I just received the NJSBMWR newsletter via email.  As usually, it is outstanding. Thanks to Don, Jim and others that contribute.




The information for the upcoming Finger Lakes BMW Rally needs to be updated:


1)  The Finger Lakes Rally preregistration is on their website.... http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/rally/index.php


http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/rally/flpreregister.php  



2) It is located in Watkins Glen NY, at the foot of the finger lake:  Seneca Lake; about 4 1/2 or 5 hours from our shore area (slabbing it). The rally site is a few miles west in the Hidden Valley Campground.   Great facilities for eating, meetings, entertainment.


3) The rally is over Labor Day weekend... it starts Friday morning 9am (Aug 31) and end Monday (Sept 3)


4) Cost is $65 pre register and $70 at the gate (cheaper rates for children )


5) two dinners are included, entertainment, free camping, reasonably priced breakfast and Lunch specialties including red & white Hots (hotdogs) and sausage hoagie. 


6) If you are not "camping inclined" there are numerous motels and B&Bs in Watkins Glen


7) Attendance is about 700 BMWers; its the club's 44th year holding the event


8) There are a lot of wineries in the finger lake area. and museums, etc.  The website has more info


9) I run the Flea Market on behalf of the FL Club. It's a great place to find all the stuff you don't need and get rid of stuff that shrunk or parts that you don't use.   So, bring all you can carry.   15 items max.  The FL Club takes 10% of the stuff that is sold .  


I go up a few days earlier to help set up the site.  Other club members have attended and may be going up..... so send out an email to the club members if you are interested in a group ride.




Hope to see you there.
