Hello Riding Enthusiast and Endurance Event Fans,
Gary from the Asheville BMW riders reached out to me and asked if I could post this for members that are interested. Please register at http://www.abmwr.org/ or reach out to John Koenig at Holoholojohn@gmail.com for more information.
The Asheville BMW Riders in conjection with Eurosport Asheville will hold its second annual Blue Ridge High Pass Boggie, a single day fund raiser for the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. Participants will enjoy scenic mountain vistas and the best motorcycling roads the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer. You’ll enjoy a choice of 3 different routes. A long challenging 400+ mile pavement ride, plus the options of a shorter paved 200+ mile route, and a very interesting dual-sport loop for the adventure folks. Shortcuts will be available to allow more leisurely-paced riders to select a route that reduces mileage and ride time. This event will follow a loose rally format, although riders will receive directions for the entire route (including short-cut options) up front at check-in. Riders will then depart at their own pace and ride with others (if desired) in small groups according to their riding style or personal preference. The all-paved-road 400+ mile loop will take about 10 hours, the 200+ mile loop will take 4 to 6 hours, and the Dual-Sport (mixed pavement and gravel) will take 6 to 8 hours) running at posted speed limits and allowing for fuel stops. Allowing for stops along the way, riders should have plenty of time to re-collect for a buffet dinner at (Wild Wings Cafe) Asheville . Participation includes a commemorative ride t-shirt, bike sticker, Friday night mixer at Eurosport Asheville " with...INCLUDING PIZZA AND BEVERAGES., continental breakfast, catered dinner, and many door prizes during dinner. Fuel, food, and rest facilities are readily available along the route. Lunch will be on your own.
