APDDave Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I was looking at this ride someone sent me information on and thinking about going down. Does anyone have any thoughts on weather its worth the weekend? Anyone else going from here? http://bmwnef.org/2011%20Winter%20Rally.htm Link to comment
KDeline Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 If you have not already pre-registered you cannot get in at this point because it is on a military base. Link to comment
Bernie Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 As of last night they still 20 or so openings. Just register on that website. Preregistration is required. They will close registration as of Jan 7th or when they reach 550 registration, which ever first. I think registration is a little slow. PS: But you could download the GPS ride files for use during the rally, or anytime else. Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Froze my tail off down there last year about this time for work 29F. Check the weather. The two cafeteria's, if open, aren't bad. Aren't good either but very affordable and made an acceptable cheeseburger. Cool lake in the middle of the camp and an interesting history. FSP were working Blanding Ave in the narrow section a few miles north of the Camp. Cool tiny aircraft museum on the base and base police are rumored to work speed limits but, I never saw them out much! Link to comment
Bernie Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Yes, they are very strict with the speed limit. I normally only eat dinner at the rally. I run into Gainesville for either a bagel/coffee (The Bagel Bakery) or into High Springs (The Coffee Clutch). Check out the GPS routes for more details. Link to comment
roadscholar Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Dave, You can still get signed up today or tomorrow. Ride your 800 down and go on Saturday's GS ride. This is the tenth year I've organized it and pretty much have it down to a science by now. The entire Rally is a lot of fun, there are great seminars, an extensive swap meet, and other side attractions. A lot of people come back year after year for the GS ride, it really is great fun, I know you'd like it. Hope we see you. Link to comment
tallman Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Great people involved. We're not going this year but have in the past. Will guarantee excellent steak on Saturday night (cook it yerself) and it will at some point be cold/windy/or wet or all of the above. But, worth it. Good grub is findable in the surrounding environs. If you choose not to, then head down to Cedar Key later in the month, rumor has it more than a few Jorjans are heading that way. Link to comment
Bernie Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Don't have to cook your self anymore. They hired a cook.) Link to comment
