[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.

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

Thanks for letting me know you are a girl. It's hard to tell with all the feathers.

Let me know if I can help you with this project.

There will be atleast 4 of us from the Raleigh area staying at the Micro-tel Inn as well. We will be arriving on Wednesday.

Reservations at the Microtel. Sounds like your getting the particulars all tied down. Thanks for your efforts.

[armyspydervet]

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

Might be inclined to take a ride down I95.

Let me know if you're going. I wouldn't mind getting all or some of the East Coast Posse back together for this event.

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.

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. 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!

[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!

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

[CanAmMick]

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

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.

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