The fifth annual Spyders in the Redwoods event was dedicated in the loving memory of Sandy O'Brien, a dear friend that was struck and killed on his Can-Am Spyder in November 2014 by a distracted driver on a San Francisco Bay Area freeway. A moment was had for Sandy and a coin was dedicated to be given to his family.

A moment was had for Sandy and a coin was dedicated to be given to his family.
The fifth incarnation of the Spyders in the Redwoods event has come to a close. The event went smoothly and welcomed over 200 Spyder riders and enthusiasts to visit the beautiful Northern California redwood coast.
Day one consisted primarily of riders arriving from all over, including places as far away as Kentucky, Iowa, Kansas, and Florida. Riders arrived, picked up their t-shirts, pins, and other goodies, visited one of eight on-site vendors such as Squared Away LLC, Sue Hopper's Signs & Wonders, Venus Motorcycles, and Mickey's Spyder Webbings.
We also had Spyder Games and a Custom Spyder Contest to raise money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The first evening, riders gathered in the event hall and broke the ice with a reception and raffle to welcome all to the event.
Day two consisted of more vendor activity, more riders arriving, and group rides to places such as Avenue of the Giants, Chandelier Drive Thru Tree, and the Oregon Coast. In the second evening, riders once again gathered in the hall to enjoy delectable sweet treats including an ice cream bar and chocolate fountain, followed by another raffle.
Day three consisted of yet more vendor activity, including the addition of SpyderLyter, and more group rides down to the Avenue of the Giants and up to the Trees of Mystery to visit Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe.

In the evening of day three, riders gathered once last time in the event hall to talk about the rides of the day, the beautiful artwork that was painted on their Spyders by Sue Hopper, and visit with friends. The riders enjoyed a catered banquet, participated in the third raffle of the event, applauded the awards given out to volunteers, and awaited the drawing for the Can-Am Spyder RS donated by Elk Grove Powersports to the Spyder Ryder of America Ladies National Chapter as a way to raise money for charity. The winner, Matt Hoyt, however, was not among the group in the hall.
At the end of the banquet, closing statements were made by the Master of Ceremonies, Katlyn "SpyderGirl" Gommerman, and announcements were made regarding the future of the event. An additional event in Southern Utah was announced to take the place of Spyders in the Redwoods for at least one to two years as a way to give riders a new location to gather.
Volunteers are currently working on details surrounding the Red Rock Spyder Rally event to be held sometime in September 2016 in St George, UT. The Spyders in the Redwoods event is currently set to alternate years with this event with the next one planned for August 2018.

Second Annual Spyders in the Redwoods was another hit!!
Due to popular demand, the Spyders in the Redwoods event was expanded from 2011 to four days this year. Nearly 150 riders and over 90 Spyders converged once again on the former California capitol of Eureka, CA - a Victorian town of history nestled on the ocean and surrounded by the redwoods of the California coast. Riders arrived as far away as Missouri. Cloudy and grey skies hung over the coastal city, however there was plenty of smiles and sunshine to be had in the parking lot at the Red Lion Inn Eureka as riders eagerly shopped at the vendor table, picked up their pins, patches, and t-shirts, and greeted old friends from last year. Monday evening, riders gathered at the historic Samoa Cookhouse for a group meal, starting the 2012 event where the 2011 event left off.
On Tuesday, riders gathered in the parking lot and headed out on one of two organized group rides for the day that ranged in distance between 180 and 225 miles and included scenic rides through the Avenue of the Giants, Humboldt State Park, and Trinity State Park. After sharing a ride, riders shared a meal and/or drinks at on-site and nearby restaurants.
On Wednesday, riders gathered once more in the parking lot and headed out on a different organized group ride that were around 100 miles each and included a ride up the coast through the lagoons along U.S. 101, the elk viewing area near Trinidad, another ride along Avenue of the Giants, and a meal at the Victorian Inn in historic downtown Ferndale. Festivities were concluded Wednesday evening with a group banquet at the Red Lion Inn that included a raffle, karaoke, music, and dancing. By Thursday morning the parking was emptying quickly as riders headed home, eager for next ride.
Plans for the third annual Spyders in the Redwoods event in 2013 is already underway. Dates and venue information to be announced on here and on Facebook in the coming months. Thank you to all who attended and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Bring a friend or two!! Happy Spydering!!
