Camp Pendleton "Buffalo Alley 10k Trail-Run"

This morning was great, I was up early and looking forward to a nice run. Using the convenient trunk in the front of the Can-Am Spyder, I was able to load up all my running gear along with some Spyder media and be on my way in no time. I was headed over fifty miles up the coast to the North end of Camp Pendleton near San Onofre for the "Buffalo Alley 10k Run". The ride up was amazing, what a beautiful area that was with plenty of breathtaking sights. I was so happy to be SpyderRyding...

When I arrived I managed to land a parking spot right next to the end of the Start/Finish chute. I stuck around a few to answer questions from event spectators and loaded up the vehicle with a few SpyderSanDiego.com cards and booklets as well. This "trail run" was shaping up to be a lot of fun. After that I threw my shoes on and headed out on the course. Friends on the race staff let me know that there were a good number of people checking out this awesome piece of three-wheeled technology as they waited for their athletes to come in. When I came across the finish line the first thing I saw was that beautiful Yellow Can-Am Spyder.

After the race, I spent some time hanging out with athletes, volunteers, and military members talking about the Spyder. One guy told me that he just bought a different motorcycle and he wants to sell it to get a Can-Am Spyder Roadster instead. I really enjoyed all of the positive feedback. It really puts a smile on my face.

On the way out, I decided to check out a very cool beach camp site called San Onofre Beach. Surfers really like this beach, because it’s exclusive to military members. It is usually less polluted than beaches in the city. You can really see what I mean in the Spyder shot below. I even got a thumbs up from one of the lifeguards. It was a great ride back and I even stopped as soon as I was off base and took my safety vest off so that everyone on that long ride home could see my BRP.COM logo on my jacket. There were a ton of people on the road and I caught plenty of eyes.

It seemed like everywhere I went today I found active consumers eager to learn more about this unique roadster. I stopped for gas and a couple from Oregon pulled up and had plenty of questions. They were very happy with the book and some fliers. When I arrived at the gate to Camp Pendleton, the marine who checked my ID said “Where’s your motorcycle endorsement?” I quickly explained how the law worked in California, handed them each a SpyderSanDiego.com card, and I was on my way. Even when I went down to Ocean Beach to get a breakfast burrito on the way home, people were swarming and I found myself giving even out more media. AWESOME!

On my way back to the house I saw a friend walking his dog and stopped to say hello. I didn't even call the dog over to me. She instinctively cuddled up with the Spyder. As you can see from the picture below, even dogs love the Can-Am Spyder Roadster.
