I hope the site selection committee will consider availability of sufficient hotel rooms nearby to accomodate those who are not interested in camping.

I thought yesterday at the MOA Board Meeting they were going to release it? Was I correct?

"You already made one in Canada...How about one in Mexico?" Es verdad, Ruben.
I've asked this question more than once on the forum: If we've held our BMWMOA Rally in Canada, aren't we long overdue to hold an International Rally in Mexico?
Chihuahua would be a perfect location if we wanted to make the rally with an emphasis on hoteling it, which seems to be the opinion of most on this forum.
Population of 682,500 at an elevation of 1455 meters and plenty of things to do.
Day rides, the incredible market where you will be buying your goodies from either Mennonites or colorfully attired Tarahumaras, Quinta Luz-Pancho Villa's old house now occupied by the Museum of the Mexican Revolution. Viva Francisco!
And, if you really wanted to cap off your trip riding home: Tie down your bike to a flatcar on the Copper Canyon Railway and ride coach to the Pacific Ocean. Bueno!
If we wanted to base the Rally on camping, then Creel in Chihuahua Estado is perfect with a population of 4600 at 2338 meters of elevation. Plenty of hotels and already established camping at Complejo Ecoturistico Arareko; if more camping is needed there are plenty of ranchos available. If you're of the GS persuasion, which mucho of BMWMOA is, you will be in Heaven! Ride to Batopilas at the bottom of Barrancas del Cobre. If you're good enough, ride to Los Mochis!
We've ridden to Canada for back bacon, let's ride to Mexico for the chicharrones.
No, not ready yet to announce the specific location, but we have already indicated it will be in the Southeast section of the USA.

I vaguely recall reading in the forum after Gillette was announced that the rally was slowly working it's way out west. Ohio, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and then 2009 was supposed to be on the West Coast somewhere... I'll go search the threads to find what I think I recall.
I was hoping to attend the '09 rally as I was under the impression it was going to be on the left coast. Guess I'll have to pin my hopes on a 2010 rally.

You are one hundred percent correct. The 09 rally will be in the SE and the 10 rally will be on the left coast.![]()
