September Events - more to consider

Tue May 19 14:09:07 EDT 2020

Members,

Thanks to Roger for the update on MOA activities.

There are quite a few other potential rides/activities for September 
that members may want to consider:

*Sept 11-13th,* Morton's BMW Spring Fling - final edition - delayed by 
Covad-19. It's held at Natural Bridge VA, a historic natural wonder 
(owned by Thomas Jefferson at one time.)  Great riding location - about 
1/2 mile off the Blue Ridge Parkway, and not far from Warm Springs VA - 
a great afternoon ride - and visit "The Homestead" a hotel of national 
renown.  The club has typically done a 2 day ride though the back roads 
of MD and WV and VA to get there, overnighting at Stephen's City VA 
(great restaurant near the motel.)  The pools should be open - bring 
your swim trunks. https://www.mortonsbmw.com/springfling_2020

*Sept 18-20th,* NJSBMWR's annual Oktoberfest at Crystal Brook Resort, 
Round Top NY.  A fun weekend - where all your needs are attended to for 
one price. You get a room for 2 nights, 6 meals and great riding all for 
around $200/person for the weekend.  On site is a Brauhaus that is 
always a favorite with club members and club guests.  We open this to 
any rider - and there are usually no prizes, no rewards, no raffles, 
none of the usual rally effluvia - just fun with friends.  The pool is 
still open for those wanting to do some waterworks. Most of us take an 
entire day getting to the rally - some great routes through the NY 
Catskill Forest Preserve (and NYC reservoirs) and some of us take all 
day coming home. If you're in a rush - it's about 3 hours by the NY 
Thruway and GSP.

*Sept 17-20,* BMW-RA National Rally, Waynesville NC. RA national's have 
typically been a bit lower key than the MOA nationals -  but since it's 
a smaller group - they've been able to pick locations that wouldn't work 
for the MOA. The rallies are always fun. Waynesville looks like it could 
be a great 2 day ride through the VA/NC mountains.

*Sept 24-27th, * is the MOA event Roger told us about.  Lebanon TN is 
probably a good 2 day ride by mostly back roads (once out of NJ).

September is typically a perfect time for riding. Not too hot, not too 
rainy and we still have light until about 7PM. There must be one of 
these events you'd be interested in.. or take 3 of them and make up a 3 
week tour of the east coast and Appalachian Mountains.

Not all of these events made it on the club calendar - on line or in the 
newsletter.  Bill D - can you update the on-line calendar?
