When I first got into riding motorcycles, I loved every moment—the wind in my face, the freedom on the open road, the sense of being present in the moment. After riding for years on two wheels, both a cruiser and an adventure bike, I started to notice something. The more I moved into rural southeastern Ohio, the more hesitant I became about riding. Those steep hills and winding roads started to mess with my confidence. Then, I found my solution: a 2021 Can-Am Spyder RT. Three wheels gave me the stability I needed, and it reignited my passion for the road. Fast forward two years, and I’m riding more now than ever.

It turns out I’m not alone in my love for the Can-Am Spyder. Across the U.S., Can-Am Spyder events are popping up everywhere, and they're attracting riders like me—those who still crave the thrill of the ride but prefer a bit more stability and control. From Deadwood to SpyderQuest, Can-Am bike events have become a growing trend, and they are pulling together a community of riders who share a love for three-wheeled machines. Let's dive into some of the most popular Can-Am events and why they’re worth checking out if you're a Spyder rider or just curious about this ever-growing scene.

SpyderQuest: The New York Event You Can’t Miss

One of the biggest and most talked-about Can-Am events is SpyderQuest. Held every year in Lake George, New York, this event has become a must-attend for Spyder riders from all over the U.S. and even Canada. Why is it so popular? For starters, the event is set against the stunning backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains. The scenic routes alone make the trip worth it.

But what really sets SpyderQuest apart is the variety of activities and rides it offers. There are guided tours through winding mountain roads, skill challenges, and even social gatherings for those of us who enjoy hanging out with fellow riders after a day of adventure. Think of it as summer camp for adults, but with more horsepower and leather. There's something special about seeing a sea of Can-Am Spyders cruising down the highway in formation—it’s like a rolling family reunion, and everyone's invited.

I attended SpyderQuest last year, and it was an eye-opener. The event had me meeting people from all walks of life, with one thing in common: a passion for the Spyder. From seasoned bikers to newbies just getting their feet wet (or their wheels turning), SpyderQuest had it all. Even if you’re not into big gatherings, the camaraderie alone makes this event worth experiencing.

Deadwood Three-Wheel Rally: A Sturgis Alternative

For those who enjoy a little bit of history with their rides, there’s no better place than Deadwood, South Dakota. Known for its Wild West roots, this town hosts the Deadwood Three-Wheel Rally, a gathering designed for three-wheeled vehicles like the Can-Am Spyder. This event offers the perfect combination of thrilling rides and historic charm.

Now, I’ll admit—when I first heard about Deadwood, I thought it was just for the Harley crowd. But once I rolled into town on my Spyder, I realized the community was much more inclusive. From trikes to Spyders, three-wheeled bikes are the stars of the show here. The best part? You get to ride through the beautiful Black Hills, with stops at places like Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park.

If you’ve ever done Sturgis and found it overwhelming, Deadwood offers a slightly tamer—but equally thrilling—alternative. Plus, there’s something undeniably cool about parking your Spyder next to an old saloon and soaking in the historic vibes.

Spyder, Bike, and Trike Fest: A Unique Blend of Bikes

Over in Texas, the Spyder, Bike, and Trike Fest is another growing event that brings together three-wheeled enthusiasts of all types. Hosted in Deland, Florida, this festival is a melting pot of Spyders, trikes, and even traditional two-wheeled bikes. What makes this event stand out is the sheer diversity of riders who show up. You might see a hardcore Harley rider next to someone on a decked-out Spyder, and everyone gets along just fine.

The event features custom bike shows, group rides, and live music, making it a fun experience whether you’re there to show off your ride or just soak in the scene. One of the highlights is the organized ride through local Florida, where you get to experience the open road without the stress of navigating unfamiliar terrain.

This event is perfect if you're looking for a festival atmosphere where everyone is welcome—no matter what kind of bike they ride. The mix of Spyders, trikes, and traditional motorcycles creates a unique dynamic that’s both inclusive and exciting.

The Can-Am Community: A Growing Family

One thing that’s struck me about the rise of Can-Am events is the sense of community that comes with them. There’s something special about rolling up to an event and knowing that everyone there shares your passion for three wheels. It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned rider or someone who just traded in their two-wheeler for a Spyder—there’s a place for you in this community.

For me, riding a Can-Am Spyder has become more than just a way to get back on the road; it’s connected me with a whole new group of riders who understand the thrill of cruising on three wheels. Events like SpyderQuest, the Deadwood Three-Wheel Rally, and the Spyder, Bike, and Trike Fest offer a place where this growing community can come together, celebrate their rides, and enjoy the open road.
