Anyone looking for something other then hotel in the Lake Placid area, might want to check out : http://www.adkbyowner.com/search/Vacation-Rentals.html

Some good deals on houses and cabins to rent. Allows you to stay longer a little cheaper if interested Might be good for people looking to split costs as well -- well for those who don't do outdoor camping or want a hotel.

I'll definitely be going seeing that I grew up in that part of the country but I won't be staying in Saranac Lake or Lake Placid because they think they're renting to royalty with a huge treasure chest...I'll be staying over towards Watertown or somewhere in Lewis county where rates are reasonable and drive to the activities which is about 75-80 miles...You not only save money, but you get a better room or campground and then get to drive over to the festivities thru some of the most georgeous country setting in the country...It's amazing to me that when BRP sets up these rally's they always do it somewhere where you're gonna get charged an arm and a leg to attend...A lot of people can't afford to attend after spending huge amounts on BRP accessories...Myself...I'd rather camp along a nice mountain river, fish for some trout, have a nice campfire, fire up the Spyders and ride over to the festivities and still have money to grill some nice porterhouse steaks when we return to the campsite at the end of the day. Am I a simple guy guy?...Yuppers...but I'm not a tourist to the Adirondacks...I grew up there......I'll probably be camping on a river in Lewis county if anybody wants to join up with us...

Totallly agree that some of the hotels in the Lake Placid/Sarnac Lake or Lake George hotels/motels are way overpriced. It's why we chose to rent a house instead of getting a hotel. We rented for 8 nights/7 days nights for 850.00 in Jay which is about 25 minutes away from Main St. Lake Placid-- great drive by Whiteface on the way there. Lol, I don't camp so this is the best option for us-- being paraplegic in a wheelchair camping just isn't my cup of tea. This way we have a place to cook our own food, have friends over, and brings our fur-kids with us. Just bring the two dogs with us saves us 450.00 on boarding them for a week ( 25.00 per dog).

Jenny & I are looking forward to attending. We are vacationing in Cincinatti for the summer so it will be a fun week of riding. We are staying at KOA about ten miles from Lake Placid.
Anyone who would like to share the site can PM me. We have reservations for 8/8-8/12 at $34 a night. We are camping in a Aspen Classic so should be room for another pop up or tent camper. :yes::yes::yes:

 

[epiphysis]

we are staying at the primary hotel, Wildwoods on the Lake......I dont have time to shop around......I'm actually leaving for a 9 day trip to New Orleans on my other ride, my VTX 1300......and then may go to Laconia bike week with my son.........looking forward to the ride there and to meeting everyone.....anyone going from Ohio?? let me know!

 

[pro10is]

I'm planning on going. Missed it last year because I had just purchased my Spyder and didn't know which end was up yet. Now that I've figured that out I'm up for trips! :yes:

You not only saved money...you did a good deed...The economy in upstate NY, especially in the Adirondacks are terrible..They no longer have industries, but they do have some beautiful territory and those who have the houses that they rent out during tourist season benefit from that...:clap:

We love the Adirondacks ! Has some of the best riding and we get to just relax. Gives us an excuse to just sit out on the porch or in front of a bonfire, relax, or go explore on the Spyder. I can't wait to get caramel popcorn at The Adirondack Popcorn company

Talked to Bob at Spydertalk.com yesterday and they are inviting vendors to participate at Spyders in the Adirondacks. I volunteered to help send the invitations to vendors since it was only him working on that part of the event.

I am hoping that some of the vendors except the inviations because it'd be great to be able to see everything in person

 

[SpyderRider]

Jane and I will be attending. We'll tow both Spyders up and tour the area. :doorag:

 

[Papa]

Looking for anyone in the general Chicago area that wants to ryde together out there.
