Ride to the Ranch Annual Cookout October 10, 2015

The plans are set for the 4th Annual “Ride to the Ranch” hosted by the First Coast Chapter BMW CCA on the 10th of October. Please come join members from several different BMW CCA Chapters. We know it is a long drive for some of you, but we would enjoy having as many members as can attend.  This is a no cost event to the members or their guests attending, the Chapters are picking up the tab as in the past. So that is one less reason for not attending that has been removed.

If you are coming on Saturday morning we invite you to form a group to drive to the event. First Coast Chapter has done this for the past three years and everyone enjoys the drive with other members. Come on Friday evening, if you want, or spend Saturday night, there is is plenty of space to set up a tent and camp. If you are not into camping, there are plenty of hotels nearby in Lady Lake, Leesburg, The Villages, and Belleview.

All Day Saturday, come early and stay as long as you like. Lunch will be served around 1:00 to 1:30 PM.  Registration is highly recommended and appreciated: www.motorsportreg.com/events/fourth-annual-ride-to-ranch-tiger-head-bmw-cca-first-coast-885750

• A “Members Favorite” Concours d’ Elegance where everyone votes for their favorite three cars and have some kind of award.

If you want to drink something other than tea, please bring your own. We are requesting that anyone attending bring an appetizer or a dessert to share.

Location:

Getting to the ranch is actually part of the event.  MacKay Tigerhead Ranch is on Marion County Road, which is actually in extreme northern Lake County and is identified variously as being in Lady Lake, The Villages, and/or Weirsdale.   I am told you can use the address of 5110 Valley Oak St, Weirsdale, FL 32195 to get close, but the actual driveway from Marion County Road is a dirt road about 25 feet further east and called Tall Pine St. You will cross the Lake/Marion County line along the driveway; the ranch itself is in Marion County. There will be signs on the roads nearby directing you to the ranch.
