Another year, another successful event!! The 7th Annual Western Regional Can-Am Spyder Rally in Southern Utah (Red Rock Spyder Rally) welcomed nearly 300 ryders to this year’s event along with over a dozen vendors. A HUGE thank you to all of the volunteers and vendors at this event, it cannot be done without you!!!
If you haven’t yet heard, it was announced during the farewell banquet that the event coordinator for the Western Regional Can-Am Spyder Rallies will be taking 2018 off to recharge and plan a bigger and better event in 2019!!!
The Western Regional Can-Am Spyder Rallies will be expanding yet again for the 2019 rally season with another new venue and event (no name for the event yet). Motorcycling adventure clothing and riding gear manufacturer, KLIM, has offered use of their facility for the 2019 event. KLIM is located approximately 10 minutes north of Idaho Falls, ID, which will play host to the 8th Annual Western Regional Can-Am Spyder Rally in 2019.
The Idaho Falls area will allow for visitors to explore the Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, WY, Craters of the Moon National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. We are super excited about this new event!!
In the meantime, check out the Deadwood Three Wheeler Rally in South Dakota to be held July 10th to 15th in 2018. Dates for the 2019 event are tentatively set for August 27 – 30, 2019. Host hotel(s) and event info will be posted once available.
Hope you all have a safe and joyous New Year and riding season in 2018, and hope to see you all at Deadwood in 2018, and then at our 2019 event!! Spyder on!!!!

Since our begining in 2011 Spyder of America has always had a large number of lady ryders as members and officers, but did you know we also have two Ladies National Chapters? We have both an western region (based in Sacramento CA) and an eastern region (based in the Metro Washington DC area). Both groups have hosted special Ladies only events to promote ryding among the spyder sisterhood.
Find out more about each chapter at their Facebook pages…..

With nearly 3,000 owners planning to attend the event in Valcourt, Quebec, June 2-4, riders will be coming in from all over North America and beyond. There will be multiple group rides, one of which will take place from Los Angeles to Quebec, and BRP will have a video crew documenting the entire cross-country adventure. Click here to see that ride route and schedule. Email jen@octofilms.com if you have specific questions about joining.
Help the quest to get as many owners riding together as possible! If you are organizing a different ride to Valcourt, share the information with the Can-Am Spyder team at info-spyderhomecoming@brp.com. BRP will help promote additional rides!
Stay tuned for additional news and also check with your dealer or local owners club to see if there are riders leaving from your area.
In December 2016 Spyder Ryder of America was thrilled to add our newest chapter to the ever growing list of chapters for coast to coast. The new Orange County Chapter is serving the areas of Orange County California and well as the Los Angeles area. They are a VERY active group that loves to ryde. Look them up on Facebook and welcome them to the family.

On October 29th Spyder Ryder of America was very proud to help present a check for $20,000 to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and the Ride for Kids on behalf of Spyder Ryder of America – National and BRP CAN-AM Spyder.
A giant THANKS to everyone that made that possible. Our California chapter members volunteered all summer long to help BRP with their “Do It California” demo ride events. SRA asked BRP to make a donation to our favorite charity, the Ride For Kids to help kids with brain tumors. THANKS to our friends at BRP!
With the help of the Sacramento, San Francisco Bay Area, Inland Empire, Riverside County, Los Angeles and San Diego Chapter we were able to donate nearly $28,000 to help fight and find a cure for Childhood brain tumors.
