Dear Rally Goers,
The BMW Motorcycle Club of Nashville’s 20th annual European Riders Rally is already looking great! The weekend of May 17-20 will be here before we know it, and we’ve been working to make sure this Rally remains an all time favorite.
First head to the log cabin and pick up your registration packets. Don’t forget, the first 180 registered receive a free Rally Towel along with all the other goodies. Here you’ll have the opportunity to participate in the 50/50 drawing and purchase goodies like caps, tumblers, even last year’s t-shirts.
The AG building will be a buzz of activity. Information booths including SkyMed, Dunlop Tires and the Burkesville Trailhead Project will be set up giving you the opportunity to learn all about their services. Seminars, yoga, movies and popcorn, door prizes, even Bingo are all scheduled to take place in temperature-controlled comfort.
The Pavilion is Rally Central through the whole weekend. The drink station will be set up with complementary coffee, tea, lemonade and hot chocolate daily. Donuts and fruit will be available in the mornings on a first come first served basis. We’ll also meet here with the group ride leaders for information and instructions before setting out on guided rides (more information coming soon). It’s the place to be for lunches Friday and Saturday and the best Rally dinner Saturday evening, including your choice of grilled chicken or steak, tossed salad, and baked potato (and did somebody say cobbler?). After dinner we’ll have awards and grand prize drawings, then the band Route 40 will perform. Our host town of Burkesville will offer a breakfast courtesy of the area churches Sunday morning.
Set up your tent on the flat, spacious camping areas all around the city parkland, or park your RV in one of the plentiful spaces with electrical hookups. There are also bathrooms and showers, and we’ll place plenty of port-a-potties around for everyone’s comfort and convenience. All you non-campers should be making hotel or cabin arrangements. You’ll find links on our website to assist you.
We’ve added a Daily Schedule link on the website to help you all make plans for your time at the Rally. Visit www.bmwmcon.org to learn more and register. Don’t forget to register before April 29 to lock in special pricing and to guarantee a t-shirt with your Full Rally Pass.
Looking forward to seeing you at European Riders Rally, because “We Love to Ride.”
Cindy Duncanson and Rod McDonald
