Presidents,
The second longest-held IBMWR rally, the Blitz To Branson `X` will be
held from Thursday, April 14th through Sunday, April 17th 2005. We're
starting 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, which have become a Bunny tradition in
Branson. For those of you arriving Thursday, join me that evening for
Thai Bunny. 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.
Saturday is the first day of the MOA Mileage Contest so we'll be signing
forms early and looking forward to the best riding year yet - the one we
haven't done.
A group - led by Jim and Sherryl Hair - (or do it yourself) lunch ride
leaves at 9 AM Saturday and returns about 3 - 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 will be about 5 PM Saturday evening followed by
incredibly cool awards - including door prizes donated by fellow
Presidents and dispensed equitably by the Starks. Do you have some to
share? Please bring them. One year there was even a bike! And then 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 . You
must write... I'm not going to "assume" you're coming. Also let me know
if you can attend Thai Bunny and/or the Mickey Gilley lunch.
