The BMWBMW Square Route rally is this weekend, Thurmont MD (actually about 10 miles west.. those 10 miles are some of the most interesting riding in about 100 miles..)
I think I've been there 16 times, perhaps more. It always rains. The weather guesser is saying it won't.. but I'll put money on a Saturday afternoon flash storm, probably all of 15 minutes long.
I know a few other denizens of this forum have been known to go, I've got to convince myself to go again (I was just riding in that area about a week ago.. on the way back from Morton's Spring Fling in VA..) If some other R12R owners are showing up that might tempt me.
Bill Webster - is the baby big enough to run away for a weekend yet?
Rally is a good time, food is good, Friday night usually has a good talk, Saturday night there has been some decent (and some awful) entertainment. Beer is good and inexpensive. You can sleep in the dirt (camp - hi Harry!) or take a bunk in one of the bunk houses. I'd suggest good earplugs for either option. I seem to recall $45 being the on-site registration, but I could be wrong..

Re: Square Route Rally anyone? This weekend..
Don, thanks, the baby just turned 3.
She loves "Stephanie Street" and orange and yellow, so the Concept Ninety is right up her alley. I can't make it to SRR this year, but I do have some free time Saturday afternoon. I live about 30 minutes away from the camp and would be thrilled to give you and anyone else a tour of some of my favorite roads in Maryland horse country. We could also get some lunch if time allows.

Re: Square Route Rally anyone? This weekend..
I wish I'd know about the rally a couple of weeks ago, Id have made some plans to ride down. I always liked that part of the country.
