For anyone attending the BMW MOA International Rally in Oregon later this year, we are pleased to announce the Redmond 1000 long distance challenge. This is a special SaddleSore 1000 ride (1000 miles in 24 hours) organized and sanctioned by the Iron Butt Association especially for the Rally.

The Redmond 1000 allows riders to begin their ride between 8:00 a.m. Tuesday, July 13th and 11:00 a.m. Thursday, July 15. However, riders must finish in Redmond 24 hours after they begin and no later than 11:00 a.m. Friday, July 16. In an effort to simplify the documentation requirements, participants will also be able to start in one of three locations east and south of Redmond: Mesquite, NV, Cheyenne, WY or Miles City, MT.

Finishers will receive a distinctive certificate worthy of framing, as well as other Iron Butt Association gifts at a unique Pizza Party ceremony. Founded by Iron Butt Rally veterans during Daytona Bike week, the Pizza Party is an IBA custom steeped in tradition. Mike Kneebone, the IBA Chairman, will host the party and personally present each finisher with his/her certificate.

Pre-registration will be required in order to participate in this special event. We will announce the details, once finalized, in the Owners News and on the MOA forum. Stay tuned. Please send any questions about this event to me at r.nye@bhcousa.com.

2010 Rally -- the Dechutes Expo Center. 

Deschutes County Fair
and Expo Center
3800 SW Airport Way
Redmond, Oregon 97756

 

 

You with your family and friends are invited to the 38th BMW MOA International Rally being held at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center in Redmond, Oregon. The official dates are July 15 - 18, 2010 - but we will open Registration at noon on the 14th to provide time to get familiar with the grounds, the area and start relaxing after your ride. The theme of this year's rally is Ride, Rally and Relax in Redmond. For many of us attending the MOA Rally is our time away from work, a time to reconnect with friends from various parts of the world, an opportunity to travel to a new area or return to an area that has fond memories, and to visit the Vendors to see and touch the latest accessories and apparel and look for the item(s) that you can't readily find in your home area and items you can't live without. New for this year is an emphasis on meeting riders from your state/province/region to celebrate the character of our many local clubs.  As the Fair and Expo Center grounds are large, we are able to offer an area for chartered clubs to have a tent brought in or use a club trailer as a focal point for activities.  The tent or trailer will be in the loud camping area, but no generators are allowed and no roping off an area is permitted.  We'll provide sufficient space between club tents and trailers to accommodate campers.  To do this - we must know the size and delivery time of your tent or trailer to the grounds no later than thirty (30) days prior to the rally - so, please, by June 14th. March 1 is opening day for Rally Pre-registration and the registration for RVs and dry camping.  106 Sites are available for full service hook-up in the RV Park. The designated dry camping area is available at no charge and will be used for all individual trailers not pulled by a motorcycle. We hope you can ride, fly, drive to Redmond to join your BMW MOA family and friends for the 4R Rally.
