21 ST ANNUAL "AIRHEADS AT THE AERODROME" CAMPOUT
Mid Hudson Valley, New York
June 24-26, 2016

This year we will be celebrating our twenty first year of fun at Dutchess County Wilcox Park, located one mile east of the Taconic Parkway on Route 199 in Milan, NY.

Come join us for two nights camping with lots of shaded camping space. Clean restrooms, free hot showers, covered pavilion, swimming lake, boating and fishing lake, fields, hiking trails and many great local riding roads. Renowned Chef Karla will once again prepare her fabulous Saturday night steak dinner (ONLY for those whose pre-paid pre-registrations are postmarked by 10 June 2016). There are restaurants and stores about 8 miles east in Pine Plains, NY or 10 miles west in Rhinebeck, NY for those who choose not to pre-register or wish to fix their own meals. Cooking and campfires on site are permitted. BTW, vegetarian entrees are also offered for the non flesh eaters as part of the 80' long buffet spread.

All brands of motorcycles are welcome, not just BMW airheads, but please, NO LOUD PIPES. There will also be an informal swap meet for those who wish to bring along motorcycle related parts to sell. Swap meet vendor spaces are free. You can still ride to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome on Saturday afternoon for an amazing air show. (Air show admission not included in the rally fee, www.oldrhinebeck.org) This year we will also offer the choice of a self-guided ride to the 85,000 sq. ft. Motorcyclepedia Museum in Newburgh, NY featuring over 500 motorcycles and other attractions. www.motorcyclepediamuseum.org

21st Airheads at the Aerodrome

Space is filling up. Don't wait until we run out of space. You snooze, you loose. There is a reason I haven't advertised this gathering for 10 of the last 21 years.

Last call. Just a few spaces left. Please don't just show up at the event if you are not pre registered, we won't have room for you. If you do decide to come at the last moment, at least please call my cell to see if we can admit you. Our door bouncer/keeper of the list is tougher than Studio 54 ever was. =8^0

Many thanks to those of you who have once again supported us for the 21st year!

Friedle
