Itinerant Traveler
The 2018 Morton's BMW Spring Fling Rally is in full registration mode, ready for another great weekend at Natural Bridge, Virginia. Everyone is welcome, and we've got some great things planned for our 8th rally:

  • Covered bridge scavenger hunt ride
  • Brats & Brews dinner Friday evening
  • Catered buffet dinner Saturday evening
  • Presentation by Col Buck Liberto, USMC retired, on the Civil War history of the Shenandoah Valley
  • On-road rider training with Apex Cycle Education (separate registration and payment required)
  • Vendors and reps from helmet, apparel, and accessory manufacturers
  • Great door prizes, including a long distance award
All of this is yours for just $79/person ($89 after April 30).

The rally is headquartered at the historic Natural Bridge Hotel, where we have discounted room rates (use code BMW17). To register for the rally or get more info, please go to www.mortonsbmw.com/springfling_2018.htm.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Just looked at booking a room and noticed it went fast. The dates of the event are no longer open at the Natural Bridge Hotel. I should not have waited so long. Any idea on other locations close by?

Wattstull Inn in Buchanan is a good place, we have stayed there several times. It's 9 miles southwest of the Natural Bridge Hotel.
There's a little restaurant and also a gas station within walking distance.

Edit: I thought the i-BMW rally was a different date this year, but I see it's the same weekend again as the Spring Fling, so the Wattstull will probably be full.

Peaks of Otter on the Parkway is another option.

Did you call the hotel and use the BMW17 code? If you try their online system, it will say they're full because they block out all the rooms for us until mid-April. I am certain there are still rooms available. If you call and still can't get a room -- again, mention the Morton's BMW rally and code BMW17 -- let me know and I'll look into it.

If you prefer other accommodations, we've got a list of them on our rally page -- www.mortonsbmw.com/springfling_2018.htm

I went last year and am returning this year. Morton's does a nice job and it is a good location. Initially there was some confusion with the code when I reserved a room. I mentioned Morton's and it all got straightened out quickly.

I attended two years ago and it was a blast. I am looking for fellow attendees from my area to ride up with. I am leaving Friday, May 18 mid-morning and am hoping to find a group to join for the ride to Natural Bridge Hotel. I ride a RT1200. Please respond here or -
