SATURDAY - Ride to the BMW Rally

BMW MOA's rally is known for its tremendous vendors. You don't need to ride a BMW to find some great motorcycle gear, accessories, parts, etc. In addition, the seminars are varied and informative. Just a 50 mile ride will have you at the Meadow Event Park - birthplace of Secretariat - to enjoy all that the rally has to offer.

Or, explore the history in the area - or just sit and enjoy the quaint town of Colonial Beach.

THERE ARE OTHER LODGING OPTIONS IN/NEAR COLONIAL BEACH IF THE RIVERVIEW IS FULL
