Presidents,
Less than two weeks to go. It's the even you've been waiting all year
for.
The tenth annual Blitz To Branson (`X`) will be held from Thursday, April
14th through Sunday, April 17th 2005. We start the fun early this year,
so if you can make it to Branson on Thursday, plan on being there
Thursday. This year we're staying at The Barrington (N 36 40.011 W 93
15.153) just downhill from the Branson Towers. The Barrington Hotel &
Suites' number is 800-760-8866 and Dolly is in charge of reservations.
Be sure to mention that you are with the Internet BMW Riders for the $35
per night rate.
I am hosting two meals this year. For those of you arriving Thursday,
join me that evening for Thai Bunny at the Taste Of Thai Restaurant.
Friday at noon we'll observe the annual Bunny Lunch at Mickey Gilley's
Texas Cafe.
The usual agenda is meeting and greeting on Friday afternoon and evening
in front of The Barrington. Saturday there's a continental breakfast in
the hospitality room or you can order off the menu at Branson Towers'
dining room or walk or ride to nearby cafes or restaurants.
The Kringle Committee will be bringing in fresh Kringles from O&H Danish
Bakery in beautiful downtown Racine, Wisconsin.
Saturday April 9th is the first day of the MOA Mileage Contest. Your
miles to Branson will count this year. Be sure to bring your mileage
forms to have signed and remember to mark the mileages of any BMWs you
leave at home.
Watch for the Authority Bike Parade. Keep watching... and have your
registration and proof of insurance handy.
A group - led by Jim and Sherryl Hair - (or do it yourself) lunch ride
leaves at 9am Saturday and returns about 3pm - directions will be
available in the hospitality room. And Dale Oliver might be prevailed
upon to lead another adventure ride! Lunch has been at a picturesque
trout farm on the route (where we aren't the only ones who dress funny) -
or you can pick your own place. There are great Missouri and Arkansas
roads to ride on Saturday for the adventurous, or plenty of outlet mall
shopping and live shows for the
weary.
A buffet supper is scheduled for 5pm Saturday evening followed by
incredibly cool awards - including door prizes donated by fellow
Presidents. Do you have some to share? Please bring them. One year
there was even a bike! And then we'll take the Official Presidential
Photo by the banners.
You may DRESS FOR SATURDAY DINNER in your best - or worst - to be
considered for awards. Presidential decree will decide the winners.
We're looking for a leader for our fellow Presidents in the no longer
Virgin Blitz Band. We've added 4 and 8 PM on Saturday as official
musical times, but I expect there may be practice on Friday too. If
you've got instruments, bring 'em. There are even awards!
Sunday morning - more continental breakfast in the hospitality room, or
arrange your own gathering.
The BMW Motorcycle Owners Of Alabama, as part of the 2005 Rocket City
Rally, will be raffling a 2005 BMW 1150 Roadster (non-ABS). Tickets are
$5.00 and I will have them available in Branson. Ticket purchasers need
not be present to win. The drawing will be during the rally on Saturday,
May 28th, 2005.
If you plan to celebrate the tenth annual Blitz To Branson, send your
name and home city and state to me offlist at RWMunday@xxxxxxxx . Also
let me know if you can attend Thai Bunny and/or the Mickey Gilley lunch.
