    Default If I could only go to ONE Spyder event, what should it be?

    Hi all!

    I love road trips and take them (on 2, 3 or 4 wheels) whenever possible. But time and money are sometimes limited and it seems like most Spyder events are NOT in Western Washington so... if I was to choose one long distance event this year, what would you recommend?

    I know there's Spyderfest and I am still not clear as to what goes on there (besides visiting vendors but those don't appeal to me as much right now because my budget won't allow me to farkle my ride). There's Spyders in the Ozarks... whatever other events there are, I'd love to hear what you would recommend and mainly WHY

    Thanks!

    Spyderfest is the largest in the country, it is supported by the #1 Dealer in the country, and it is more about the camaraderie than the vendors, we have parties, rides, racing events, BBQ's, Secret pie runs, and much more.

    If you want to see the most spyders and the most things do to their Spyders and meet a great group of fun loving folks..................... Come to Spyderfest.

    There is more to spyderfest than just the vendors. & great views at right time of year fyi. My first fest last yr proved quite the trip. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1453508601.220994.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1453508634.887574.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1453508664.971026.jpgsome of my better backdrops from that trip. Seeing all the spyders ,meet &greet all I couldImageUploadedByTapatalk1453508799.503633.jpg was my fun. Vendor farkle was nice but controlling budget wasn't. The poker/passport run had many great locations to revisit. Im hoping the biker awareness ride times out again ImageUploadedByTapatalk1453509035.237372.jpg. Was good extra 80m loop for me. & more spyders fyi i live closer to spyders on the bayou but my timing was off as I was just coming back from a wild hair trip to Key west FL (ALSO GREAT) want to do more & more FARKLES

    Default SPYDER EVENT

    I rode to the Deadwood, SD 3 wheel rally last July. It was awesome riding in the Black Hills. If you have never been to that part of the US, it is beautiful.

    How far do you want to go? Closest to you would the Red Rock Rally in late September and the furthest would likely be Spyderquest in NY, also in September. All Spyder events have one thing in common, great folks riding Spyders. So pick an event that is located in a place you want to go to and go, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

    Thanks to all for the replies. I'm game to ride to NY or wherever! I just can't count on being able to do multiple long distance trips this year (might happen, but I am not holding my breath) so I want to choose the destination carefully

    Well, I went ahead and registered for Spyderfest. What the heck, maybe I'll still be able to do one more big outing later in the year... other suggestions still welcome!

    We usually only get to do 1 Spyder event each year and we always choose Spyderquest. It is the one closest to us but the real reason is the scenery on the rides. Spyderquest is all about the rides and the organizers do a fantastic job of it. You won't be disappointed.

    A very wise choice! A good place to meet up with a diverse selection of charming people who have one thing in common!
    If you don't have too much money it's not a problem! The vendor village, which is under cover, is a great place to just chat to folk.
    I'll look forward to meeting you there.

    So many Rallies; So little time and money...

    I've hit " 'Fest and 'Quest" so far...
    Both are great; just in different ways!

    And that's no, "SpyderJest"!
