I just stumbled across this event on the web site last night. I registered immediately and snagged a hotel room. I've never been to an MOA sponsored "weekend getaway," but I've been to similar weekends in Death Valley sponsored by Edelweiss. From the description, it doesn't sound like a full-on rally with camping. It sounds like a group of riders gathering at the Crystal Inn.
Sound like they had a grand time last year:

The Cedar City event last year was my first BMWMOA event ever and it was a blast. So much so that I'm going back again this year. The host hotel is a small Utah based chain of a few properties and the rooms are very clean with fridge, microwave, DVD player and wireless Internet.
Since I live just down the road 175 miles or so in Las Vegas I went back up last weekend to scout more GS type routes and beat the heat here in Vegas. On or off road the scenery is gorgeous.
Two weekends from now I'm going back up to spend four days in and around the Bryce / Escalante / Hwy 12 area looking for more GS routes.

Well, it'll be fall in Utah, and I remember Septembers where it didn't rain at all, and others where it rained all month long. The chances are that it will be nice, though — September is usually predictably pleasant. The elevation changes in the area are considerable also. Within 50 miles of Cedar City you'll find highways below 3,000 feet and those above 10,000 feet. In one day, you could have temperatures in the low 90s F near St. George, and that dip to near freezing at Bryce Canyon. The same day could see warm sunshine in the desert areas, and rain over the mountain passes.
In other words, no guarantees, but I'd be willing to bet on it being fantastic.

We just joined and live in Utah, so we were really excited to see this rally - until we went to register and found out is is sold out! Is there a waiting list? Is the event limited by the number of hotel rooms? We really want to be there to meet lots of other folks!

Great time
Four of us were returning through Cedar City as part of our 10 day National Park tour last year and adjusted our schedule so we would be there Friday Night for at least the meet and greet.
It was a great time and although we had to leave Saturday morning, we met some great folks and had a few adult beverages and snacks. We met Jackie Hughes and Ted Moyer who convinced us to put on our own Rally, which we did the "Treasures of Yosemite" Rally.
As timing and luck would have it, the MOA has scheduled another Rally during the same time we will be in the area, but our timing will be off this year.
If you can swing it, make the ride.

Yup, BMW MOA says that it's officially sold out. That's too bad. Well, I guess it's better than nobody showing up, but still a bit disappointing. I was holding out on registering until I could get a long-range weather forecast for the dates and a better handle on some work situations (that, coincidentally, will require that I actually be in Cedar City), but it looks like waiting was a bad plan on my part. Maybe next year they'll plan for a larger crowd.

I begged my way in on a cancellation last year... it never hurts to try.
There's still no reason not to come; you might not be able to attend the banquet or go on the organized rides but there will be plenty-o-splinter groups I'm guessing.
The weather for this weekend in Cedar City and Bryce calls for a low of 38-43 degs and a high in the 60's. Clear and sunny....
Sounds perfect to me!
See you all there on Friday!
