SpyderQuest 2014 ** Dates and Official Host Hotel Info **

[bscrive]

CaptainSFC,

Just like Ron said. The events are 1200 miles apart and the other dates were already taken. Maybe moving it to August is a solution in the future but for next year that is a mute point. August does sound nice Ron and Randy but I guess that is still prime vacation time and deals are hard to get.

That being said, I know that for myself and my wife we would not travel that distance to an event since my wife does not get very many days vacation each year.

May see you on the way there, we are just across the river from you guys, I work in Ottawa. But won't hijack this post, I will PM you sometime.

DATES DATES DATES

No. We just changed our dates for 2013 so as not to cause a problem. We posted our date for 2014 right after Spyder Quest 2013 so as not to be in conflict with Spyder Quest 2014. Were we sent a PM concerning our posted 2014 dates? No. If September weather is an issue then maybe August would be better? We have chosen the second Weekend following Labor Day for Spyder Palooza, as a yearly themed event. Is this going to be a conflict every year? For us the date is very important because we are putting on a 9/11 TRIBUTE for our fallen.

I guess i am just disappointed that the courtesy normally experienced within the Spyder community is lacking when it comes to event planning. Maybe we need a Calendar on the forum? That would be a great.

SFC, don't get your pants /panties / or what ever in a bind about this ......I DIDN'T PICK ANY DATES WHATSOEVER.........That being said The Lake George area ( where SpyderQuest is held ) is a Tourist Mecca until LABOR DAY....you can't book any events prior to Labor Day everything is booked solid and you can't even get a room.........The NY Spyder Riders did the best they could and I'm sure You people did the Best you could SO LETS ALL BE FRIENDS............................PLEASE.................... hyea: :2thumbs: :clap: :yes: :agree:.......Mike :thumbup:

Thanks for the info and the great rates! We are booked. We had a lot of fun at the 2013 event and are very much looking forward to the 2014 Spyderquest!

#1 Spyderquest was the first event created and posted for the month of September. PERIOD !!!!!!!!
#2 Spyderquest showed enormous amounts of class last year by not posting how disrespectful you were for creating a event knowing darn well we already launched ours in the same month. We sat back and never said a word to you about it.

Do you think because it was moved a week before ours that it made it ok to step on another event ??????? Knowing Spyderquest was already being put on in September, IMO showed no class on your part and now more of your true colors are showing posting in this thread trying to make us out to be the bad guy. I will stand by no longer and watch you turn this thread upside down with your insinuations that we are stepping on your event. Even Stevie Wonder could see it's the other way around.

Please be respectful and stop posting in this thread.

No need for the hostility. I was not being hostile. If I did Come across as hostile I apologize. Also, I do apologize if I misunderstood event etiquette. I am new to Spyders as i have only had my Spyder a bit over a year and didn't understand. My first event was Spyder Fest and was simply blown away by a very well organized event and wondered why there were not more. I didn't realize that an event scheduled in a particular month meant that was the only event that was to be scheduled for that month. we posted our dates 2 months ago for out themed event. Spyder Quest a few days ago. I will speak to the other Spyder Palooza organizers about the one event per month rule so as to minimize any future conflicts. Ii still think an event calendar would be good. I am sure, and hope, as the Spyder community grows, the number of events will increase so a schedule would be a great way to avoid these types of problems. From what I see here the max number of events is 12 per year or 1 per month. Besides, as we have seen with the Spyder Fest, Spyder Palooza and Spyder Quest, the need to schedule each event early is important.

Also, I completely understand the resort area thing. I live in a resort area myself and know the pitfalls of scheduling anything during tourist season.

There are plenty of Ryder's for both events. My concern is the vendors. Splitting vendors would be a injustice to both events.

I am done posting on this thread. I can be reached by PM or even a phone call @ 5734294976 if anyone would like to yell at me. Been married 25 years so I am used to it! Haha.

Have a great event and if it is. It to early... Have a great holiday season!

P.s. Wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. I was just trying to get across the significance of the date to our theme for the event. One thing we do around here is have regular rides/events for Vets and First Responders.

Randy,
Did you announce the dates this early to show the Mo-Gang how it's done in New York?

We did so you would be able to find a dog sitter. Then you will be able to treat your wife to the Spa at the host Hotel/Resort

 

[bscrive]

I don't know about anyone else but it would be super cool to have a Spyder event going on in every part of the US and Canada at the same time. Just think of the coverage we would get.

More events the merrier.

Booked and ready for a great time

We missed last year's event but not going to let that happen again. We are booked for the September 11-14 and can't wait for the fun to begin. It's going to be a long winter but at least we have a great season of events to look forward to.

yes, you will need to register, but it will not be most likely till spring. We have just started to work on a web site that will make it easier for everyone, we hope. We will post when things are ready. Thanks Ron :thumbup:
