We had a very successful RIDING RALLY this year, Friday through Sunday, September 10th through 12th, 2021.
Thanks to all whom attended - we had well over a 100 attendees and multiple vendors participate in our Rally this year, more than we had hoped for and expected!
The Land of Enchantment BMW Riders invite you to attend the 2022 annual Bavarian Mountain Weekend Rally, one of the most unique takes on a BMW and all-brand motorcycle rally in the West. Our Rally is still held at the Sipapu Ski & Summer Resort in the northern New Mexico mountains of the Carson National Forest which offers beautiful views and awesome roads for riding!
The 2022 Rally will take place, as always the weekend after Labor Day, Friday September 9th through Sunday September 11th, 2022.
Check out this great article about our Rally as published in the BMW ON Magazine.
We're planning to back our popular Mexican dinner Saturday and giving everyone a good taste (not a full meal) of our signature Green Chile Stew Friday night.

The Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort is located about 25 miles southeast of Taos on NM 518. Our rally officially begins on Friday morning and ends first thing Sunday.
We are planning numerous do-it-yourself ride routes for local rides as well as all-day rides all over Northern and Central New Mexico. We will provide paper maps, GPS downloads and Google Maps for everyone. We also invite anyone interested to do some off road riding too, lots of dual sport areas available to check out.
