Now Is The Time To Plan Your Summer Rides!
Trust Me, nothing comes together
without a plan... you need to lay down some groundwork
If you're new to longer rides, particularly to a
rally; consider the first rally below:
April 30 - May 3 The Sturgis, Michigan
Mini-Rally (185 mi from Midland)
We are lucky to have this rally here in Michigan. Not only is it a great way
to
start the Rally season, it also offers the novice rally rider an opportunity
to get
involved at a very minimal cost. There is plenty of space for camping, it's
close
to home, there are activities, meals, great sights, great people to meet,
field
events and door prizes. There are also fantastic restaurants in the area.
If you are interested in attending and would like to ride to the Rally in a
group,
contact Rich Best our Activities Director.
April 30 - May 3 The Georgia
Mountain Rally - Hiawassee, GA (8-900 mi from Midland)
This is an interesting Rally. Getting there is quite the adventure, you will
travel
on some of the best cycling roads in America. There is a very good write-up
about this Rally in the Jan issue of BMW-ON. It's a fantastic experience but
if
you plan to attend, bring your rain gear, it has rained 9 out of the last 10
years
May 14 - 16
Great River Road Run - Soldiers Grove, WI (8-900 mi from Midland)
Over the top on the way there and under Chi Town on the way home (or the
other way around, depending on the weather). The Rally fee is minimal but
the
experience is memorable. Very close to the Mississippi, plenty of history in
the
surrounding area. If you plan to attend, bring your warm sleeping bag.
July 15 - 18
38th BMW MOA National Rally - Redmond, OR (a long way from Midland)
What's to say... this is the Biggy! If you ride and want to see something
other
than freeway, allow at least two weeks and probably more!
