SO glad they moved the Rally dates!

[Omega Man]

When will they publish the exact dates for 2020, or have they already? I've never been to one and I'm in Denver area so it would be a great ride to get there thru Jackson/Yellowstone and I do want to go thru Flaming Gorge as well. I would ride out the very lovely and easy 40 out of Denver to Flaming Gorge.

I believe 2020 will be in the central region

[PGlaves]

Great Falls, Montana - June 25-27, 2020

Fargo, North Dakota in 2021 I'm pretty sure.

OOPS .... so sorry thought he was asking about 2021.

Morning!

MAD DOG here, Beer Garden Chair.
Well...I'm so glad that every one enjoyed the $3.00 Porter, and our selections last year, {and those "lucky " few who got to see me dance with the ventriloquist on stage}, because The MOA will not be running the BG in Great Falls. Just too much money in booze, I'm afraid. So hopefully there will be a pub crawl that I can enjoy again!

On another note, very happy to cross the Mid-west from Ct. in June and not July. But I also remember that we had hail every day in 2015, or was it '98. Either way it's not summer in MT. in June.
See you then everyone.

Daytona would work fine.

Daytona in June ? Really ? It is hot, humid and a place where a curve is a right turn!

If the moa can’t have the beer garden why is that not a automatic rejection of that site!

[EUGENE]

Surprise, because not all members drink beer!

Well, it used to be that way... I’ve seen excellent sites rejected because we were not able to sell our own beer. The reason was that we wished our members to benefit from quality beer at rock-bottom prices and still put a little money in our account.

These days, more and more venues have exclusive contracts with concessionaires, which eliminates our ability to sell.

So.... in the interest of finding good venues in decent locations, we had to have some flexibility in this respect.

Honestly, I am glad we did... it opened the door to a lot of better venues.

Dittos to Ian's reply. We were missing out on some great sites before the Board decided to be flexible with this "wish list" site requirement.

So this one will rank right up there with Salt Lake City
