[NJSBMWR] BMW-RA Rally in September

[Don Eilenberger]

September 5th-8th, Woodstock VA. The annual RA rally. Smaller, more 
intimate and less expensive than the MOA rally.  That pretty much sums 
of the RA national rally.

Woodstock is a small town of 5,000 along VA-11 (which parallels I-81) 
about 20 miles south of Stephen's City.  I've made a reservation for the 
5th-8th at:

*Econo Lodge, *1290 S Main St, Woodstock, VA, US, 22664
+1 (540) 205-6768

Looks like your basic drive-up motel. Price was around $75/night. Has a 
restaurant on site. http://www.caramelizedrestaurant.com/ Google street 
view shows the motel as a well kept looking place. Has a pool and 
laundry too.  It's right between VA-11 and Main St in Woodstock, so be 
had to get much closer. It's very close to Skyline Drive and the 
northern part of the BRP, so good riding abounds. There are some great 
roads just to the west of I-81 in that area.

Google maps makes it 4 hrs 40 minutes the way Roger will go. The way 
I'll go (backroads) will take 20 minutes longer than to Stephen's City 
VA - where we usually arrive around 4PM or so.
