From the moment I heard I was going to Los Angeles for the orientation weekend, I dreamed about hopping on the Spyder and riding it back cross country.

In every great story you've ever been told, the hero, some ordinary man or woman leading their day to day existence, receives a call to adventure. Peter Parker gets bit by a radioactive spider. Dorothy gets whisked away by a twister.

Are you getting excited for the upcoming Spyder roadster owners event in the Maggie Valley, North Carolina area June 17-19? Everyone at BRP is, that is for sure! We just wanted to send out a little update with some details now that we are a bit closer to the event.

After BRP’s Spyder Ambassador orientation last weekend, I decided to spend a little more time in Southern California, visiting my mom and riding around with the RT. I went to a local car show in El Cajon.

Whew! Now that I've had a day or two to get work back under control, I thought I'd jump on here and share a few thoughts and photos from the Spyder Ambassador trip to LA last weekend. Here are my top 5 words to describe how I feel about this incredible trip.

For the two newest Can-Am Spyder Ambassadors, Faran and Mickey, the day took forever to arrive. But arrive it did, and last Friday they finally met their fellow ambassadors Fred, Daniel and Lamonster at the ambassador orientation in Los Angeles. The weekend that followed was a nonstop adrenaline rush.

A couple of weeks ago we launched another installment of our popular Facebook photo contest. We asked riders to submit their favorite pictures of their Can-Am Spyder roadsters. Congratulations to Mary and Fred Collis from Whitesboro, New York, for their winning photo submission.

If any of you have been hired for a dream job that did not start immediately or were engaged to be married or found out your family was pregnant with your first child, then you know what I mean about waiting.

Daniel Zavalza shared how his Spyder helps him on a daily basis to relax from the stresses in everyday life; something that we all could share. We had a chance to speak with Daniel and ask him some more questions about his experiences as a Spyder rider.
