Rally Grounds Walk-Through FR and SAT

[dmaust01]

We are going to be able to add a second opportunity for a walk-through of the rally grounds in Bloomsburg on Saturday at 2 pm. If you are able to make it, show up in the main gate area in the south portion of the fairgrounds.

Here is a map. The main gates are 3,4, and 5. Drive through downtown and watch for the fairgrounds on your left if headed away from the downtown area. Bloomsburg University is on the other end of downtown.

We got a chance to ride up yesterday from SE Pa. and what a great ride it was!
As we got to the fairgrounds I was stunned to see such a large contingent of RV's. To our surprise there was a pretty large AKC dog show going on and it was fun looking at all different breeds and the grooming that was going on. We didn't stay for the meeting although we did get a chance to see some of our MOA friends. It was especially nice to see Sam and Jane Munn Rally Vendor Coordinators.
We also sampled lunch from one of the vendors on site, honey baked ham with melted cheese on a pretzel roll with a nice slice of home made pumpkin pie for desert. My suggestion would be to start dieting now if your going to be eating anything from this vendor next year.
Fantastic ride home with my own personal tour guide Bruce Davis in the lead.

Thanks to everyone that came to Bloomsburg this past weekend to see the site, attend the Board meeting, ride the great roads, etc. The local community has been very supportive and welcoming to all of us. Also, the enthusiasm of the local BMW riders has been contagious.

Excellent Rally site!

Had a nice ride up to Bloomsburg PA on Saturday, with nary a drop or flurry of precipitation the entire trip (though the Gerbings sure were a-crankin' at times). The board meeting was informative, as was the site walk-through. Rally planning is well ahead of schedule, thanks to all those involved in arranging 'the big party' at this excellent location.

Considering all the wonderful roads in the area and the fact that Bloomsburg is a mere day trip for so many MOA members, I'd be very surprised if the '11 National doesn't set a new record for highest attendance. This is going to be another great one, folks!
