing a day trip to the BRP this weekend.

[Stick]

Hope to make it! Got er in my calendar! :thumbup:

[Questions]

Just registered and got a room.

[Catniption]

Catniption here! My apologies, I keep forgetting to check this site. Thank you, SpyderDuck for helping a sister out!

SpyderAdventures has a Facebook page and a website, spyderadventures.com. Links to hotels and such are available there. We already have several folks already signed up. Please register on the website so we can get a good count. BRP is helping by sponsoring part of the event. How much they help depends on registration and attendance, as we do not receive all funding up front.

I would like to thank BRP for their sponsorship and support. I would also like to thank Matthew's Fun Machines for being our host dealer and sponsor. They will have all kinds of merchandise and are hoping to have a technician there as well.

I can't possibly thank the Spyders community enough for the support and encouragement I have received. You are as awesome as the bykes you ryde!:2thumbs:

Please feel free to contact me at regina@spyderadventures.com or on Facebook.

[GeorgiaBill]

Just registered. Thanks

[Hecam17]

Our group is 13 people, 7 bikes, with more thinking hard. Really looking forward to the event. I did the RSVP a couple days ago.

[Brian Kay]

The missus and I are attending Spyder Adventures 2016...only 200 miles from our homestead, so we thought we'd give it a try.

Looking forward to seeing other Spyder Lover's there!!!

Woo-hoo :yes:

....Is anyone staying at the Stonebridge campgrounds ? ? ?.......or do you know anything about them ?????......................Mike :thumbup:

Mike,

We have stayed there many times. It's a nice place. We're planning on staying there again this year. It's only about a hour and half drive from the house. Look forward to meeting everyone.

[SPYD3R]

So what's the weather like in that part of NC in early October?

Might be inclined to take a ride down I95.

I95 is insane... try I81.... takes you tru the Shenandoah Valley, awesome countryside vistas... to Rt.26 south.... mucho better...

[CanAmMick]

We reserved our spot at Stonebridge Campground today. Going to be staying at E12 from the 5th to the 9th. Ready for the fun to begin!

[jcasey]

Just booked the Castlewood. Looking forward to seeing you all. I used to live over in Tennessee so I am familiar with the area. Great riding!!:yes::yes::yes::clap::clap::clap::2thumbs: :2thumbs::2thumbs:

[jcgirouard]

Room is booked. Staying at Castlewood, Maggie Valley...

[SpyderDuck]

Latest update:

We now have t-shirt, dinner tickets, and gremlin bells for sale at SpyderAdventures.com. Dinner tickets are going well, so make sure you order yours as soon as you decide to go.

Due to insurance restrictions (and we were required to get insurance; there was no choice), we can't officially offer rydes. BUT... I don't see why any of you can't meet informally outside the festival grounds gate and make arrangements for our own rydes. Those of you that signed up for a ryde before we knew about this could still meet at your appointed time, just not on the Festival grounds. I'm sure someone will lead; we have lots of ryders with experience in the area :)

The (very) extended weather forecast looks ok so far; hopefully, it will stay that way.

[blacklightning]

Thanks for the work that you are doing with this event. We have about 6-8 people riding down with us on Wednesday (10/5). I will be their unofficial tour guide in the area since my buddy and I have been going for the past 8 years. Because the wife will be with me, I couldn't promise anything as far as volunteering to lead group rides before. But we do have a full day of 200-300 mile trips planned each day. Normally we will get together and discuss where everyone wants to go and what they want to see on the first night there. Then we will schedule a leave time and place. I will probably be posting on the forums each day, when and were we are going. So if anyone wants to come along for the ride, you are more than welcome.
There are probably others that are also familiar with the area, and hopefully they will do the same. That way people will have choices. But either way, from Maggie Valley, you can go in any direction and have an adventure. I can't wait.
BTW, I will be in Maggie Valley the week before this event (9/28-10/1) with some of my 2 wheeled buddies. So we will probably do a pre-ride of all the routes.

[spydaman60]

we just booked for four nights at cross creek rv park. staying at site #28 on the reilly loop! driving in from new jersey. looking forward to meeting all of you! after working with the spyderquest team for four years and putting on that event, this is our way of taking a vacation. thanks for all the work you do!! we sure know what it entails!! :thumbup::thumbup:

[4uising]

You will see our trailer in the Inn and Conference Center Parking lot then down at the Festival Grounds starting either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
