Got several invitations/reminders for all y’all:
We pre-rode the August MOAL 2nd Saturday Ride-2-Eat successfully yesterday (OK, it was a little warm). Left from Murphy’s gas station on S. Memorial Parkway @0915. Stopped for a wee pee @1055; arrived at Alabama's famous Bright Star Restaurant @1150. Had a nice luncheon selection which was served quite quickly. I enjoyed the fresh pan-seared salmon with three sides {a substantial portion for $14.95}. The club secretary enjoyed her four vegetable plate for $10.95.
Here’s hoping this invitation will attract some interested riders (or drivers) from the SEC region on the 2nd Saturday of August; we’ll try to sit down to lunch at Noon. >> https://thebrightstar.com <<
RSVPs before 12 August to el Presidente would be appreciated in order to coordinate seating arrangements in this splendid up-scale establishment!

The Georgia BMW Riders are hosting a new Mountain Sky Rally on August 18-20, 2022. Register at their Website: Mountain Sky Rally
The Derby City Beemers Club of Louisville, KY is now hosting their BMW MOA Kentucky State Rally on September 9-11 at the Pine Mountain State Resort Park in Pineville, KY. This event was formerly known as the Pine Mountain MOA Getaway. It is important that anyone wishing to book lodging at the Pine Mountain State Park needs to call them directly at 606-337-3066. They say their KY Rally info is on the MOA Event’s page: https://www.bmwmoa.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1613987&group=
The MOAL folks have been invited to ride with the GA BMW Riders club for a full weekend of riding at Two Wheels of Suches on Sept 16-18. They’ll be Adventure bike riding groups, and as always, asphalt oriented riding groups. Likely the cabins are gone by now, so you should inquire about camping space. >> https://twowheelsofsuches.com <<
That neighborhood has some wonderful backroads to explore! And don’t bypass the Brasstown Pharmacy Drug & Gun emporium for a most interesting shopping opportunity. It’s just a very quick ride up Wolf Pen Gap road to Blairsville, GA!

Lastly, a reminder that the BMW Riders Association annual rally is scheduled at last year’s event fairgrounds in Waynesville, NC for Sept 29-Oct 2.

Be safe & be seen out there in the wild wild wilderness of byway traveling.
