Savannah Rally XIV on Tybee Island Dec 5-6-7

[cognosticator]

This started out years ago as an IBMWR rally and has now grown to be any brand rally. I have been helping with this rally for 9 years and this will be year 14, so come on down, over or whichever for a great weekend of fun.

The Ride To Savannah will be held from Friday, December 5th through Sunday, December 7th on Tybee Island, Georgia. Since Sunday falls on the 7th, what better way to spend the day than a visit to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum - A Story of American Air Power during WW II.

Our home base motel is:

The Dunes Inn
1409 Butler Avenue
Tybee Island, GA  31328
N31 59.706  W80 50.907

Call now to make your reservations - 888/678-0763 or 912/786-4591.  You MUST mention BMW RALLY to get the special rate (working on price - will update future announcement).

The Friday night meeting place will still be at the same restaurant/bar as in previous years - Stingray's, next door to The Dunes.   http://www.stingraysontybee.com/

A Saturday ride is planned.  Meet at the Dunes parking lot at 10:00am with a full tank, ready to ride.  Downtown historic Savannah is about 20 miles from Tybee. This time of year the weather should be very nice and the squares will be decorated for Christmas.

Saturday night at 6pm we'll gather at the school cafeteria on Tybee Island for the world famous LOW COUNTRY BOIL...  fresh shrimp, corn, potatoes, sausage and onions all cooked in large pots, then put on the tables for your enjoyment.  Cost should be $20 depending upon the cost of the shrimp. This price will include beer, wine and soft drinks until they are gone.

No pins, no rally fee, you pay your own expenses and enjoy some fine company.

Sounds fun. I may try to make it depending on my work schedule.

It is a good time.  We had 40 people last year, two as far away as Ohio.  Tell your riding buddies about it.

Been a couple years since I have been to Savannah and Tybee...
Was back in '04, lots of changes since I was there the first time.
Was stationed at Hunter AFB in the mid '60's, absolutely loved that
area...

All depends on how much snow/ice   are on the roads... And it was Hunter, not Travis, changed it in my
original post....

I just made my reservation.

$59.95 a night on the front side, $49.95 a night on the back part of the motel.  This is a small motel so don't think it is a long walk from the front to the back

There used to be locals that would rent rooms on Wilmington Island - for those that don't know: Wilmington is like the second island from Tybee and alot less expensive.

Actually, Wilmington Island is the last island before Tybee. I don't known of any locals that rent rooms anymore.

Plus the motel is right next door to the bar/restuarant and only a mile from where the low country boil will be, so if you tend to imbibe, you sure don't want to be driving.  How much cheaper than $49 you wanna get

I could stay home for free, but this is a "mini" vacation for the wife and I.    That way we don't have to worry any any IUD's  (Is U Drunk)

Decembers a long way off for me to commit to for sure but it sounds like fun and a good way to
meet some fellow Georgians who like to sport tour without having to camp out and all that entails.

The worst part for me is knowing if I will be working or not and having to miss church on Sunday.

I am going to give it serious consideration though and like the idea of a good ride. I'm in Tucker if anyone
else wants to ride down together that would make it more interesting for me . The drive can be boring between  here and  Savannah.  Also I got to get my Tires done by then I don't want to go that far on marginal rubber. But hey it could happen I'm hoping for a chance to get to know more georgia riders in person
