July 17, 2011. Day ride called by Bill.
Bill called a ride with the suggestion to ride to Cape George.
Mark Mayer, Bertrand, Shereef and Bill ended up riding to Bridgewater via Peggys Cove, Lunenburg, and Riverport. It was 20 degrees in some places and over 30 in others. Had lunch at the Pub in Mahone Bay.
Ed. note: That is what makes our rides successful: the group sets up the dynamics . One suggestion can easily change to another . In the end the ride determines the success of the days outing.

July 10, 2011. Visit to Fall River Fire Fighter museum and ride.
Nine members and quest of the BMWONS club met at Sunny side to then ride to the Fall River Fire Fighters museum in Fall River, NS.
The museum is trying to publicize itself and the Provincial Gov't will supply directional signage to the museum off the HIghways if they can show a particular amount of visitors per museum season. I believe the figure may be 1000. Thus the BMWONS club helped by visiting today. The museum has some interesting artifacts and displays and is fun for everyone. This club encourages the viewers to this website to visit the museum so that it may qualify for the much needed signage.

Bluenose Rally Report:
The 41st Bluenose Rally , July 1 - 3, 2011, was attended by about 15 members of the BMW Owners of Nova Scotia. The Bavarian Happy Hour was well received on friday evening and by all accounts was warmly received. Stay tuned for a few changes to how we do this for next year.
John Engweiler took home the Oldest Rallyist award and plans to get many more, he announced to everyone.
We did not claim our usual spot as in other years but we managed to assemble a sizable BMW Owners group together to make for a good weekend of club comraderie. See the Photo section under the 2011 photos section for some rally pictures.

Comment on the Mountain Gap rendezvous by Prez. Peter Rouleau.
Good morning Everyone,
A short note to thank all those who attended the sleep over in Smiths Cove. We all
had a great time and surprising enough we were able to dodge most of the rain.
Perhaps next year we can come up with another destination where we can all stay
and eat in the same place. Any ideas folks?
Till the Blunose -------- Happy Motoring...........Peter
PS. For those that did not come, we missed you!
