12 Annual Big Sioux Riders Spring Campout at the Dam... on Mother's Day

The 12th Annual Big Sioux Riders Campout will be on Mother's Day weekend in 2015 (May 8-10).  We are going to start on Friday again this year for everyone who wants to come a day early.  The location will be the Fort Randall Creek Recreation Area SD State Campground (near Pickstown, South Dakota) again this year.  We are still working on options for a Friday dinner.   There will be a cook out again Saturday evening at the camp ground of brats, campfire beans with chips and desert.  Free, hot coffee will be provided the whole weekend.  This is a low key, low cost get together and a good time for everyone to get out and get their tires warmed out. All Friends and fellow riders are welcome.  We'll be posting more details in comments or below as we get them.

Big Sioux Riders Update - March 11th

The 2015 Jones'n Party is in the books.  It was a great party, just wish I could have stayed longer for the movies.  I heard they were good.

I received an email from Mary Hawes of the Autobahn Riders in Sioux Falls.  The Autobahn is hosting a ride-in to Martinsburg, NE for noon this Saturday (March 14th).  All Big Sioux Riders and friends are welcome.  If you want any further details contact dalenordlie@sio.midco.net .


Bak BMW's Open House on March 28th.  Pencil that date in on your calenders.  The annual spring open house is now officially the last Saturday in March every year.

The monthly meeting is normally the third Tuesday, but Pres. Terry has requested that we move it from St. Patty's Day (Feb 17th) to Tuesday, Feb 24th.  Right now we are planning on a ride.  Meet at the Gordon HyVee at 6 PM if the weather looks good.  I'll send an alternative out if we are not riding later.

If anyone wants to ride with Jim near Jasper, Arkansas in April contact him (jimj@urbaninc.com).  The dates he is going there will be April 22-26 according to my BSR Calender.

It is rumored that 2015 will be the last year of the Branson Blitz.  The official date of the Blitz this year is April 17-19th.  Original Randy and I are planning on being in Missouri and Arkansas the week of April 11-19.  The Branson details are here: http://tinyurl.com/nlqevap .  The hotel is the Honeysuckle Inn and Conference Center, 3598 Shepard of the Hills, Branson - 1-888-386-3648.  Mention "Internet BMW Riders" when you call to get a room and a discount.  You don't have to bring a BMW, there are plenty of all types of bikes there.
