Spyderquest 2013 *****Official Thread*****

[spydaman60]

go to the first few posts on this thread and you will see a spot to click on for the registraion. yes there are fees associated with some of the rides and yes there is a registration fee, but that includes barbeque, tee shirt, rides etc. we will be having a farkle bingo etc. come on and join the fun!!!

 

[rnet]

We are considering Spyderquest. I have NOT read all 130 something post but is there a fee associated with the meet itself? Not including the already mentioned park entry, meals and lodging. And, how do we register if we do plan to go. It'll be about 300 smyles to get there and I don't think we can make the whole weekend but we are thinking about it...

The opening day on Thursday includes entry into LGRV park all day, the BBQ, farkle bingo, and a shirt if you are registered.

Not too long ago....... the only event in the Northeast put on by another website was cancelled. After much thought and some encouragement from Lamont, a few of us deceided to take the bull by the horns and create a Northeast event of our own. This is how Spyderquest was born. :thumbup:


This will be the thread to find all the information you will need to know about this event filled Spyder gathering. We will provide as many details as we can as we nail them down in hopes to show you that this event should not be missed by anyone. We hope to make this Spyderquest a little different from the rest to provide change to others that attend multiple events each year.

To be completly honest we do not have the manpower, experience or sponsorship (as of today), but if you look at our itinerary you should be quite pleased with what's in store for you. I personally promise to work as hard as possible on this, you have my word (as well as my fellow NY Spyder Riding family).

Itinerary may/will be adjusted as needed, so check back often.

Thursday September 19th

Opening day ceremony- Lake George RV Park- http://www.lakegeorgervpark.com/


After your ride into Lake George from your home, we will be gathering at the best RV park I have ever had the pleasure of going to. This RV park will also be the host RV Campground for Spyderquest (sorry, no tent sites). We have rented the Bingo pavilion which holds hundreds and will provide cover if mother nature decides to throw us a curve ball. You are invited to arrive early and use all the parks amenities all day long which includes an indoor heated pool, so dont forget your trunks and towel.

Whiteface Mt ride and Hot Air Balloon Festival


This will be our large guided group ride (Rnet,Cleg) through some of the beautiful Adirondack Mountains and will wind up back in Queensbury, NY later that day to attend the Adirondack Balloon Festival. This ride will include the price for Whiteface MT ride will be on the registration form. Bring your camera, because you will have mountain views for miles and miles at over 4800 feet ASL. A elevator is on site for those that do not want to walk. (Like me) LOL

While at the Balloon Festival you will be able to see 80+ hot air ballons take off at 5pm (if the weather permits). This is absolutely a breath taking site to see. Food vendors and a craft fair will also be on location to satisfy all your needs. Admission is free, parking is a donation.

Casino, Rides and Dinner Cruise Day


This closing day is jam packed with things to do. Eat breakfest, fill up with fuel and we will ride to the Saratoga Casino and Raceway by 10 am to try our luck for a couple of hours. This place has over 1500 slots, video roulette, poker and craps.

At 12pm we will gather to have a buffet lunch right in the casino (Garden Buffet) before we head out on a short Sacandaga lake ride located at the base of the Adirondacks. Price for lunch is $12.95 per person paid at the Casino (all you can eat and drink).

If you do not wish to go to the Casino, there will be a separate longer ride to take a tour of historic Fort Ticonderoga. This fort has a lot of history including four attacks during the Revolutionary War. This ride is lead by Rnet and Cleg. Price for admission to the Fort will be on the registration form.


After our ride we saved the best event for last..................
At 530 pm we will start boarding Lake George's biggest ship to take over a two hour dinner cruise on beautiful Lake George. Dinner will be buffet style with main courses being fish, chicken, pasta and a meat carving station among many sides. Tickets can be purchased for $43.50 and will need to be included on your registration form. Parking directly across from the ship is $10.00....... So, if you want to find another place to park in the village, by all means do.

Thanks for the Question.......... at first it was going to be a pay as you go event, but came to the conclusion to pay up front to make things a little smoother for everyone that attends so you are not held up in long lines at each place we go. :thumbup: Sorry for the confusion.........
