2014 - GRAND TOUR
|
For 2014, we have selected 25 historical
sites to visit, that will take you to most of Nova Scotia in the process of
visiting them. You don't actually have to enter many, just take your picture at
a sign or identifiable indicator, but I would discourage this. Why not slow
down, enjoy the site at a leisurely pace and learn as much as you can about our
wonderful province?

Pineo BBQ, August 21 2011
This was a combined AVR, BMWONS club event hosted by Beth and John Pineo.
It was set under sunny with occasional clouds. Some attending enjoyed the newly refurbished pool while others just enjoyed catching up with old friends while partaking of the odd drink and morsel of food. The highlight was indeed the pig roast spread catered by Meadowbrook Meat Market. Many thanks from all who attended to Beth and John for putting this on again. |

Fall Colours run Sep 30- Oct 2 2011This
the BMWONS signature Fall run. 11 members on 10 motorcycles made it to this event. Some arrived on thursday while the majority arrived on the friday. Some elected to do an abbreviated trail run while others made the yearly jaunt 'round the trail. Admidst threatening skies brought on by hurricane Ophelia seven motorcyclists ventured out and salvaged a days riding despite the weather. Light rain was the most they had to contend with. A nor'easter a few days later would have proven more problematic.
