To the curious and doubters, I'll add that I (we) went to my (our) first Spyderfest last year, had to tow a new to me Spyder down there that had been to a local to me dealer for a problem, didn't get fixed by the dealer here. Len's team with some BRP assistance figured out the issue (a combination of issues) but as it was raining and it took a couple tries to get the issue fully resolved, my wife and I ended up taking a couple of the excellent planned rides, in our truck. Great roads in the area, all the planned routes were very scenic, curvy, and hilly, we loved it, even if it was in our truck.
We enjoyed all of MOGang's well planned social events and meals, we got WAY more done on our Spyder in the Vendors village than we imagined, but were so glad that all the vendors were there and could do so much and answer so many of our questions.
The Passport ride was a great way to visit many of the local businesses and attractions, but again, all the curvy roads and hills in the area were just great to be on. We enjoyed our time down there at Spyderfest so much we went back down for Spyders in the Ozarks this past fall. We again visited "The Rock" and I can see how much improved it will be both as a ORV venue and event venue. Worth the ride from Springfield.
But as others have already stated Spyderfest was really about all the fantastic folks you meet there, and most enjoying their Spyders, sharing what they've learned and participating in the WHOLE GROUP event. I might not make it every year, but will be back for sure.
