Appreciate your Club marketing your annual event as a viable layover for the 24' Redmond OR National Rally.
For many of us having the flexibility of time (what is "retirement" for the win Alex!), the Club Rally's are fantastic opportunities
to tie-in a route/ride... a welcome diversion from the point A to B that is usually necessary.
And it's been a few years since I last attended the MN event, and there's a few other riders along with me this year.
Including, possibly... you're long distance traveler (FL).
Though, not quite like the smooth-top Airhead Million Miler Club member you folks have.
We like the fact that Sunday's departure offers us 10 riding days into Redmond; and the ride from Money Creek west... is ripe with choices!
Plus there's PIE ! ...see you there.

Thanks for the nice words - we'll be excited to have you! There's always some stiff competition for the long distance traveler award, one year I believe it was down to two riders that traveled together, but lived next door to each other!

If you're on the fence about attending the Minnesota Hiawatha Rally - Dunlop Motorcycle Tires will be bringing a van full of goodies - including some very, very nice rebate coupons for all those in attendance - how good? Well, you'll get way more back than your price of admission to the MN rally

Many Kudos to the MN Club members and their officers for the ‘24 Hiawatha.
With any more prizes given out… your fantastic sponsor's & Leo’s BMW would be empty!
Great idea having the “sleep-in’ till 9am rain for Saturday morning…
bummer, I have 7am kidneys.
Thus a weather report: very wet & chilly. Enjoyed the sunny walk for pie at the pavilion Friday. Handy & tasty. Speaking of food, I’m still packing that massive meat stack of bbq served up Saturday. Absolutely delicious!
I’m now 750 mi and two days west in the Black Hills… NOT hungry yet!
Meat sweats both nights though… and you called folks up for seconds!
My weight & balance is likely shot till next week reaching Oregon. If the sweats don’t stop by then I’m calling SkyMed to take me home!

Thanks again to everyone who volunteered at your annual rally. I enjoyed meeting many of you. Cheers.
